I don’t even know who I am anymore.
I know.
Maybe my whole life before now was a lie. Maybe I just thought I was a non-working-in-the-kitchen housewife.
Is this real life?
A few weeks ago, I was at my sister’s house where she and my mom cooked up what I thought was an intricate, difficult, 26-1/2 ingredient linner (lunch/dinner) of Asian Pork Wraps.
We all, including the whiney children, fell over ourselves nomming up all of the wraps, leaving me to feel like the inadequate housewife I know myself to be.
Except, what they cooked up wasn’t intricate and difficult, nor did it have 26-1/2 ingredients. It was all a ruse. A delicious, delicious ruse.

The Asian Pork Wraps were actually made in the crock pot and had exactly 4-1/2-ish ingredients:
The Easiest Crock Pot Asian Pork Wraps EVER
PORK
4 lb. pork butt
1 jar of Kikkoman’s garlic and green onion teriyaki sauce (dump about 2/3 of the jar into the pot)
1/2 small onion, chopped (or some sprinkles of onion powder)
sprinkles of garlic powder
1 cup of water
Set it (for 7-8 hours on low), and forget it!
Remove hunk o’meat from pot, pull apart with 2 forks, add in remainder of teriyaki sauce to taste.
ASIAN SLAW
Whatever your grocery store has in a bag for Asian Slaw.
Mix.
WRAPS
Romaine or Bibb lettuce.
Pile on sauced pork and mixed Asian Slaw.
Nom through the moans of ecstasy, having heaven in your mouth.
Patrick basically humped himself eating most of it up last night. He likes to add some heat with Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
, but not me because I’m a weenie and like things with about as much bite as a toothless baby nibble.
And that Sriracha sauce? I’m pretty sure Patrick will be bring it into our marriage bed the way he’s fallen in love with the stuff. I just hope he doesn’t think he’s putting it on me in any delicate areas. Heat rash just doesn’t belong in some places.

I’m not the only one with some love for the sriracha! No, it will remain out of the bedroom, it doesn’t belong on skin. Silly.

It doesn’t belong in my mouth either. Jus sayin’.

You should probably just go ahead and come to BlogHer Food.
Can you imagine the stares of disbelief if that ever happened?
And those would be coming straight from everyone in my family.
Goddammit, you’re hilarious. P.S. Sriracha, albeit a sexy condiment, will stain sheets. Don’t ask me how I know.

That’s good to know.
You know what other foods stain sheets? I have no idea because I’ve never had food in my bed, YOU MINX.

If you start cooking fancy seeming dinners all the time, my people will expect me to do it too. So stop or start delivering to Snoqualmie , Wa.
PS. Feel free to add some of your Mama’s pecan pie to my take out order.
YEAH, RIGHT. Like I’d make extra and take the time to ship it across the country. I still have my niece’s birthday present sitting on the counter and her birthday was over 2 months ago.

S’ok. That was just a weak attempt at your mom’s pecan pie anyway…
We just got a crock pot a few months ago. I seriously love it. Have no idea why we waited so long to buy one!

Bookmarked! Looks totally do-able, and nom-able.
My husband likes quite a bit of Sriracha, himself. I like to just dip my fork tine[s] in, then have a whole bite of food with it. Flavor without OMG hot.
