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!

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.
