Craig has a very long day today. He's got to drive way up north on his work run, went to bed early and left shortly after 4 a.m. this morning, and probably won't be back until close to 6 this evening, maybe even later. And, he'll probably have to take the caja china back when he gets home as they weren't open Sunday or Monday. Told him I'd take it back if he'd put it in the car and if they'd unload it (after he called them today), but he didn't put it in the car.
We had baked beans done either in the caja china with the pig or in the BGE that he was using to light the coals, not sure since I didn't go out while he was cooking, and cole slaw as sides. He did get a picture of the finished pig, but didn't check to make sure it was okay, and then later found it was extremely blurry. I thought it was really good, very moist and pulled beautifully.
He pulled apart the middle third and back third. I told him I'd pull the rest and I did pull the body part, but frankly couldn't bring myself to do the head, so I wimped out and left that for him. RR, you should have seen it before he splayed it out like in the picture. I tried to look at it as little as possible before, especially when it was all curled up in the box it came in. Logically, I know our meat comes from animals but I'm not really fond of seeing them whole either.
