Football season is right around the corner, and there's no better time to start celebrating. So, go ahead and throw a few pre-tailgate parties to make sure you and your buddies are ready to tackle the 2014 football season like never before.
Shredded Pork Sandwiches
Cook roast in a Dutch oven that's covered in nonstick cooking spray. First, brown each side of the roast for about 2 minutes in a pot. Mix brown sugar, ketchup, salt, pepper, water, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and water in a bowl until a sauce is formed. Remove 2 cups of the sauce; refrigerate. Into the remaining sauce, add celery and onion and pour over roast. In dutch oven, cook roast for 5-6 hours; meat should then tenderly fall apart. You can shred meat with two forks. If you prefer, warm sauce that's in the refrigerator and pour it over the pork. Serve on buns. Slow Cooked Roast BBQ Sandwiches
Remove from cooker and shred with fork. Put back in the cooker and pour cola and BBQ sauce in. Cook two more hours. Remove and serve on buns. BBQ Pulled Pork
Remove the roast; put in large bowel. Shred with two forks. Pour in BBQ sauce and mix with shredded pork. Serve on buns. When it comes to buying the pork roast for these receipes, I highly suggest going to Walmart, Kroger or Meijers. I haven't had too much luck out of the meat from IGA.

 School is back in session, and the kiddos are already coming home tired. They sit around for a bit, relax while watching TV or playing video games, and then it's like they get a second wind. Off through the house they go, running, playing hide-and-seek, and jumping on your new memory foam mattress. After supper, everyone gets their showers and starts to settle down, but 10 minutes before bedtime rolls around, you look down to see the little ones asking for a night snack.
Are Bedtime Snacks Okay? Sure, they are. You don't want your kiddos going to bed hungry, do you? Christine Palumbo, R.D. (nutritionist), says, "Assuming [your kids are] eating enough dinner, there is nothing wrong with [them] needing to have a substantial bedtime snack, particularly if it consists of healthy foods. [Your] kids may be about to enter a growth sprout; often times calorie needs increase right before a growth sprout." What Snacks Are Okay? Be aware that bedtime snacks come in many forms and greatly affect the sleep that your children will get. For example, you don't want to feed them a chocolate brownie right before bed. If you do, you might check in on them at eleven o'clock only to see them staring up at the ceiling, unable to go to sleep. Palumbo's bedtime snack suggestions include:
All of these snacks are heavy in protein, which will help curb hunger until morning rolls around and it's time to eat breakfast. And just like your momma always taught you, breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Other healthy snacks that you could give a try include those that are rich in carbohydrates; these foods tend to contain "the natural sleep-inducing chemical tryptophan," which can help children, especially younger ones, settle down before it's time to go to sleep. However, it's best to avoid sugary, processed carbohydrates, as they contain sugar and are likely to keep your kids wired instead of tired. Is There a Right and Wrong Time for a Bedtime Snack? It is highly recommended that bedtime snacks be consumed about 30 minutes prior to going to bed. When eating too close to bedtime, this can sometimes interfere with sleep. Top Tips to Remember Stay away from sugary foods right before bed. In fact, you may want to eliminate them after 5 o’clock in the evening. Remember, foods rich in carbs will help keep your kiddos full during the night, allowing them to get the best sleep possible. And if you really want to provide them with a good night’s rest, cuddle up with them on their memory foam mattresses and read them a nice bedtime story.  Instead of buying homes that have been occupied by previous residents, many people choose to have new homes built for them. Taking this route comes with lots of advantages, including the ability to use customized floor plans. In fact, a homeowner can decide the exact way that the home needs to be constructed, which allows the residence to meet any specific needs that his or her family may have.
It's imperative that all aspects of the building process be carefully considered before any construction starts, and this especially applies to all plumbing-related tasks. Understanding the Plumbing In a New Home Thanks to advancements in technology, there are many types of plumbing that can be installed in a new home. From solar-powered plumbing systems to gas-heated pipes, the type of plumbing that gets installed is decided by the homeowner. It's pertinent to keep in mind that lead pipes have the potential of leaking lead into a home's water supply, which can be detrimental to the health of any residents. Here's an excellent article about lead pipes and the dangers that they can bring forth. Other types of plumbing systems that can be installed in a new home include those made out of:
Importance of Assessing Plumbing-Related Tasks Once plumbing is installed, it's hard to move it; this notably applies to plumbing that has been embedded within concrete. Take, for example, a home that has a concrete basement. If the plumbing has been stubbed out and concrete poured around it, it becomes essentially impossible to move it. It's because of this that the exact locations of the following rooms need to be carefully decided before any concrete is poured:
What does your plumbing look like? If it's a mess, then you need someone experienced to redo it for you. And even if it seems to be operating perfectly, you still need to have it inspected on a regular basis. |
