More BBQ.
I made this dish last Wednesday, before I knew it was going to be a week full of BBQ. The one downside of making food in the crock pot is commitment. I like eating foods as fresh and warm as possible so I try not to switch up meals after I have started to cook them. The first Wednesday of every month is our staff meeting followed by lunch. We were treated with Famous Dave's catered in our office! I love Famous Dave's so this wasn't too much of a problem. BBQ twice in one day? Ok, I can do this. What I couldn't do was the lunch leftovers and second trip to Famous Dave's the next night for Eric's birthday. I think I might be needing a bit of a "BBQ break".This is the most tender pork I have ever made. I honestly don't know what I did differently but it came out amazing. The texture reminded me of string cheese because it fell apart instantly. I would definitely make this again. I threw some potatoes in the crock pot to soften and soak in all the delicious flavors.

Christmas Blogging Challenge Day 11:
Favorite Christmas Tradition? My favorite Christmas tradition would have to be going to the movies. Do your families do that? We always go see a movie on Christmas day after the dishes are done and the food is put away. Surprisingly, my family has a pretty easy time choosing a movie.
