I served this with white rice. Oma makes a marinade very similar to this for her ribs. So it tastes very Korean like to me, but you could serve it with any side you like.
Easiest Pork BBQ Roast

We are (almost) homeowners!
A much anticipated update has arrived! Dan and I will be homeowners on July 16. After 1 month of negotiating with the bank (more waiting then negotiating!) our offer was accepted! Yay! The move in day is August 9. We would move sooner but with my actuary exam and weddings, the weekends just won't allow it. Here's a pic of our lovely new abode...
As all homeowners must do, we bought our first tool for the new house:
On May 10 Erin and I ran in the River Bank Run, the 10K which is 6.2 miles. We did very well for our first race. My goal was to finish in under an hour, and I finished in 56:51. Woohoo! Here's proof. I am on the left side in the front waving my hand (wearing a maroon long sleeve shirt).
Proof of my excellent running abilities:
(That's me halfway behind the guy).
Lacey - I'm working on a post with a whole bunch of yummy recipes that I've tried lately. You asked for some on your blog, and I will get those up someday! :)
