Very easy. Boil a couple of cans when you have the time, then keep them until you're ready to make the pies. Like I said, after the "boil", you can make one of these pies in less than five minutes.

No before photos... sorry. It was much to early in the morning to focus my eyes, never mind a camera.

I know people took pics of the glorious finished product. Skin smoked/roasted to dark-golden deliciousness.

I made 3 sauces to go with. A North Carolina vinegar based sauce, a tomato based Memphis, and HOT/Sweet one that I cannot credit. Very little tomato, lots-o-hot.

I was too beat to eat. And right now there is nothing I'd rather do than crawl into my bed, pull up the covers and sleep for a solid 10 hours. UNFORTUNATELY, I still have a backyard of youts. And a hubby who is snoring in the lazyboy.

Snoring guy is the one who said to me yesterday....

"What are you stressing about, everything will get finished for the party."

Oh, sure. The magic party fairy will pop in and take care of it all.

<sigh>

Best Regards,

Wish I had a pig in the ground, some beer on ice and all my rowdy friends were coming over.

Good luck today Rather, look forward to hearing how it went.

The party went... "Most Excellent." Still going on but we old folks have retired to our comfy indoor chairs.

The pig was a work of art. I hope I don't disappoint, but it was pure pork, except for the hickory smoke. I bought large chunk wood, soaked it in water, and lined the bottom of the cooker with it. Topped it with charcoal. After about 30 minutes, Piggins was added to the mix. Placed her on top, shut the cover, and went away for 7.5 hours. The smell brought in the neighbors....

After the time was done, we opened the top to view a magnificent piece of pork, golden roasted. Popped on a pair of sunglasses and moved it to the carving table.

All that we added to this porcine pile of pleasure was three home made sauces. On was Memphis based.. a Neeley <ugh> recipe. Another.. North Carolina vinegar. The third was just HOT. Red pepper flakes, Texas Pete Hot Sauce, chipotle hot sauce... some sugar, some vinegar and a smattering of tomato paste.

The pig? Perfect.

To that we had "baked beans"... but they were in a crock pot. Old family recipe... bacon/vinegar/onion/brown sugar sauteed. Add to cans of kidney beans and butter beans. Oh and a couple cans of B&M baked beans. <lol> So it's a cheater recipe.

Cole Slaw. Yes, cole slaw. You people guilted me into it. No respecting pig roast would not have cole slaw. It was offered for sale at the butcher when I picked up the pig. :)

A wonderful tortellini salad of my own invention. Fresh cheese tortellini, roasted red pepper, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes and spinach dressed with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, S&P. Yum.

Barely cooked green beans tossed with an olive oil garlic *infusion*. Cold.

Token hamburgers and hot dogs that were mostly thrown out at the end of the day.

But I must tell you... I am beat. I am too old for this... :mega_shok:

Wow.. that is PERFECT!

Of course the cans would stay.. they're canned!

Evil MIL comes over for supper and asks...

"Did you make this?"

Why yes, yes I did.

(Do you have a witch smiley?)

Married for a million years and the woman still asks, "Did you make this?"

Yes, biatch. I did. I always do. I have since the first day you met me. I ALWAYS cook from scratch.

Thinking KFC for Christmas dinner next year. Do I hear a Yay?
