Trial Pig with Friends

It all started the night before as Iggy kisses "Lorenzo" to start the preparation ritual.

Note the 'bilingual' instructions of the Caja China...

Look closely: the "Weight of Pig" is either "01 a 40 lbs" or "41 a 70 lbs"!

Salt and "mojo" are an indispensable ingredient of a successful pig roast.

The pig must be massaged professionally, as Iggy is indicating.

Then, the "mojo" is injected into the pig with the precision that only a scientist can demonstrate.

The pig roast must be done in an area that is comfortable and sunny.

It helps to have a pretty woman do the hard work, of course.

...and good friends to cheer us on!

This picture has nothing to do with the pig, but man-o-man, is he ugly or what?

THIS is what becomes of NeighborWorks America's bags

:-)   a DIAPER bag?

This guy is just mesmerized by the whole experience.

And this guys is trying to explain the whole thing in his nearly-native Spainish

If it is a pig roast, there MUST be dominoes!... And, double 9's at that!!! - none of that double-6 stuff!

PLUS, you must have an experienced dominoes guru to teach others the intricacies of this highly complicated game.

IT'S READY!

The pig turned out so good that people could not wait to start eating it!... So, dig in!!!

<<< This is Mitch's "hand"... 

       He went on to lose :-(

How many people knew that bamboo is the Chinesse precursor to fireworks?

...and a great GRACIAS to all that joined us!
