Mexican Night

I got this recipe for Slow Cooker Pork on www.allrecipes.com by 2obies. It was perfect; I had the day off yesterday, so I put the pork in my slow cooker at 10:00, and it was ready by 6:00. It took me about 15 minutes to shred the pork, then I just put together a "taco bar" and dinner was ready. Naturally, I had to make my mom's famous margaritas. ;)
