Well, we did not eat dinner early. Around 7, we walked the “LONG” walk over to the gym before we ate dinner. Huck made me work my arms out until I couldn’t hold my water. I can only imagine how they will feel over the next two days. We could smell my Slow Cooker Pork before we even walked in the front door. I quickly cooked some fancy potato salad and whipped up some BBQ sauce to go with the pork, so we could eat dinner.

Purple Potato Salad 
  • 1lb Purple Potatoes (or regular potatoes)
  • 1 Hard Boiled Egg- Chopped
  • 1-2 Tbsp Pickle Relish
  • 3 Tbsp Mayo
  • 2 Tbsp Onion- Finely Chopped 
    • Boil potatoes until tender. 
    • Mix together all ingredient in a large bowl. 
    • Serve warm or cold. 
I’m not sure if the purple potatoes were the best choice for potato salad. They became more of mashed potato salad. But the color is amazing. 
A beautiful shade of purple!! 
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
  • 2 lb Pork Roast
  • 1 cup Beef Stock
  • 2 Tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Ground Red Pepper
  • 1 tsp Ground Mustard
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Onion Powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp Fresh Ground Pepper
    • Mix all dry ingredients together and rub on to meat. 
    • Allow to marinate for 2-24 hours. The longer the better! 
    • Place meat into slow cooker. 
    • Add one cup stock and one cup water. 
    • Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. 
    • Shred meat in liquid that is left in slow cooker and allow to cook an additional 30 minutes.
    • Serve with toasted buns and pickles. 

    Beerbecue Sauce

    • 1/2 cup Ketcup
    • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
    • 1/2 cup Beer (I like a strong flavored beer like IPA for the sauce) 
    • 1/8-1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
    • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
    • 1/4 Onion- Fine Dice
    1. Combined ingredients and cook until sauce starts to thicken. 
    I stepped away from the stove for a moment and next thing I knew the BBQ sauce was boiling over the pot and the kitchen was filling with smoke. I was worried that the sauce was going to catch on fire on the eye or the smoke alarm was going to go off. I thought that the flat top stove would be so easy to clean. Boy was I wrong!!! I have had a gas, electric, and now flat top stoves and gas is the only way to go. I have tried a few tips from Pinterest to clean the stove top, but it still has a “dirty” look to it. 
       
    This is burnt BBQ sauce. I really thought it was going to catch on fire. Now, time to enjoy a relaxing evening at home. Tomorrow, we are going to check out the Abacoa Community Garden. Excited to get our hands dirty planting plants, and meeting some of our neighbors. Goodnight!!
