I'll bet what motivated the British to colonize so much of the world is that they were just looking for a decent meal. ~Martha Harrison~

Here is a recipe for a pork Shoulder/Boston Butt Roast. I am going to start around 9 pm tonight and let it cook over night and all day tomorrow. It can  take up to 20hrs in a crock pot.

Slow Cooker Kalua Pig

Makes 12-14 servings

5-6 pound pork butt roast
1 1/2 tablespoons Hawaiian sea salt (coarse sea salt)
1 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring

1. Pierce the pork roast all over with the tip of a sharp knife.  Place the roast in a large slow cooker and rub the salt all over the meat.  Drizzle the liquid smoke over the meat.

2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low Heat for 16 to 20 hours, turning the roast over once half-way through the cooking time.  Depending on how hot your low setting is on your slow cooker, you may or may not need the full 20 hours.  When the meat easily shreds with a fork it is ready.

3. Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with two forks, adding drippings from the slow cooker as needed to moisten the meat.

*Note: For this size of roast, you will need a 6-qt. slow cooker.  If you have a smaller slow cooker, use a smaller roast and reduce the amount of the other ingredients accordingly.

CALLING ALL COOKS!!

This is my own creation combined from several Italian cookbooks. You can’t do it justice if the veggies aren’t from the garden.

4 strips of bacon, cut into 2 in. pieces
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small zucchini, sliced thin
1/2 - 1 tsp dried sweet basil, 1/4 cup loose if fresh
ground pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 cup cream or 1/4 cup half-n-half, or to taste
Grated parmesean, romano, or asiago cheese to taste.
Pasta

Fry the bacon till done. While frying boil the water and cook the pasta. Also thin slice the zucchini and mince the garlic. When bacon is fried toss in zucchini and garlic along with basil and ground pepper. Saute on medium-high till the zucchini is getting soft, then toss in the diced tomatoes. Cook for a couple of minutes and pour in cream or half-in-half.

Serve sauce over pasta, top with cheese to taste.

This recipe for Babootie, a South African dish, is inexpensive, easy to prepare, and absolutely delicious:

1½ tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon garam marsala (optional but recommended)

2 firm bananas, sliced
2 apples, peeled, cored and diced
½ Cup raisins
Tomato paste as needed to thicken

Brown the beef, onions and garlic in a large skillet. Drain off excess fat. Add all other ingredients. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes. Serve over rice (serves 6 to 8 people).

In honor of National Coffee Ice Cream Day, you can make a really easy mud pie: Fill a premade chocolate cookie pie crust with scoops of coffee ice cream, slightly mounded in the center (or alternate coffee ice cream with rocky road). Drizzle with caramel and chocolate ice cream toppings and sprinkle with chopped nuts (pecans are my favorite). Cover and freeze till firm; top with whipped cream to serve.

Some restaurants like to use humor in their menus.

This is the menu for a local place, that does it very well.
