I imagined Garrison Keillor reading this and fell asleep about two hours in. Although the ingredients list was pure poetry, if you wanted to hear poetry read by a bloodhound caught in a bear trap.

I just tossed a bottle of ketchup with a 2006 expiration date. (Got buried waaay back on a top shelf.) Maybe I shoulda hung on to it - it already had the color of BBQ sauce.

No molasses?

Here's another great "life hack." Cook a pork shoulder roast in a slow cooker with Coca Cola and a little chicken broth. Must not be diet - Pepsi doesn't work either. Go with regular Coke. When the pork is tender enough to tear apart with two forks, put the sauce in a frying pan and reduce by about two-thirds.

This directly conflicts with the life hack that tells you to pour coke down the toilet (to clean it).

Actually, it doesn't. I think the Coke breaks down the meat. When you eat a pulled pork sandwich made like this you probably get about a quarter cup of Coke.

Well, I think you could add the dijon to this. Just do like Catholic post-communion clean-up where they pour the cleaning liquid from one vessel to the next.

The mayo is another story altogether . . .

Throw some hot peppers in the slow cooker at the beginning, and squirt some lime juice (or just a little vinegar) into the sauce after you've reduced it.
