Comfort Food Waiting After a Long Day

Thanks to some prep work last night, I came home from a long day to a full meal…Carolina Barbecued Pork. It’s frankly the best pulled pork I’ve had since I left the South.

I’m only slightly embarrassed to say that this vinegar-based recipe comes from my old Rival crock-pot book.

I don’t have that crock pot anymore. It broke after more than nine years of heavy use. But my newer Rival does a great job.

Thanks to Michelle, aka MomAtLarge, the recipe is on About.com. Of course in our house, the slaw is not optional. Also not optional, a shot of hot sauce atop the coleslaw.

We didn’t have buns, so we served ours up delectably open-faced.

Yum. Great comfort food on this bitter cold night.

BTW…in addition to being below freezing, it’s crystal clear outside, perfect for viewing tonight’s lunar eclipse. Thankfully, our front porch has a great view. We tried to watch from outside. But this city girl didn’t last long. The iFarmer tried to get some iPhotos. But they’re pretty, as Randy would say, “pitchy.”
