You know when you’re in your car, driving away, listening to tunes, dancing (if you’re cool) and you start picking your nose, thinking for some reason no one can see you? No? I’m alone. Cool. I’m good at being the lone ranger. I do wonder how many people have seen me pick my nose though. Probably an alarming amount. But I’m really good with humiliation…obviously. I do it daily. Might as well do it in front of the public eye rather than just via blog posts. I won’t pick my nose in my cooking videos though, hopefully. My mother would literally stab me. Kidding.
My white bath mat has turned blue. I’m not sure what situation he got himself into to make himself change colors, but I’m angered with him because of it. Ok, it was actually my fault. I washed him with my darks. Why am I acting like my bath mat is a human being? God I’m weird.
Guess what Steph, Laura and I just got? Meaning guess what Steph just bought? A mini disco ball. For our living room. YEP. THAT’S RIGHT. We are going to have a legit dance part in our house. Sh*t is going to get wild. Meaning I’m going to be the DD and dance like a fool first in our living then on the dance floor at some random bar. You know when you’re at a bar and you see a girl dancing like a fool and you say “Wow, that girl is hammered”…yeah, I’m totally the girl you are talking about. But I’m not hammered. I just left my dignity at home with the disco ball.
Has pork ever made you feel drunk? This pork kind of made me feel a bit drunk. Maybe it was the two Americanos I had before I ate that made me talk a million words a second (exhibit A: the three paragraphs above) or the fact I just made love to some Coconut Creme Concentrate, either way, this pork was delicious. I freaking love ginger. I seriously only want to go to sushi get the ginger on the side of the plate. I hate sushi. I always tried to like it because it made me feel cool and mature, but when I eat it I feel like I’m going to crumble over and die. At least I can still eat ginger at sushi restaurants and have a really fresh palate. Fresh palates are cool.

I made this last night, but omitted the honey. The recipe is delicious and still quite sweet. I definitely prefer to use stock instead of water.
On a side note I had to make this recipe on the stove-top. My crock pot broke and I have yet to replace it. The entire bottom of the pot broke off. How does that even happen.
I digress. Thank you for the recipe and the blog!
This recipe was amazing! Even my kids liked it. I love this blog, especially the crockpot recipes, very handy for a single dad …
That’s awesome Bart, tell more of your guy friends about it! I’m pretty much like a dude so I think my recipes are pretty guy friendly 😉
This was delicious!
Glad you liked it Dickie!

Do you think chicken would work?
Absolutely!!

Glad you liked it Kate!
Hi Juli!
Love your blog! Has anyone tried using pork loin in the recipe? They didn’t have pork shoulder so I got pork loin instead. Of course I am now reading things online saying that pork loin sucks as a substitute. 🙁
Any wisdom would be appreciated!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face everyday!!!!
