    Is pulled pork better reheated the next day? -----POLL

    I have found that I like my pulled pork much better the next day. I add cider vinegar, brown sugar and bbq sauce right when it's pulled then I refrigerate immediately. When this is allowed to soak in overnight and is reheated the next day it's soooooo much better than fresh pulled. I must admit...

    Post gallbladder removal diet changes?

    Had my gallbladder removed yesterday and I'm wondering what to expect. I've talked to a few people and the one that scares me the most is my friend who said after his surgery he can't eat any fish now without getting really sick.

It had some montreal steak seasoning on it and it's in a foil pan, in the fridge, soaking in a 50/50 mix of teriyaki and pineapple juice...
