Spring Break

Date & Time: March 12, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: hmmmm pork. So I bought a giant pork roast but don’t have time to smoke it. So I cut it into three roast and cooked in crock pot raised up with some water in the bottom. It didn’t steam the roast since the water wasn’t’ boiling it just cooked it nice and slow with moist heat so it didn’t dry out. I then chopped the pork and since there’s no crispy bit from being on the grill all day I tossed it all into a pan with to fry slightly and create some tasty bits. I also sprinkled on a little liquid smoke and some hickory bacon salt for good luck. I have to say it turned out pretty super fantastic. Not as good as on the grill but pretty darn close. I might try again but wrapping the roast in bacon or leaving the water out to let it dry out a little… We served the pork with flour and corn tortillas.
Sides: Jalapeño hot sauce; jarred salsa (not a jar but a refrigerated tub, it was a little sweet for me but the ladies liked it, meaning Carolyn and Delia) and chips; black beans with spicy chorizo; some sort of crumbly Mexican cheese; and guacamole from a bag.
Beverage / Libation: Bottle of red wine.
Desert: I don’t think we had dessert but I can’t remember..
Guests: Uncle blue hair (Jon) in from Florida. I guess when you live in Florida you don’t want to stay there for spring break… Andy showed up late, he was busy playing video games, I want unemployment…
Misc.: I really should be able to come up with something witty to fill this spot with but that’s clearly beyond my ability as an engineer.

Cheerio,
