    Man it is hot here is WA!!!! We are still seeing days that get up over 40ºC (104ºF) I am not enjoying it! It is hot, sticky and there is no rest from it. Once the sun goes down the air temp doesn't drop and you are going to bed with the thermometer still reading 30ºC (86ºF).

    It is yuck! And I can almost say that I am over summer! I do know I can't wait for the cooler winds of Autumn. The days when the sun is shining but you don't melt the moment you step foot outside. Where you don't spend the day craving icy poles or icy cold beer.

    Earlier in the week both the boys were at school and with 2 hours until pick up, I was so hot I couldn't sit inside any longer, so I took refuge in my car, air con on full pelt! Don't worry I didn't just sit on the driveway, I drove to town and parked up at the local beach. The view was amazing and the thought of the boys and I diving into the water once school was finished was blissful.

    That and I knew dinner was in the slow cooker 🙂 I adore my slow cooker! Now I love cooking winter warmers in it but I think summer is when the slow cooker really comes into it's own. Dinner without heating up the kitchen!!! YES PLEASE!!!

    And this recipe for BBQ pulled pork is a winner as you can serve it with bread rolls, some salad, red onion and you have an instant family friendly dinner! LOVE IT!!!

    The pork is cooked long and slow in a thick juicy BBQ sauce mix, which leave you with juicy flavour packed pork, a sticky juicy sauce and dust on your oven door handle 😉  Just look at the shredded meat, don't you just want to steal a bit!!!

    What is more this recipe makes plenty! So there will probably be leftovers which are perfect for lunches!!! Stuff this deliciousness into a wrap, add some lettuce a squeeze of hot sauce and you will be the envy of the office. Or for kids try adding some lettuce and some sour cream 🙂 Or for some people (no idea who I might be talking about) grab a fork and eat it straight from the bowl in the fridge.... nibble on a pickled jalapeño and call it lunch 🙂

    • 3 tablespoon worchestershire sauce

      Sounds like there's going to be a queue at the fridge! Might have to upgrade the fork to a pitch fork to get my fair share 🙂
