Not for the faint of heart…

Our New Year’s celebration was… interesting?
Chris decided to celebrate the New Year by roasting a pig in our back yard.

To answer the obvious question…

Yes, Californians can be rednecks.

I’m married to one.

In consideration of your gentle stomachs, I am only including photos of the wrapped pig.

Thanks to the neverending visual… I’ll never be able to eat a carnitas burrito again.

They started with a fire...

They wrapped it in banana leaves...

It was circled with foil

And placed it in coals...

They pulled it out 12 hours later

And there was a CROWD...

For dessert?  Brownies with white chocolate piggies!

Reminds of the Luau in Maui. Only thing missing is the leis. Looks like everyone had a really good time. Where’s the pics of the beer?

That is sooo cool! I’ve never heard of pig roasts! And all the people.

Oh and of course….no snow!
