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.

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!

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
