Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Toby has to work on the 26th and 27th, so holiday travel is delayed a bit. We've got a couple of friends coming over for Christmas dinner tomorrow, and I am preparing this slow-roasted pork shoulder right now, as it takes on the order of 9 hours. I'll gently re-heat it and attempt to re-crisp the skin tomorrow if the cracklins require it.

It is smelling so good. So, so, so good. It's been in the oven for 6 hours, and has 2 or so more to go. We're going to have ramen tonight* with some of it, because I can't smell this all day and not eat some of it.

So far, the recipe's highly recommended and I haven't even tasted it. And the cut was cheap, too: we saw it in Kroger last week, a couple of days later I remembered reading that recipe, and we went back and got a 10-pound pork shoulder for $12 and change. I shall have to cook this more!


* Toby is on a Serious Ramen kick right now.
