Too bad we're not eating it until tomorrow! :D

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.

Food porn, hair, Hakkai
Got a new haircut today, went to a new Italian restaurant wiht my Italian class, and took a (bad) photo of the Hakkai I finished Wednesday night, just so you guys can see it. So even if you don't want to see my hair or read the food porn, stick with is because there will be HALF-NAKED HAKKAI!
