Mmmmm.

I felt like I should have had a salad with it: too bad I didn't have any packaged stuff (or fresh, even) on hand. Maybe next time?

And my verdict on this meal: VERY TASTY AND AMAZING.

The pork was fork-tender and the potatoes fell apart when I was scooping them out of the pot, actually. The pork was juicy and flavorful (I can't tell you how it tasted, other than "good") and the sweet potatoes were falling apart and stuff and just oh so sweet.

And it's on the plate! I'm not sure how I took this picture, knowing how hungry I was. And yes, that's actually part of a fake plant and was lying on the kitchen nearby. Note that the meal's pretty much just one color...I'll see about adding something else next time.

Oh, bed of white rice. :3

It smelled SO GOOD when I was doing my laundry. I added some salt (less than 1 tsp) and pepper (probably about 1.5 tsp) during one of my rounds to get some of the oi back on top of the meat, since the instructions included basting it periodically.

And there they go! All the ingredients thrown into the pot. I thought there wouldn't be enough broth at first, and was worried about the potatoes drying out or something (hey, it's my first time with the slow cooker, give me a break), and the white stuff on the pork is actually coconut oil (versus the olive that the recipe called for) because a) Paleo says it's better for you (?) and b) there was no more olive oil.
