But Not Tonight: May 22, 2006; I could show you around the sights.

Also if you do thighs instead of breasts you'll end up with a much more flavorful shredded chicken that doesn't feel like tough string

My pork butt recipe is as follows, I used to do bbq pulled pork but now I just make tacos with them (onion/cilantro/salt/lime on corn tortillas)

~2-3 lbs porkbutt
1-2 jalapenos, diced
1 medium onion, diced
4-6 cloves of garlics, I leave them whole because it just breaks down and gets mashed, you can chop or dice if you want
oregano (maybe a tsp? gently caress I don't know I never measure my spices, just kinda go with what works)
cumin
couple of tsp of salt (once again I'm hosed on measurements, wing it)
a few squirts of whataburger brand spicy ketchup OR a small can of tomato paste
a beer (I really prefer lagers for this, I don't like the dark stouts and stuff in it)
enough stock/water to cover the porkbutt

cook that poo poo on low for 8 hours, pull it out (seriously all of it, the onions and jalapenos too, just leave the juice in the crock pot), shred it, eat the gently caress out of it, and then use the juice in the crock pot for some kind of soup

Super easy. Buy a bag of green peanuts and start them on low. Add salt or seasonings to taste. Come back about 16-24 hours later and they're done. Best part is when they cool I put them in ziplock quart bags and freeze them. That way I have boiled peanuts throughout the winter.

I usually just do them in a pot the regular way but I think I'll probably try this for a much easier time. I had no idea that they freeze well, that's also good to know.

boiled peanuts are literally the best drinking snack ever

I don't even know why you'd eat peanuts roasted and salted. there are so many better nuts to eat that way - cashews, sunflower seeds, idk

I guess if you like the muddy peanutty flavor sure, roasted peanuts are alright

but boiled peanuts - done correctly (lots of salt, some cajun spice) - are the loving poo poo. chomp into a flaccid shell, squeeze out a rich nut right into your mouth, salty brine going all over the place. I mean goddamn. it's where it's at.

I probably use half a shaker of tony chachere's (MP's probably going to call me a loving idiot for this but it's easy enough "cajun seasoning" for me) and nosh the gently caress out of them after a few beers

literally the best beer snack ever and if you think they're gross you haven't had enough beer

I make chili in my crock pot and it turns out awesome

Also i imagine using a dutch oven in an oven for hours heats up your house and uses much more power than a crock pot does. I do not want my oven on for several hours in the middle of the day in Florida because my AC is already working too hard

well you imagine wrong because you're not gonna blast that thing all day (just when you sear it on the stovetop), and then turn the oven on low because that's how braising works

I do this often enough and I live in Texas so what now :colbert:

also gently caress you for making chili in a crock pot

Pretty sure the lack of liquid is what did it. 1 cup of liquid is not enough to braise a 2 pound pork butt.
