Snow Day!

We have been getting snow since yesterday and it hasn't really stopped yet. This is exciting news for me because I was beginning to worry I wasn't going to be able to use the snow pants I bought for Sage. Well, we used them today and she loved it!


Now she's all decked out!

Yumminess-Pulled Pork Sandwhiches

Last night we tried a new recipe and it was a big hit! Tyson said more than once that it was really good... score!

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

2 ½ to 3 pound boneless pork shoulder roast

½ c water

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon chili powder

3 ½ cups bottle barbecue sauce

10 Kaiser Rolls, hamburger buns, or onion buns split

Trim fat from roast. If necessary, cut the roast to fit into a 3 ½ or 4 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle roast with salt and ground black pepper. In a small bowl stir together the water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder. Pour over roast in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8-10 hours or on high setting for 4-5 hours.

Using tongs, remove meat from the cooker; discard cooking liquid. Using two forks, shred the pork and return it to the cooker. Stir in 2 cups of the barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on high heating setting for 30-40 minutes or until heated through. Serve meat mixture in rolls and if desired, with thinly sliced onion and pickle slices. Pass remaining barbecue sauce. Makes 10 sandwiches.

I halved the recipe because it's just the three of us and didn't add the Worcestershire sauce because I didn't end up having any and it turned out absolutely delicious.
