Pig Roast a big disappointment

I don't know. Last year we served 201 and so hoped for and prepared for 250 this year. Served 168. 5 gallons of potato salad and 4 gallons of cole slaw left over! And enough baked beans still on hand to sink a ship. Will try to sell off what we can in the morning but we'll never get rid of that much stuff. Weather too nice today I guess. Not much pig left but I sent some of that home with the guys that worked. They took the other stuff, too, but not enough!

The good news? I worked off all the calories I ate I'm sure. On my feet moving for 4 hours. At least I hope I worked them off. Lot of calories in potato salad!

That is true, but potato salad is worth every calorie! And I imagine you did work it off with all the running you did today.

I am sorry you did not have a better turnout. Nice weather will do that, though. Was there anything else going on in the area tonight that may have tempted some people away?

By the way, I wish I could have come to the pig roast. I actually have been thinking of carnitas all day. Maybe your mention of the pig roast got it in my mind. Anyway, I am surviving here on ww toast and pineapple. I have other stuff but none of it is appealing.

Dad, what a disappointment about the pig roast. Of course, we weren't there this year so I'm sure that messed you up. I hope you keep doing it because it is fun. AND, it is novel. I mean, really, the men? I love that.
