WHITE SAUCE

WHITE SAUCE
We had this at Justin & Jenn's house.  Jenn added cooked hamburger and we had on top of potatoes with all kinds of veggies.  My family really liked it.  You could add any seasonings and use this for anything.  Biscuits & gravy, homemade mac and cheese and any kind of soup.  She cooked all her potatoes in the microwave. In a bowl not wrapped or anything.

8 T butter
8 T flour
4 c milk

Melt butter in pot, then add flour, mix.  Add milk and heat on medium.  Stir every couple of minutes and you will feel it thicken.  Add your flavoring: chicken or beef boullion or juice, sausage, cheese etc.  To thin add milk.

We loved these!  Had with peanut butter syrup and melted Nutella (200 for 5 min).  Would be super good with vanilla ice cream.

KALUA PORK
We loved this!  Started it around 11:00 at night and then ate for dinner.  We had with coleslaw and BBQ sauce.  Used pretzel rolls from Costco.  Yum!  My favorite way to eat was with mayo, cheese and pickles on pretzel roll.  Loved it!  Would be so good with potato salad.  Used roast from Costco.  Just used the chunky pink sea salt from WinCo bulk.  Next time I might try saving some of the juice to mix in the meat - it got kinda dry.

• 1 (6 pound) pork butt roast
• 3 Tbsp Hawaiian sea salt
• 3 Tbsp liquid smoke flavoring

Pierce pork all over with a fork. Combine liquid smoke and salt.  Rub mixture over meat. Place roast in a slow cooker.

Cover, and cook on low for 16 to 20 hours, turning once during cooking time.

Remove meat from slow cooker and shred.
