Pig Roast

Pablo has family in town from New York and Puerto Rico so Saturday he held a pig roast. I know that is what is family does in Puerto Rico when they all get together. This one was at Sheri and Gary's house. They didn't actually roast the pig there. I guess there was some problems getting a spit together. Instead they had the pig roasted at Stewart Meats and then brought it over.

It was interesting to see. The pig was completely whole except for the insides. It still had its hooves, it's head including eyes, ears and teeth, its tail...everything. It was kind of a strange reddish-brown color. I was looking at the pig and wondering if I would be able to eat it or any pig again.

Pablo and his brother started hacking the pig up with machetes! First they hacked it into quarters and hacked the head off. Then they cut the meat off when knives. Somewhere along the way it stopped being a pig and turned into pork. Pork that looked good!

The pork was really good. Pablo's sisters made good rice and there was a ton of other food.

It was a really nice day. The weather was perfect and there was a pretty good crowd there. My mom and dad and Larisa and Ron were all there. Gary's family was there too and Michelle, Bill, Billy, Becky, Andy and Alex plus Ray and Denise. Friends of Debbie's from work were there too.
