Easter

I hope everyone had a good Easter. Ours was nice. As you probably know I really like to cook and am always trying new dishes. Yesterday I bought an 8 lb. Pork Butt (butt being the shoulder actually, not the swine's posterior) and roasted overnight for about 8 hours. We went to church (Milo was adorable, pics coming soon on the baby blog) and afterwards I made some baked macaroni and cheese with panko bread crumb toping to go along with the roast. I'd say the meal was quite successful (although I'm usually pretty critical of my cooking and looking for ways to make it better next time; the macaroni and cheese needed more seasoning and I started cutting the pork from the wrong side) although it was a lot of food for the two of us. We're going to be having pulled pork sandwiches for a couple of weeks (with bbq sauce and cole slaw ... ohhh yeah). We waited too long inviting friends over and everyone already had plans.

Church was fun. We went to this Methodist place in Sherman Oaks we had been to years ago. We actually found the place a bit boring and stuffy when we first went there but the church we like is so huge they have to hold their Easter services at the Hollywood Bowl and we didn't feel like messing with traffic so we went back to the church in Sherman Oaks. Last time we were there the pastor was an older white gentleman, well in attempt to liven up the place (I'm guessing here) the United Methodist Church had replaced him with a young black pastor. The congregation had a lot more color and the service was fun and lively. Quite a change from last time.

Here's a pic of dinner, if anyone wants a pork sandwich feel free to stop by:
