The WDEA (Washington Division Employees Association) Annual Picnic was at Megan and Alan Hall's house in Shelton. We, the WDEA Presidency, decided we should mix it up and have a luau instead of the standard picnic. We've had a few employees that have worked in the Hawaii Division Office, so they had some great insight and recipes for the occasion.
I was asked to make Kalua Pork, a pork roast that you shred and serve over rice. I was a little concerned with this responsibility because it was the main dish, but it turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself. The recipe can be found below.
4-5 lb. pork roast (shoulder or rump)
1 T Hawaiian sea salt
1 t worcestershire sauce
1/4 c soy sauce
2 t powdered ginger
2 t crushed garlic
1 T liquid smoke
a splash of teriyaki sauce (my addition)
Mix all the ingredients together and marinate the pork for 1 hour. I cut the pork up into smaller pieces so all the meat could be marinated. Place the meat in the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours (overnight) or 4-5 hours on high. Shred the pork. It's delictable!!!
The pictures below are from the luau. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pics of Michelle or Kole. So sorry...
When we got to the house I thought that it was on a lake, but I guess that this is actually part of the Puget Sound. Either way it was a gorgeous place for a picnic and the temperature was perfect!

Trying to get a smile out of Kamden for a picture...
The only thing Kamden wanted to eat was watermelon...I guess he comes by it honestly.
The only thing Kamden wanted to do was throw rocks in the water.
Bryan was very enthusiastic about having his picture taken.
