I'm easily persuaded by a good sale on Boston Butt pork shoulders, and the timing last weekend was perfect since Saturday was a great gathering of seven for Collins Against Humanity gametime, then dinner, and then a movie night upstairs featuring Barbie. Overnight slow cooker Cuban Lechón Asado, boosted with my homegrown Mexican chipotle street taco BBQ sauce, was the star attraction. The very popular avocado cilantro lime sauce was slathered freely onto homemade burger buns that came out mostly all right, and the Mexican coleslaw was full-flavored and spicily soothing.
I really have been tickled with how wonderful this burger bun recipe has been, with consistently outstanding results and without a lot of muss and fuss to it.
Everybody was required to stick around after the movie so that I could push in front of them that day's fresh-made Meyer lemon bars with a shortbread crust. Lordy, those rascals were pretty terrific. We tackled them with gusto. Since Gern couldn't join us, I don't think he minded Amy bringing one home for his apparent enjoyment, according to this photo she sent later:
