My dad, one of 17 in his family, grew up on a farm.
And they would butcher pigs. Dad used to tell me that everything except the pig's squeal was used in the butchering processs. He wasn't the first to share that saying, but its meaning certainly holds true: Nothing goes to waste.
Thankfully, I've taken that "nothing goes to waste" philosophy to my cooking. And it saved me in both time and money this week.
I've never dined at a Chilpotle, but from the buzz in the newsroom it's rumored to be good food.
There's one opening in Springettbury Township next week, and they are giving out free food.
Get in line early, folks.
To be clear, I never liked pork and sauerkraut when I was a kid. And mashed potatoes? Forget it.
But, my husband does and my son likes the pork. Those are reasons enough for making it. And after putting together a cheap and easy meal with pork and sauerkraut, I kind of like it now too. We all have to make some sacrifices. :-)
And making it in the crockpot? Holy simple.
