GOOD USE FOR A CHOP STICK

If you are cooking something in a kettle and do not want it to boil over. Take a chopstick and lay on the back side of the kettle and then put the lid down on it. Make sure it does not fall in the kettle. This lets the lid stay on and lets the steam out the back and it will not boil over. I do this when I am cooking pinto beans or green beans.

ITALIAN STYLE PORK ROAST

Mix all the ings. together except the rice and pork. Place pork in crockpot. Pour mixture over the pork and set crockpot on low for 7-8 hours. Or 4-5 on high or until done. 20 minutes before the pork is done cook the rice. Top the rice with the pork and sauce.
