Timeline of a Meal

7:35 am – Take pork roast, fresh (not hard) apple cider, one dark beer, and one apple out of the fridge.
7:37 am – Get out the big damn slow cooker
7:40 am – quarter & core the apple
7:42 am – Put everything in the slow cooker, set to high for 6 hours
1:30 pm – clean 1lb fingerling potatoes
1:35 pm – clean and slice in half 1/2 lb Carrots
1:40 pm – clean and chop up lb sunchokes
1:50 pm – throw all that in the slow cooker with the roast
1:52 pm – for the hell of it, add in about 1 tbl fresh chopped ginger
1:55 pm – half a large onion in quarters? Sure, let’s add that too
1:57 pm – Set to cook on High for 4 more hours
5:50 pm – Pull it all out of the liquid, separating the meat from the veg
5:55 pm – Serve with the cooking liquid as a sauce or gravy. Salt to taste

The meat just falls off the bone, and the veg is JUST RIGHT. Oh and the flavor? Lovely stuff.
