BAMF

Yesterday was a big and exciting day for me. Although I am not a "gun nut" my husband is trying his hardest to convert me to one. We went to the gun & knife show at Gibraltar Trade Center... I hate that place with a passion, it is a hoarder's paradise. I absolutely hate hate hate clutter as well as terribly tacky & useless things, so generally I aim to stay away from that place. But my hubby found a separate entrance so I didn't have to deal with most of the toothless/inbred looking people or infinite boxes full of vhs' and miracle hair grow formulas. The last time I went to this place a just about had an anxiety attack, a combination of pms, empty stomach, and irrational thoughts sent me running out the door. Luckily this time went much smoother and I am now the proud owner of...
I am very excited to go to the range tomorrow and see what this baby can do.

In other news I am cooking a delicious dinner today which I have been craving literally every day since the last time I prepared it. It's amazing....




Pulled Pork
Pork Shoulder (mine's 5 lbs and I know it'll be gone by the end of the night)
2- 12 oz bottles of Root Beer 
1/2- tbsp paprika
1/2- tbsp chili powder
salt & pepper to taste

1/2- bottle of barbeque sauce (<3 Stubbs)
2- tbsp honey

Directions: Put pork in slow cooker (after rinsing) pour both bottle of root beer over the meat as well as the spices. Set it on low for 5-6 hours (depending on the poundage). Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, remove it from heat for about 10min so that it's cool enough for you to pull. I usually just keep it on a plate so that I can pull the meat right back into the slow cooker. once it's all pulled toss the meat gently in barbeque sauce and honey. You can serve it right away but I keep the slow cooker on the warm setting for 30min-1hour to let the flavors of the honey and barbeque sauce soak in.
