holy cow pig, y’all. this weekend was the second go-round with the crock pot and boy was it a hit. we followed this recipe pretty much to a tee (or to a t? - i was just trying to figure out which it is and failed. anyone know?) so i wont rehash all the nitty gritty for you. but i will say this: make more than the recipe calls for. you will want it. double it at least. triple for good measure. 

pork shoulder and onion smothered in homemade bbq goodness. 

it literally falls apart. 

dive right in. 

top with apple slaw and serve on a fresh roll. repeat. 

i woke up super early this morning, but didn’t really get going until mid-day. sunny sundays call for a walk down to the mar vista farmers market. we ended up not marketing anything, but there was plenty to fill our empty bellies while we browsed. we started off with some fresh squeezed limeade. it is delicious. and the boys working the stand are super nice. i thought one big glass would be enough, but turns out it wasn’t. so when we went back for a second, they gave it to us for cheaper!

next to the limeade stand, they were giving away samples of bbq. a sample of pulled pork later, we were eating a pulled pork sandwich. the potato salad was pretty great too. 

as good as the sandwich was, it wasn’t enough split between two, so we went for some empanadas for a second course. i love empanadas and am sad i wasn’t introduced to them sooner in life. little pockets of wonderful, thats what they are. 

after a walk back, we headed down to a cute little coffee shop/bakery that i just noticed this morning. i didn’t sample any of the pastries, but they sure are pretty.
