Rootbeer Pulled Pork

This is a crockpot recipe and I got it from some random site that I can now not find the link too and I hate that. If you find it, all I know is that part of their logo was a cupcake... This is super easy.  First, place in your crockpot a pork roast with really good marbling.  That's the fat that's going to allow for you to shred the pork later.  Add about 12 oz of root bear, the naturally caffeine free kind (A&W or Mugs).  Let that go for about 6-8 hrs.  The last hour, using two forks, shred the pork and then add in some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, like almost the entire bottle and let it sit for a bit... OMG! This is soooooooo good!!!!


The Perfect Homemade French Fry

No pics with this post, but these are my tips on the perfect french fry, based on something I saw on Food Network.  First, stop with the Russet potatoes.  I use Yukon Gold for fries and most things actually.  Second, whether you cut the potatoes thin or thick, make sure you soak them for at least 5 minutes.  Then, you will want to place them, in a single layer, on paper towels and pat them dry.  Make sure you oil is hot enough, but below the smoking point.  After the fries are to your idea of done, put them on a layer of paper towels and add that Lawry's cuz it is AWESOME!  Make sure whatever seasoning you use, it has to be while they are still wet with grease.
