No photos, but I made my world-famous-at-home Poor Man Pasta, a relic of my university/bugger-all income days, as it's my staple during these wintery days: In a pot, heat some oil and slice in 2-4 cloves of garlic; fry lightly.
Chuck in a 99c pack of penne pasta (substitute with shells, curls, spirals etc), as well as hearty pinches of salt, pepper and chilli flakes too. Once cooked, strain, then pour into a bowl. Cut a small knob of butter and throw it on top, then sprinkle oregano/herb flakes on top. Stir it all through for melty buttery garlicy chilli hot pasta goodness, and you've got enough for at least 4 meals. Shame this question wasn't asked a couple weeks ago, when I made slow-cooked pulled pork with multiple types of chilli, lime, whisky, spiced rum, chipotle, coriander/cilantro, as part of a soft taco/Mexican night with my housemate; I may still have a photo of the feast somewhere.
Your slow cooked pulled pork recipe sounds good, especially given that you can drink the whiskey/rum while cooking :)it's my staple during these wintery days:
Is it already wintery where you are at?
Oh man, that sounds awesome. Saving this comment to make some Poor Man Pasta of my own. The pulled pork too, probably.
That looks great BlackBird, nice work. What kind of beer is that?
That would be a Roger's Ale by Little Creatures; a nice little mid-strength crafty with a lot of caramel goodness to colour/aroma. It's one of the better 'lighter, but not a light' beer to have, without sacrificing flavour.
Also wins points because you fill up on the food before you fill up on the beer! Found a nice little write-up if you're interested:

Thanks, it's a pretty color. I'll keep a look out for it in the states.
