Crock pot jamacian pulled pork for French Toast: three pounds of boneless pork (any pork will do) one large onion, 1/3 cup mustard, 1/3 cup of honey, one bottle of Heinz chili sauce, five apples peeled, cored, cut into wedges, spice to taste. Cut onion into rings, lay them on bottom of crock pot add pork all wet ingredients, then apples. Cook on high for one hour, then low for four hours, flipping meat halfway through. Wgen done, remove pork and shred into strips. Place shredded pork back into sauce and stir. Add spices at this time if you like it zesty, and simmer for fifteen minutes. Serve on toasted onion buns. Serves four to six.

7:49 am

Yes. They break down when cooking
7:49 am

That sounds so yummy :)
7:49 am

You can choose your favourite mustard and apples.
7:50 am
FrenchToast

I wish I had those ingredients on hand right now!
7:51 am
crosshair

And literally any pork will do. I once made it with five old bone in pork chops I found in the bottom of the freezer.
7:51 am
FrenchToast

I would prob use granny Smith apples, and a mix of French's yellow mustard and spicy brown mustard.
7:51 am
FrenchToast

lol I doubt I would use 5 year old pork
7:52 am
FrenchToast

Oh I mis-read that HAHAHAHAAAAAAA
7:52 am

Yup, any mustard or apples--it adds the personal touch.
7:53 am

I use onion mustard and Macintosh apples.
7:53 am

7:53 am

Sauce*
7:54 am

I ate 2 already. So good with coffee.
8:07 am
FrenchToast

Oh what the heck is inside out grilled cheese.
8:08 am
crosshair

You made your grilled cheese like nirmal, but you shred up some extra old cheddar and press it into the buttered bread before you place then in the frying pan.
8:09 am
crosshair

You end up with a cooked sheet of cheese on each side of the sandwich
8:09 am

Before Trump, we used to send raw aluminum south where it would be made into cans (tall boys only) then we would buy the cans back for our larfe and micro brewries. Now we have just opened a plant in Quebec to keep it all internal and make our own. Same thing for soup and vegetable cans. We got some good things happening, and oddly enough it is thanks to the Trump regime.

Gratitous clue for the Ma7/36 - Quack. :-)

I usually do get down to 10-15% of words left on my first pass, but it's because I force myself to get all but 2 in every tile as I go from top left to bottom right tile by tile. It's tedious. So if you're not getting so low on the first pass, it probably means you're having way more fun grabbing words as they jump out at you and not beating yourself up.
