Adventure 2: Pulled Pork Results

I rushed home from work today, a little worried about what I would come home to this time.  The apartment smelled amazing!  I opened the crockpot and found the three pieces of pork drenched in their own juices and when I went to pick the pieces up and put them on a plate, they just started falling apart.  It took about a minute or two to take two forks and shred the meat.  I warmed up the french rolls on a skillet and dinner was ready.



 
The pork tasted great, I added a bit of Jack Daniel's BBQ Sauce to the sandwich and it was extremely filling.  This is something I'll be making all year round, and its basically $10 for 4 lbs of pork, which makes for an extremely cheap and delicious meal.  The first time around is much more expensive just because you have to buy all the seasonings.  With almost 4 lbs of pork, we had enough for 5 sandwiches.  I might make more next time, just so we have more leftovers, but thats because I love leftovers :)


P.S. - I asked my friend at work about the B.O. smell and he said it was most likely from mixing the vinegar and the cumin and cayenne pepper.  So if that smell bugs you just don't add those seasonings.  The smell was NOT there when I came home, so I probably won't change anything.

I LOVE coming home to dinner practically ready to serve.  Its so nice to not have to make dinner after a long tiring day at work.  My Crock-Pot and knife set are definitely the best presents I've ever had and I'm getting so much use out of them.  Thanks to my parents and grandparents!
