Gobble Till You Wobble V: A Man and His Meat…. and his new toys :D

Gobble Till You Wobble V: A Man and His Meat….

I knew the day was going to be serious when I set the alarm for four a.m.  Not to go on a trip.  Not to go Black Friday shopping.  Not to watch the new Star Wars teaser that was the day before.  No, I was up with one sole purpose and that was to rub my meat. 

Yes, so what I set my alarm to start rubbing my meat at 4, you say that like it is a bad thing.  I had been thinking about rubbing my meat since the time I went to bed the night before.  I mean rubbing it down with delish crushed garlic, and the Hawaiian Alaea Red Sea Salt, ohhh, ya!  I meant business this a.m. for sure!

Ever since I came across the Slow Cooker Kalua Pig from “Nom Nom Paleo” I have been salivating.  I mean it just looked so fucking good!  I have been on a roll.  My pig last week was good.  My chili has been good.  My BBQ isn’t too shabby.  My ketchup, well it is lumpy.  So I am like fuck it! I can do this.  I can do it.  I can’t even screw up a three-ingredient recipe in a slow cooker, can I?  I mean I have been known to fuck up a wet dream, but a slow cooked Kalua Pig, challenge accepted. 

So, I got up and I rubbed my meat in Garlic and Salt… and today I have patiently waited for the pig to cook… We are 13 hours in at this point (set my alarm for 4, but didn’t turn it on so the meat rubbing didn’t start until 6). 

Thanks again Nom Nom Paleo, I am glad I ordered your cooking book!

Start with:

5 lbs of pig butt
Alaea Red Sea Salt
Garlic (5 cloves)
3 slices of bacon... I love bacon so I used four and I had a fourth :D

Then...

line the slow cooker with bacon:

Then get your salt:

GET YOUR MEAT READY:

Rub that meat and put it in the pot!!!

Then Start it up at 6 a.m.

Check it occasionally:

Look at it and smell it a little with three hours to go:

And while this is cooking I go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond... and get my new toy!

I am so ready to pull this thing when it comes out.... at 10 p.m.... 

Also, another first today, I fried some bacon for breakfast... always microwaved before... it was fuck :)

I know what you are thinking you burned it billy b, but I didn't, I like my bacon crispy and a little burnt :D

Happy Day!
