So we had a huge blizzard last week that covered us in 12 inches of snow. Now that we finally got it all cleaned up, it snowed again this morning. Ordinarily, this would not be a problem, but I promised my husband that I'd go to the butcher and get a pork butt roast for supper. I didn't want to disappoint him, so I tried to drive my little front-wheel drive car through the snow (they decided not to plow, I guess) to get it. Hey, at 99 cents a pound, I could hardly pass it up!
Problem was, I had no good recipes for how to cook it in a slow cooker for shredded pork sandwiches. So I improvised--I mixed a bottle of barbecue sauce with a can of beer and some brown sugar in the crock pot and decided to cook it that way. Let's hope it turns out--I hate it when I experiment in the kitchen and it doesn't work out right.
Since it's so yucky outside right now, I'm debating on whether or not we should go anywhere tonight. It might be a good night to just stay in and hang out and do laundry. I could make my toffee, I suppose. Every year I make it for my family and friends and it's always a huge hit. Maybe that's what I'll do...toffee is always a fun project. Anyone have any great ideas for stuff to do when it's snowing outside and you can't get out?
