It was! That happens a lot with your receipes. I got potato rolls (so soft and yummy) to serve it on, but my husband insisted next time a less sweet roll would make it even better. It was really, really good. Worth taking the time to pick the fat out at the end (especially if your kids are like mine and a piece of fat or grissle could stop the meal right there in its tracks). --Cathy KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-19008003367430652382013-11-07T15:27:34.078-05:002013-11-07T15:27:34.078-05:00This was dinner last night.

But now that we *can't* have gluten - we want it in its most nutritionally void form. Forbidden fruit, so to speak. Sometimes my meat in a crock comes out dry. Dry. Especially chicken. I assumed it was from too much heat, too long. I've had better luck with beef in my pressure cooker than crock to make shredded beef bolognese to go over polenta. (Celiac has brought some good things into our lives, like home made polenta. Yum!) Thought pork might be the same. I'll test both and let you know. (And I make beans in my pressure cooker almost weekly with the extras stashed in freezer bags to be thawed on moment's notice for brownies, cookies and cakes - like your gingerbread recipe modified - to die for! Thank you for *telling* me to buy one. I got it for $5 at a garage sale, had the local university extension rep test the seal for $10 and it has been an awesome investment.)dale in denvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-43012786037354003092013-11-05T10:46:50.373-05:002013-11-05T10:46:50.373-05:00Sometimes pressure cooking meat works out great!

It is tangy and wonderful and not sweet, which I love. I'd be happy to share my recipe if you're interested, Catherine. Oh, and while I do like it on a bun, I use Martin's whole wheat potato rolls-- no white flour, no HFCS, no guilt, but they're still nice and soft and kid-pleasing. A near-perfect sandwich, assuming you're not a vegetarian or observant Jew or Muslim. And yes, cole slaw is required. Homemade pickles are optional, but delicious.<br /><br />Oh, and happy birthday, Ben! How can he be 14??

The bun. In all its gluten-y goodness. My poor family is feeling the gluten deprivation since it is now banned from our house out of respect for our 7 year old with celiac. I guess I'm feeling it too, because it took me a while to stop looking at the bun to appreciate the shredded pork in all its glory. I'm thinking I need to do this with Mexican spice and salsa and we can have it on tacos. But 5-6 hours is an inconvenient time span during the work week. I think I could pull out the pressure cooker that you *told* me to buy - and cut the cook time to 45 min. - don't you?<br /><br />And Corina - I want some of your pork!

We raised three pigs this year, raised on the whey from my cheese making, that is. Have you ever eaten pigs raised on pasture, whey and organic grain? No? Well. It's out of this world, and it doesn't come in plastic panty hose.<br />So now I'm sounding all superior, which I don't want to be at all. I'm just sayin', we are going to, uhm, "harvest" our pigs in a couple of weeks, and we'll be drowning in pork meat. I will probably make your recipe once a week! And bacon for breakfast!
