All-Purpose Pork

I call it "All-Purpose Pork" because this just cooks it and makes it super tender, but it can go into nearly any meal depending on the spices you choose to add to it - add some barbecue sauce and it makes great pulled sandwiches, add some pico de gallo and corn tortillas and it's carnitas, chop it up in some fried rice and it's pork fried rice... do you have the idea yet?

1 big lump of pork (either a pork roast or a package of pork stew meat, whichever is cheaper)
+/- 1 cup of orange juice
+/- 1 cup of cola (not diet)

Toss all 3 into a crock pot and cook the hell out of it until the pork falls apart (5-6 hours on low, 3-ish hours on high) - season and/or accessorize it as you see fit.

(not pictured: a lump of pork floating in brownish liquid in a crockpot, cooked or uncooked, it looks anything but appetizing - it's super yummy, though)
