We went to a birthday celebration that was originally supposed to be in a park. Due to the inclement weather, the party was moved indoors. A 5 pound shoulder roast went in the crock pot. I made a double batch of cheese burger buns, scaled at 1.75 ounces for sliders. A little bit of Carolina slaw was made. We thought we'd keep the pork hot and just make a tray full of sliders as needed. You know, check the tray and make a few every once-in-a-while. Well, the first tray lasted about 3 minutes. The second tray lasted about 10 minutes. A 5 pound roast and 30 buns came out just right. We didn't bring any leftovers home. :( One of the ladies at the party asked about my buns (blush). The fact that they were home made got her so excited that she spilled her wine. Ah, so THAT'S what you brought to the party! Good choice - and I can just imagine the scene of flabbergastion (new word! flabbergasticity?) followed by wine spillage... You paint a great picture, Tom! PJH
