So, got up really early to walk over to our polling site with Ms. D. We arrived at 6:25 AM and stood in the drizzle with our fellow voters. It only took about 30 minutes -- we were voters 42 and 43. So exciting to see a line. I vote in every dang election, even the off-time issue elections, and am used to being the only one there.
After my walk home, I took a pork shoulder roast out of the fridge and rubbed it with a dry rub, put it in the Crock Pot and poured 1/2 cup of our friend R's secret BBQ sauce. Turned it on low, went to work.
I called home at 5:30 and asked my Mom to put Farmer Fred's sweet potatoes into the oven.
Then, when I got home, I took some turnip greens and tatsoi from F.F., sauteed them in olive oil and garlic and stewed them for about 15 minutes.
The pork turned out just like traditional pulled pork! I need to get some liquid smoke for next time. We heard about this "cheater BBQ" on the Splendid Table this weekend, and it really works.
Ahhhhh. An easy, balanced, very NC-centric meal. Hub liked it so much he overate.
Back to watching the polls and worrying.
