More Pictures?

My phone won't let me post pictures on this blog, so I actually have to sit at a computer (which I do very rarely).....So, I post all of our pictures at www.thebrownells.shutterfly.com

About Me

My photo
I have a husband and a puppy. I love one and am obsessed with the other. I'll let you figure out which is which. I love my job, my house, my students, my cheerleaders, and my life. I guess you could say things are going pretty well... I teach high school English and coach cheer. Husband is a video game designer. Guess which one the future Brownell babies will think is cooler...

Kalua Pork in a Crock Pot

When we were in Hawaii, we ate Kalua Pork everyday.  I'm not even joking.  We ate Kalua Pork pizza, quesadillas, spring rolls, tacos, patties, and just straight up.  It was amazing everytime!!!!  Andrew takes pictures of ALL his food when we are on vacation......lots of Kalua Pork......

Now that we've been home a week, we are having hard-core Kalua Pig withdrawls....

Now in Hawaii it's made like this:
I think Andrew would look really good in this skirt...
Since I didn't have the time to dig a hole in the ground, hire some Hawaiians, sew Andrew a skirt, kill a pig, etc....I figured out a better way to do it.  In comes the ever-amazing crockpot!!!

I first asked Andrew to get the crock pot down (it's on a high shelf, and that's the benifit of being married to a huge giant) before he left the house.  This is what I found sitting on the counter:
Oh husband.....this is clearly a roasting pan.  I guess this proves how much time he spends in the kitchen.....
Then hauled the real crock pot down (and almost broke my face) from its high shelf  & used some fancy Hawaiian salt to salt the pork.  That's all you do.....Honestly couldn't be easier.  The only pain was that it had to be cooked for like 18 hours! 

Husband - THIS is a crockpot!
You know it's good when there's a hula girl on the top....
After a million hours of cooking,  pulled it out and shredded it. 


Now, I realize that this doesn't look all that delicious, but that's becuase I forgot to take a picture at the end. :(  Mine ended up being a little dry becuase I bought a piece of pork tenderloin.  I would def. suggest buying a pork butt.  I went with the tenderloin becuase it is less fatty, but for a super long roasting thing like this, you need the fat apparently.  Also, it wasn't made by the topless Hawaiians, so it clearly wasn't nearly as delicious.
