I love a good potluck! Tonight we hosted our church fellowship group "Crock Pots" at our home, and it was great! The Crock Pots, a group of 30-somethings, give or take a decade, gather monthly for a potluck. Although we have historically met at the church, we decided tonight to do our best to meet in our homes. It is more comfortable to linger in a home than in the big Fellowship Hall at the church. Tonight we had 14 adults and 6 kids, ranging in age from 8 months to 6 years, in the house tonight. It was loud and lots of fun!
We slow cooked a big pork roast all day and turned it into BBQ pulled pork for sandwiches tonight. We used our standard BBQ pork recipe and it was as good as ever. I did put aside a small dish of pork before adding the sauce so that those in our group who are gluten intolerant could have some. Who knew that BBQ sauce would have gluten in it?!?
In addition to the pork sandwiches, the potluck included two green salads, a Mexican casserole, sauteed mushrooms, and gluten free desserts. Our friends Cherie & Tom and their daughter Katie went to a mushroom festival today and came over with some amazing mushrooms. One variety they brought was called a Lion's Mane Mushroom. Here's a photo I found online of one:
Cherie chopped up this kind of mushroom along with several others and sauteed them in butter with some cheese and salt and other delicious things. Even though the flavor was quite good and the house smelled delicious, I am still not a fan of the texture of cooked mushrooms. Ben liked them a lot:)
