Back a few months ago I promised  Gary a copy of a recipe "I knew I had" but then couldn't find - that is until now!  I just found it!  So here you go Gary, hope you enjoy it as much as we all did! :) Free Slow Cooker Recipes | Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork When I first came across the recipe, I had been on the look out for a Pulled Pork Recipe to try for a while.  But as I said in the blog post, we're not big pork eaters, so the test pilots for this venture were going to have to include my brother, sister in law and their starving teenagers!  I could have packed it up in containers and put it in the freezer, but I love helping my brother out when I can!
