Happy New Year!

Here are some of my latest stats… according to Google Analytics my top post for 2009 was:

recipe for pig’s feet with ginger in black vinegar sauce…

top search term that resulted in entering my blog in 2009 was:

“dukboki recipe”… due to my wife’s famous duk boki recipe

which leads me to believe that “julie and julia” had something going with all the food blogs…

anyways, top picture searches for last year:
pregnancy/parenting comics you can find here.. which happens to be when we found out E2 was on the way.

Update: Highest listed photo on google’s image search for 2009 is “diaper overflow” we’re tops…

This is us having some more fun in the snow… the first time down was kinda fun… the second one we wiped out… oh well. At least we were able to get back up. I’m not sure what the plastic sheet sleds are called, but they are really durable and has incredible low friction properties… perfect for sledding.

pulled pork in the crock pot slow cooking after three hours

We’re snowed in, so this is first three hours of the pork on in the crock pot on HIGH. We just flipped it over and now we wait for slow low cook another 3-4 hours… hmmm… can’t wait.

We haven’t posted many of our recipes lately, but after watching Julie and Julia, here goes :).

So my wife had a craving for pulled pork… we found this recipe on ehow.com

Things You’ll Need:
Crock Pot
Pork Roast
3 Tbsp Chili Powder
4 Limes
2 Tbsp Salt
1 Tbsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1/4 c Vegetable Oil
2 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper

Step 1: Marinade.
Put all of the seasonings, the juice from all of the limes and the oil in a large plastic bag. Add the pork and refrigerate at least 2 hours. This will not only give the pork flavor, it will make it tender enough to pull apart. The longer the marinade sits, the better. Try overnight.

Step 2: Crock It.
Put the pork & marinade in the crock pot. Add water to almost the top of the pork roast. The roast should be above the water about an inch. Turn the crock pot on high and cover. After 3 hours, reduce heat to low or auto. Turn the pork roast every 2 hours and poke with a fork. When the fork goes in the roast easily and breaks apart, cook it for at least another 30 minutes.

Step 3: Shred It.
When the pork roast is done, remove it from the crock pot and place on a platter or in a glass baking dish. Use two forks and begin pulling the pork apart. It should shred very easily. Add some juices from the pot to the pork. Enough to keep it moist and juicy, but not too much.

I’ll update how it turns out…

We fried turkey this year… Have a happy thanksgiving :)

Psalm 105:1-4
1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
