Pulled Pork (Oh this should have happened oh so long ago)

Many many months ago,  Island Girl and I spent a Sunday making pulled pork.  We had some fun taking pictures with the notion of a blog post, alas, poor Island Girl, the pictures sat and sat in cyberspace.  But here they are now.  Rejoice and join me on this journey to yumminess!  
Red onions sliced and placed on bottom of slow cooker

IPA beer and chicken broth

Pork loin, and dammit if I have no idea what we put on it

Everyone in the pool!

The pulling of the pork many hours later



Everyone back in the pool


The rolls....oooh and it looks like paprika may have been involved
at some point

looks good and I believe barbeque sauce
made an appearance in this step
Island Girl digs in

yum yum yummy
We thoroughly enjoyed our pulled pork.  A lesson has been learned.  If you write the post immediately, you will remember all of the ingredients.

time sure does fly...

Hey Ho Howdy,

Time sure does fly when you waste it.  A common theme among recent posts I suppose.  What's new here?  Well I continue to find new ways to avoid doing any productive work both in the house and at work work.  My most recent?  A trip to Disney and Universal that is soon approaching.  I am over the top excited for this. Of the four people in my home, I am the only one that has been there, and that was a long time ago. It eats up every brain cell I have.  I don't expect us to have anything close to a perfect trip, but I am expecting that we will have fun.

So what else?  Let's see....

The Nephew is now in the Navy.  Holy Crap! 

We went on our first big trip sans children to see him Pass in Review!!


The Nephew all handsome.  Well done Sailor!!



There was a parade and our newly crossed over boy scout walked in it!




There was a 10th birthday!


And an 11th birthday!




I tested for my black stripe in Tae Kwon Do!

The cursed spinning hook kick.  Just about did me in.


And he tested for his red stripe!




 And a baseball player was born!

Challenger League baseball is one of the most inspiring
 things I have ever seen

It's been a productive Spring and Summer so far.  Let's see if I can't get myself back in the swing of things here.  Happy day to you.
