Third annual St.Kitts Pig Roast!
Nommy nommy nom!
Missed the first year of the event (I was at a unicycle convention in Ottawa at the time. While both events were fun, I definitely didn’t want to miss this event a second time ’round!)
Last year it was hilariously awesome. Lots of good food and good friends and good new people to hang around and talk to! Mix in a pretty nice day last year and it was epic. My first time seeing a full pig being thrown. (Apparently the first year included the pig ACTUALLY being thrown, as it was dropped on the ground… stories be told.)
Here’s this year’s event was this past Saturday. Drove in alone, left alone. All well and fine for me. Brought a case of green iced tea as my contribution to the pot luck (I’m just not good with food. Last year I bought a fruit platter) and just started to stand/sit around with the people I knew and some people I got to know better.
This year I also had the chance to do the exploring expedition with some friends, missed out on it last year. It was fun & exciting. I had some awesome photos of the graffiti under the train tracks, the tracks themselves, and the river, as well as some guys we met up with (that everyone else met up with last year). I also acquired a rusty railroad spike (which I already seem to have misplaced somewhere in my car.)
Then there was the swine. Nommy nommy swine. I ended up with two bun’s full. The first with just a dijon mustard (which was surprisingly awesome. I normally dislike mustard in all forms) The second I included a cheesey mac salad in with it, which was messy, but good fun. Badur added some coleslaw to his second helping which also looked amazing.
The summer time gatherings are always fun. I miss the old days when it was a regular occurrence in the Toronto area, before my main source of such gatherings moved away. *sigh*
Here are a select grouping of photos from the event. I’m just linking to my flickr account, so you’ll be getting transferred over there when you click any one of those thumbnails!
