I am sorry to have to announce that 'life' has got in the way of another of our members and she has had to relinquish 2 slots, can anybody assist (or find a friend/sister to strongarm)?

Oh well, sideways is better than no ways.

Barbara, that sounds great and looks like it would be good for us!! Thanks for sharing that recipe.

Ladies;

I fix this weight watcher barbecued pork all the time, It is wonderful & simple;
One Lean pork loin (on sale can be only $8.00)
Brown outside of pork in olive oil, about 2 tablespoons;
Put in slow cooker w/
One cup of beef boulion (I use Swanson’s MSG, Fat free)-If I am in a hurry I may microwave the cup of beef bouillon to speed up the cooking.
One garlic glove (I use the minced garlic from the jar, it is 1/2 tsp.)
Put in slow cooker on high setting for 4-5 hours / depending on size , or
you can put your slow cooker on the low setting and leave it all day. I have even put it on the low setting before going to bed and it is done by morning so I could take it into work for get togethers
Pull pork apart with two forks and add heated barbecue sauce (I use Jack Daniels Original barbecue sauce-one bottle)
Put on Whole wheat bun, it’s great & I am always asked to bring it to party’s it is so popular!

Ladies, I am a native of North Carolina and I have enjoyed all the pork pulling conversation here and how to eat it. I like it with a little barbecue sauce on a bun with cole slaw on the side!! Of course, there is always chopped pork barbecue, too and Lorna, yes, NC barbecue is different from Texas. I have a friend from Texas and she laments that fact quite often.

I have sent my reels, but didn't take a photo. I'm sorry I didn't because I have so enjoyed seeing all of yours. This exchange may be smaller than the SOTTs but it will be equally lovely and as PosyP taunts us with the arriving numbers - the excitement grows! Thanks Rosemary!!!!

You ladies who are living here in NC now - where are you? I'm in Raleigh. NancyW

looking forward to not just the fabulous reels, but also those great recipes - definitely want that pulled port butt, sweet potato pie and also the mac&cheese... and whatever anyone else comes up with...
made that fabulous no-knead-bread last night - was all gone by breakfast this morning - YUM!

My reels actually look more like Macaroni and Cheese than dessert. If I have time I can submit my Mac and Cheese recipe. this is the way my Mom made it when i was a kid and to my mind, the only way to eat Mac and Cheese.

I lived in North Carolina for 12 years. It took a bit to get used to the BBQ as it was so different from Texas where I lived before moving to NC. But I do love the NC BBQ now and miss it very much. Pulled pork--or a "pig picking" is yummy. Essentially the pork is so tender it just pulls apart or shreds very easily. Often served on a bun with cole slaw (or more commonly called 'slaw.') It is a more vinegary sauce than the thicker sauce in TX and other areas.

In fact I couldn't believe it but the common way to eat hot dogs and hamburgers were with chili and slaw.

Yes, sweet potatoe pie is a lot like pumpkin pie.

This is making me hungry.

Oh, phooey ! the "E" word !!!

The last" pulled" pork butt in this house was cooked with saurkraut, carrot and apple
and served on rye bread...Yum !

After all those desserts, I guess some of us will actually have to do something with our butts!
