Servings: 6

Preparation duration: 5 minutes

Cooking duration: 420 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1-2 large tomatoes, diced (I did not de-seed them, but you can if you prefer.)

4 medium garlic cloves, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 medium sized pork loin

1 large jar tomato sauce

Equipment:

cutting board

slow cooker

Cooking instruction summary:

Before chopping, dicing and tossing in the crock, thoroughly wash your veggies. Once you have everything minced and diced, place garlic, onion and tomatoes in the crock pot with a jar of tomato sauce. Carefully place the pork loin in the crock making sure the entire piece of meat is covered with sauce. If needed, add part of another jar or a bit more liquid (water) to the crock.Turn the slow cooker on to low. The low heat and long cooking time will make the pork really tender and will easily break or pull part when done so there is no need to cut into small pieces. Cook on low for 5-7 hours.When ready, pull apart or shred with two forks. We leave it in the crock to do this, but you may take it out and do it on a cutting board if you prefer. Either way be careful not to burn yourself with hot sauce or the edges of the slow cooker. Turn off, remove lid and let cool for about 15 minutes before serving over pasta.

Food Joke

Why I Fired My Secretary I woke up early, feeling depressed because it was my birthday, and I thought, "I'm another year older," but decided to make the best of it. So I showered and shaved, knowing when I went down to breakfast my wife would greet me with a big kiss and say, "Happy birthday, dear." All smiles, I went in to breakfast, and there sat my wife, reading her newspaper, as usual. She didn't say one word. So I got myself a cup of coffee, made some toast and thought to myself, "Oh well, she forgot. The kids will be down in a few minutes, smiling and happy, and they will sing 'Happy Birthday' and have a nice gift for me." There I sat, enjoying my coffee, and I waited. Finally, the kids came running into the kitchen, yelling, "Give me a slice of toast! I'm late! Where is my coat? I'm going to miss the bus!" Feeling more depressed than ever, I left for the office. When I walked into the office, my secretary greeted me with a great big smile and a cheerful "Happy birthday, boss." She then asked if she could get me some coffee. Her remembering my birthday made me feel a whole lot better. Later in the morning, my secretary knocked on my office door and said, "Since it's your birthday, why don't we have lunch together?" Thinking it would make me feel better, I said, "That's a good idea." So we locked up the office, and since it was my birthday, I said, "Why don't we drive out of town and have lunch in the country instead of going to the usual place?" So we drove out of town and went to a little out-of-the-way inn and had a couple of martinis and a nice lunch. We started driving back to town, when my secretary said, "Why don't we go to my place, and I will fix you another martini." It sounded like a good idea, since we didn't have much to do in the office. So we went to her apartment, and she fixed us some martinis. After a while, she said, "If you will excuse me, I think I will slip into something more comfortable," and she left the room. In a few minutes, she opened her bedroom door and came out carrying a big birthday cake. Following her were my wife and all my kids. And there I sat with nothing on but my socks.
