Slow Cooker Pulled Pork I'm new to this whole pork thing but it feels like there's a whole culinary world that's opened up to me.  Naturally pulled pork came to mind instantly when I was trying to decide what dish to the next.  At first I was intimidated but as I researched it, I realized it's so easy!  The crock pot does all the work.  Of course ...
