NCP: (Non-Child Post) Pulled Pork

While I don't consider myself a great or adventuresome cook, I've tried a few new things in the last year. Today may mark my biggest challenge: pulled pork.

I'm attempting to make barbecue pulled pork (for those of us from NC, it's simply called barbecue - no need to be redundant with the "pulled pork" part). I bought a 4.7 lb pork shoulder from Fairway, trimmed it using directions I found online, mixed up a rub from a recipe in a slow cooker recipe magazine, and threw it in the slow cooker for 5-6 hours.

Fingers crossed that it turns out ok - will update with the results.

After trimming and with the rub

Ok, so I didn't take pictures of the after. But it turned out quite nice. I was surprised because the meat truly did fall off the bone. All in all, it was yummy!

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

3 Perfect Innings

Jack pitched for the Bluebirds today. He started and pitched three full innings. He faced 9 batters and got 9 outs. Not a bad start.

New Style

Justin had a mullet at some point. I had a boy's haircut until I was four (sorry Mom, but it's true). Jack's testing out the Mohawk. And an action shot:
