Although NO ONE responded to my first post about the Bachelorette Party and only one brave person was gutsy enough to say they were coming on my second post (thanks Katie), it was still a big success. 9 girls showed up--2 wardies: Sally and Tiffany; 1 former wardie/former temporary roomie: Genevieve; 1 sister-in-law: Sarah; and 1 sister-in-law's sister: Emily; 4 B-town friends; Katie, Aubrey, Shantaye, and Megan, plus 3 cute little babies--Melia, Jayda, and Crue.
It was super fun to get together and chat and eat and watch the Bachelorette. I'll be honest. I'm really not all that into the Bachelorette, and Ali was super awkward meeting all the guys. (Here's a zoomed in shot of Katie and Shantaye's faces--they pretty much sum up the episode in a nutshell. The guys were so awkward and Ali wasn't making it any better...)
Melia had a lot of fun with Jayda. It was so fun to see Jayda standing and crawling. Melia was pretty mesmerized with her too.
Melia was jealous of Jayda's SKILLZ!
I've had lots of requests for my pulled pork recipe that I made for the party so here it is. My sister Kristy gave it to me and I don't know where she got it, but it really is the easiest recipe ever and smells awesome while it's cooking--your house will be filled with a fabulous aroma all day! :)
KRISTY'S MANGO PEACH PULLED PORK
1 pork tenderloin (I buy the double one at Costco and just use one. But one serves a TON of people, we still had leftovers tonight. Sometimes I cut them in half or thirds and freeze the rest.)
1 cup brown sugar (I think my sister's original recipe called for 2 cups, but it's super sweet with just 1 so I just use 1.)
2 cups Mango Peach Salsa (I buy the Santa Barbara Salsa at Costco. I think the recipe would be fabulous with ANY kind of salsa.)
Stir together brown sugar and salsa in a slow cooker. Add pork (frozen is okay if it'll fit in the slow cooker). Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Shred pork with 2 forks before serving. If you get the Costco pork and cook it fully, it pretty much falls apart on its own. It's super tender and juicy.
Serve on nachos, in tacos, or in a salad. The possibilities are endless and SO YUMMY!

Hey Heath your comment made me laugh! I know I'm a mean mom for posting that pic...but it was too cute. Good thing my hubby doesn't look at the blog, he would probably kill me. Anyway, YES I want to come again and I've been thinking about the glitter toes..everyone I know that has them loves them so if you get enough people count me in.
