We used to go to movie theater every week or two. After Ethan came along, we now watch a movie at home every week or two. And only good ones, means I can no longer watch any B-list chick flicks whenever I want!
Yet, “good ones” do not mean they have to be good. My husband MADE ME watch “Star Trek” last night which I found extremely boring and hard to understand though the creepy look on Spock was fun to watch. Sorry to all Star Trek fans.
What I meant was “My Sister’s Keeper”. The synopsis itself can tell you how tear-jerking the movie was. And I’m a sucker for that kind of movies. I’m not saying this movie isn’t a cheap excuse to make you cry, but as far as cheap excuses go, this one is richly made. The story was so powerful, poignant and believable in the sense that at the end there’s no right or wrong just like what happens in your life. Acting was a key factor too. Cameron Diaz has successfully discarded her comedy label, and I have found a new respect for her talent.
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons coarse salt
1 5-lb pork should
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
Mix dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Rub the spice all over the pork and marinate overnight, covered, in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 300F.
Put the pork in a roasting pan and bake for about 5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
To make the BBQ sauce. Combine all BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat. Simmer and stir gently for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Remove the pork roast from the oven and transfer to a large platter. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. Take 2 forks and pull the meat into thin shreds. Discard fat.
Pour 1/2 of the sauce on the shredded pork and mix well to coat.
To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom 1/2 of the hamburger bun, and top with salad or coleslaw. Serve with more sauce if needed.
