Yummmm, the mouthwatering, herb-laden scent of succulent pork cooking into tenderness with Italian seasonings in the slow cooker... The companion anticipation of the crusty Kimelweck-rolls-to-be, gently rising in a covered bowl on the counter...
Yes, it's a day for one of our very favorite, eat-too-much meals ('cause we don't have it as often as we'd like), Italian shredded beef sandwiches! With pork, though; I got some pork roast at 88c a pound yesterday and realized I could make our slow-cooker favorite with it. Too bad I can't eat the smell -- it is SO GOOD and that would be a low-calorie way to enjoy it! We have green salad fixings, so *perhaps* *possibly* *maybe* we'll be able to exercise a tiny amount of portion control.
Hmmm. I think I need to fix this more often so it's not such a huge big deal. I have the other half of the pork roast stashed in the freezer, so perhaps, rather than branching out, I can simply plan to repeat this meal next month. I'd have cooked it all today in order to freeze half of the cooked pork for another meal, but the entire hunk o' pork would never have fit in my slow cooker.
Anyway, hon, we're doing the whole thing tonight, even unto the homemade Kimelweck rolls. Woohoo!
