Quiet lately...

Hi,

I've been quiet lately... But I've had a great summer! I went to Iceland and Sweden for 2 weeks. Very nice. Got to taste Icelandic food. Icelandic Fish & Chips, highly recommended! Baejarins Bestu Pylsur is another highly recommended place. My son absolutely loved this place. Like my son said, it's like we only went to Iceland for the food! It was awesome. It's nice to have new experiences in foreign lands.

What else have I been up to?

Well, I made my famous meatballs for a potluck picnic at my son's school.

And I cracked out the crock pot to try my hand on slow cooking a pork loin. Total disaster. I burned it. I had it on for 12 hours. o_O

I went to The Fresh Market on Saturday and saw that they had a crock pot with a Boston butt. I asked them how long they had it cooking for. I related to them my experience with cooking a pork loin in the crock pot for 12 hours, and they said that that was way too long. I told them, I thought the longer you cook 'em, the better. I guess I was wrong. I've learned my lesson. I'll cook the Boston butt for only 5 hours tomorrow. If I get around to it tomorrow. I've been meaning to get around to it since Saturday... o_O

No other exciting culinary adventures... until now.
