This was a smash hit with friends and family: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/slowcooking-in-the-summer-heat-121376.

What I didn't do:
4 chipotle peppers (canned or dried)
1 cup tomato juice

What I did different:
I used an entire head of garlic
I used the juice from one orange - not sure if it was the entire cup

What I did new:
I added 5 bay leaves
I added 2 poblano peppers (I just threw them in the crockpot)
I added chili powder maybe 2 tablespoons (1 in the crockpot and one later when crisping in the oven)
I added a bottle of beer (I happened to use Sierra Neveda Pale Ale, I would opt for a light beer).
I added some chicken stock (let's call it the equivalent of 2-3 bouillon cubes into the crockpot, mixed with a 1/2 cup of water to dilute)
I squeezed the juice of 1 lime over the pulled pork before crisping in oven
I added 5-6 dollops of the pork fat to the top before crisping in oven.
Salt right before crisping

Going to Paris this summer and plan to take a class!

So I have this same exact pepper mill. It does the job just fine, but it does leave a bit of debris after itself and I feel like I'm constantly tightening the top. I like the grind and have never tried to adjust. But for the price, I won't complain.

I'm a PROUD Gaucho (El Cerrito High School). Aren't many of the schools in Alameda in danger of closing... El Cerritov HS has a gorgeous brand new building to welcome students to. The education is lovely too.

On a more design note, the city has some great bungalows and the hill areas boost some great views of the Bay. Literally views of both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges that are simply stunning.
