Homecoming Parade: The Homecoming Parade was Friday afternoon. The weather was perfect, and attendance was very good. I took over 500 photographs and will produce a slide show in the next few days and announce it here when it is ready for viewing.
Pig! Yesterday, I tossed a large hunk of pig flesh onto the grill. It was a bone-in pork shoulder. I dry-rubbed it with Pappy's seasoning, Red Monkey Mango Habanera rub, ground black pepper, ground cayenne pepper, granulated garlic, and brown sugar. I tossed it onto the center of the grill. The center burners were off, the far outside burners were on high, and the adjacent burners were on low. Laura and I took turns spraying the pig with a mixture of one part extra-virgin olive oil and three parts apple cider vinegar every 15 minutes. The pig roasted on the grill for four hours. I made ranch-style beans for a side dish. It was easily the tastiest pig I have ever eaten!
