I am a productive little pixie these days

[cpolk]

I had a thawed pork shoulder and a broken oven.

So i got out a bowl and made a spice rub. I didn't measure anything. I just dumped in a whomp of garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, mantreal steak spice, paprika, sage, and terragon for kicks.

then I browned and seared the houlder in a frying pan on all sides. I used a slightly higher than medium heat to do this.

I dumped the leftover rub in a dutch oven and splashed in some worchestershire, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, a splash of sauterne cooking wine, some crushed garlic, and a bit of water to stretch it out. I might have an inch of liquid in the pan, probably.

I put the roast in fat-side down, covered, and simmered for an hour before testing with a meat thermometer. I think it took three hours.

and it turned out great.

oh yes, and

This might possibly be my most prolific month of writing ever. let's see how far I get.
