BBQ pulled pork buns

Most days I enjoy effortless meals, ideally the ones I can prepare quickly, so my poor stomach doesn't have to rumble forever.Some foods, however, need more attention, more time and more love...It needs to be looked after...The recipe I'm posting today takes time....a lot of time...especially if you decide to make your own buns and BBQ sauce as well.But it is worth waiting and I assure you nothing tastes better than a slow cooked, home made meal shared with people we love :) And when you shove the meat in the oven there is always time to read a good book(Yes!That's me!)
