I've been giving Brad a lot of crap for having RIDICULOUSLY old things in his pantry, but today's insanely old ingredient was special. Why? Because it wasn't his.

What fun things are in Brad's pantry? Day 19.

~2 lbs boneless pork country-style ribs (I bought these.)
~8 oz Trader Joe's pumpkin butter (This was ours. We'd had it FOREVER. Possibly before we moved into our old house -Which was in 2004. It might actually win for oldest thing found in anyone's pantry. Unfortunately, there was no expiration date to speak of, so you'll just have to take my word for it.)
~1 c pecan halves (The rest of the bag that expired in 2011.)
~rice, cooked (It wasn't in its original container, so I have no idea how old it is.)

Add ribs, pumpkin butter, and pecans to crock pot.
Mix well.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Serve over rice.
Spoon leftover juices over rice.
Take 2 crappy pictures before your camera batteries run out of juice. (Oops.)

4 servings.

This smelled AMAZING. It smelled like Thanksgiving in here. You know...but with pork instead of turkey. Or something. It was super yummy and now I'm kind of wishing I had more Stone Age pumpkin butter to play with.

P.S. Hey Brad: I dig your teeny tiny rice cooker. It might sprout legs and make a home in the trunk of my car next to your bowls and the lighting in your kitchen.
