IT WILL WORK....trust me!

The other night Mara & I went shopping so we could be creative making some Christmas gifts and returned home to this "thing" in the kitchen covered up by a towel. Curious to see what it was Mara went to go uncover it. Soon after I hear this chuckle saying, "Sister, come here....look what he's done." Well, needless to say my chuckle followed closely after. We both tried to convince Alf that it wasn't going to work. It went downhill from there. Finally, at about 10:30 we had convinced him to "cut off the top" and get the lid to actually sit on top of the crock pot COVERING the top of the Pork. He worked for at least 30 minutes cutting the frozen piece of meat with an electric knife squeezing what he could down into the crock pot. I looked at the lid and told him I thought he had the top of a Pyrex dish and sure enough he did....so then went the hunt for the correct lid to place on top of the completely squeezed crock pot of pork. "Trust me," he kept saying.....well, the next day, Mara wakes up to go downstairs to the lovely barbeque smell in the kitchen of sauce and pork juice dripping all down the dishwasher and onto the floor. "Trust me" still rings in my ears....I do have to say it sure did taste good so maybe that's what Alf was trying to get us to trust him in. As Mara and I continued to chuckle at him the whole next day I began to encourage Alf as I do the teachers with the kids at OLC.....it's ALL ABOUT THE PRODUCT NOT THE PROCESS THAT COUNTS!
