Lovely, lovely pork butt
at $3.89 a pound
All marbled and sexy in that glass case
How can I resist you?
Cheap, porky fatty goodness
I had to take you home with me
But what to do with you, all raw and tough and full of cartilage...
I contemplated the best way to bring out
the tenderness I know you have in you
I gently coated you in Worchestershire
Left you to sit for 30 minutes
And then I covered you and set you in the oven at 200F to keep you warm
And I'll bet you thought I forgot about you
Because I left you in there
For 7 hours while I ran errands on a Sunday
You should have known I would never do that to you!
You had a long time to soften up in that nice warm oven
And hot fat bath that pooled around you
I gently lifted you out, freed you from that bone
Shredded you and tossed some Sriracha on you, just to wake you up a bit
And you, you were delicious.

THAT is an amazingly horrible poem, yet I liked it. :)
I have found my pork usually turns out too tough unless I use the slow cooker. I guess you sort of made your own slow cooker though.
I especially like it with some cinnamon, apples and sweet potato's. Amazing.
Ahaha wow that was wonderful.

Oh hell yeah! You should write a whole recipe book in verse.
I was actually planning to slow braise a boston butt on Monday!!
Rayna--pork with apples is one of my absolute faves! And cinnamon makes pretty much anything better, no?
LHITRW--I think it's good to change it up every once in a while ;)
Matt--I'm going to pop over to your blog and see if you followed through--do you think your poem could top mine in awesome badness?
