Cookie Cutters

How cute are these?  I will be making alphabet salt dough ornaments tonight.

I went on a search today for a particular fiber to test my patterns and it appears I am going to have to special order.

I am not one to compromise when I have my mind set.  I have touched enough material today, to make my fingers raw and I am just not going to give up.

How stubborn is that?

Patterns are written, but I want to make sure that everyone can find this fiber.  I can see that you can order it on line, but I am insistent about testing it to make sure the quality is comparable and the results are the same. I used a vintage material and it isn't the color I'm concerned about, but the feel of the fiber.  Real important to me, because these will be considered heirloom pieces.

Here is a sneak peak of one in process.  Can you guess what it is?  If you can, in one try, I will give you the pattern for free, but that is only if you guess in one try and within forty eight hours after this post was entered.

In the meantime, I am looking desperately for some speciality shops in Phoenix, and special ordering as well.

I'm a real simple down to earth type of person, and I don't ask for a lot but when I do want something, I want it, and I just won't give up. This very rarely happens, so I like to kind of enjoy the determination when it does.

Tonight I am making chicken cordon bleu.

Ready for a new recipe?

See you tomorrow,

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

These turned out great!!!

Here is how I made them.

Ingredients:

2.5 pounds of boneless pork roast
2 cups of root beer
1-18 oz bottle of  KC Masterpiece Barbecue Sauce

Cut the pork roast into more manageable sizes.  I cut mine about 2" thick and then placed them on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Pour 2 cups of root beer over the pork.

Set your slow cook at low cooking setting.  That is 3 for my slow cooker.

Cook for 6 to 8 hours.

I cooked mine for 8.

Drain the root beer.

Pour in your favorite 18 ounce bottle of   barbecue sauce.

With a wooden spoon mix the bbq sauce and use your wooden spoon to shred the meat by pressing on the meat.

Once the meat is shredded and bbq sauce is mixed, set your slow cooker to 2 for about 30 minutes.

Spoon the shredded pork on buns and enjoy.

I am not sure how many serving this is.  With small buns it served 10 sandwiches and had about 2 cups of left overs.  Depends on the size of the bread you are using.
