\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last few days we’ve had a little taste of summer, a welcome respite from “Storm Watch 2010” and news of the deep freeze blanketing the rest of the country. \u00a0Walking my little Corgi, Tank,\u00a0 in the neighborhood, the scent of grilling started my taste buds yearning for some good ole southern-style pulled pork. Here in SoCal we’re fortunate to have grilling weather year-round but this recipe utilizes the under-appreciated slow cooker (also known as a “crock pot”) in place of standing over a hot, smoky grill for hours – which isn’t possible if your grill is stored for the winter or under two feet of snow! Naturally, the slow-cooked grill or smoker method is more authentic, and I have done that on occasion, but sometimes you just don’t have the time or inclination to tend the grill!<\/p>\n
