This recipe caught my eye because it called for cooking pork in a slow cooker.

Now, we all know that “slow cooker” = crock pot.   And I’m a serious Crock Pot kinda gal.  One of these days I am going to start blogging about Time Management and Crock Pots and Money-saving Food Tips…but not today (and I’m sure you’re all relieved).

In fact, if you have met me and you are under forty years old, chances are you have heard me preach the “joys of the crock pot” and, unless you were trapped at my dining room table, you have run away.

BUT…I will say (ahem) that I don’t know how you busy women (especially mom with small children) out there survive without using a Crock Pot.  Seriously.  You dump all of the recipe (there are a zillion recipes on the net) ingredients–except raw meat and poultry, of course, but you knew that– in the pot the night before, refrigerate it, then in the morning add the meat,  plop it into the cooker and plug it in.  I do a lot of vegetarian stews and soups now, which simplifies cooking even more.

btw, we are supposed to refer to them as “slow cookers” now, like calling Kleenex “tissue”.  I own seven of them.  Not all in one place, of course, but wherever I go I want at least a couple of slow cookers waiting for me.

Okay, now that the long-winded introduction is over,  you absolutely must try these tacos, or at least just do the pulled pork part in the slow cooker and take it from there.  Thank you, Tasty Kitchen!
