Put cooked onion mixture back into the cooker with your tender fork-shredded pork, and either add back some of the juice to moisten or bbq sauce of your choice. Makes tasty sandwiches, a top for nachos, in tacos or enchiladas. Page includes 3-min ‘how-to’ video. Comments offer many DIY bbq sauce recipes. Parental supervision.

Kids love putting things in their mouths! ro*sham*bo are so durable that they can be bent, stretched, pulled, stepped on (they have even been run over and survived!) and bounce right back to shape; even a thirty year old man can’t break them! ro*sham*bo shades come in baby, junior and adult sizes and prices start at $20 a pair. These stylish sunglasses come in many fun designs adorably named after ’90s icons. Safety and quality are ro*sham*bo baby’s top concern so the shades and reusable packaging have been laboratory certified as BPA and phthalate free.
