What's For Dinner Tonight - Southern Style Pulled Pork

I have a couple of great recipes for pulled pork that I have used several times - one is Tex Mex Pulled Pork and the other is a White Wine and Garlic Pulled Pork. Both are easily made in the crock pot and are absolutely delicious depending on what version you have a desire for that day. My mother was recently asking me about a southern style pulled pork recipe as my brother had made this for her a while back. I did some research and found this at southernplate.com.

Southern Style Pulled Pork BBQ
 
Pork Roast - approximately 5 pounds
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1-1/2 cups cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1. Put roast in slow cooker and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour cider vinegar over roast. Cover with lid and cook on low for twelve (12) hours (can be cooked overnight). Turn off slow cooker and remove pork roast, shred with forks. Drain juices from slow cooker, reserving two cups of liquid. Return pork to slow cooker. To the reserved liquid add: brown sugar, hot sauce and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well. Pour over shredded pork and place lid back on. Place on low or warm setting until ready to serve.

2. Serve on toasted buns and offer additional hot sauce and red pepper flakes if desired. Fresh coleslaw can also be added.

The Rock of Gibraltar

Image
On our way to El Puerto De Santa Maria, we made a detour to see the Rock of Gibraltar. If you have ever seen a Prudential Financial advertisement, you will recognize the Rock of Gibraltar which is their logo. The Rock of Gibraltar is a single large block of stone 426 m (1,398 ft) high. It is a limestone peninsula and mountainous rock that jets out of the end of the British territory at the southwestern tip of Europe. It is home to a network of caves, including the famous St. Michael’s Cave, which is open to the public. At the top of the Rock, visitors can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Morocco on a clear day. Seeing the Rock from below is quite a sight, however, taking a tour to the top tells a much bigger story of how impressive it truly is. We headed out in a small 6-passenger van to make the climb up to the top of the Rock. The road is quite narrow and winds back and forth along the edge of the Rock. For someone like me who is afraid o...

Last Dance of Fall

Image
Of all the seasons in New England, fall is my favorite. The warm days and cool nights of early fall breathe life into my soul and energize me. The beauty of mid fall when the leaves put on a breathtaking display of red, orange and gold is a vision unlike any other. Then late fall arrives when the days and nights get cooler, the leaves fall from the trees and November arrives. November, one of my least favorite months (with March being the other); gray days with little sunshine to warm our bones and brighten our spirits. If it were not for Thanksgiving at the end of the month, and Christmas in December, it might be extremely difficult to get through the darkness. November can bring gloomy moods if we allow it to, so I try to find some fun and enjoyment even on these days. When my oldest daughter was around two, we happened to be looking out on a cool, gray November day. The wind was blowing hard, and the leaves were falling from the trees. As I stood staring...

What Others Cannot See

Image
Early on one would never know, that memories are fading away. A tiny slip up here and there, normal forgetfulness they say. Time goes by with subtle changes, friends and family do not seem aware. If they only see them now and then, what is missing is not clear. As time passes the ones at home, will notice what others do not. They see more things forgotten, bringing sadness and concern. Many may notice a repeated story, from memories of long ago. Not aware that these old tales, are the ones that remain crystal clear. In time the recent memories, become more elusive as days pass by. Questions that are asked and answered, will be asked again and again. What we can see in our loved one, is what others cannot see. New memories will not remain with them, so, each day will bring something new.
