What's going on the dinner table tonight? Do tell!
We are having smoked pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and vinegar slaw with cucumbers and dill. . . all homemade of course. We smoked the pork shoulder overnight and let it rest in a cooler (which also maintains heat) today but it actually was still a bit tough this evening. Guess it could have benefited from a bit longer of a cooking time.
No worries though! I just cut it up so it would fit into my Instant Pot and gave it a 20 minute cooking time. It will definitely be shreddable after that! 
The slaw is a new recipe that I'm trying from the Smitten Kitchen cookbook. The mac and cheese is one I've made a zillion times and adapted from Paula Deen's Creamy Mac and Cheese recipe. I don't particularly like Paula Deen, but I do like the mac and cheese that I make based off of her recipe and the squash casserole that I make based off of her Cheesy Squash Casserole recipe.
In any case, that's what's going on the table here. What are YOU having? I want to know!

Tonight we're having london broil on the bbq with sides of corn on the cob and zucchini (everything on the grill). I bet Paula Deens mac & cheese is yummy.
