We had planned a mid-week gathering of five this past Wednesday, but a close contact exposure for one of the couples meant they stayed at home to quarantine and self-isolate. I'd already put in motion an easy slow-cooker meal, inspired by a 99-cents-a-pound special on Boston Butt pork shoulders, plus the ease of overnight cooking...the grand total of that convergence of factors made pulled pork barbecue a marvelous dinner decision. The beauty of it was how easy it was to pack up and drop off at their apartment door so that they were still fed! And a nice heap of Mother's sweet southern coleslaw, to boot! I realize we had just had pulled pork a couple of weeks prior, but what's not to love about this filling and flavorful meal?
