Corrected.

I don't think the pigs had any fun at this party.

Whole hogs roasted on a spit sounds good.

For those of you who don't know what's going on, during my recent visit with Lancer, I thought it'd be a cool idea to build a vacation house near Lancer's new place. Teresa's been canvassing the neighborhood, looking for a suitable place for me to build.

These are the first pics of a place she's found.

I have concerns. The place where my future house would stand looks to be only about 2-3 feet above sea level. Lancer's place has a seawall that's, what, 6-8 feet high? When the big waves hit in July, I think this place is going to be getting flooded.

Also, it's hard to tell what the boundries are. Do we know how long and wide the property is?

Where are the pictures? On the bright side raising land 2-3 feet should only cost a couple of thousand, maybe less since labor is cheap in the third world. Failing that a sea wall should cost $5k or less.

I'd love to have a beach house though the Philippines is a bit far away from California. Central America would be nice though my preferred location, Coast Rica, has recently been over run by Yankees who have driving up the cost of beach front property.

Happy Birthday Lancer Hope you had a great day, and those pigs look awesome on the spit.

Zkrib buddy, your call. This property looks alot better than mine did before we started work. You say a couple feet above sea level and that's true. My property was being eaten by sea level. Your property will need less cubics to fill. You saw mine when it was almost finished, not when it was destroyed.

Yours is better than that.

Pigs on a spit and my honey.

The guys roast the pigs...

I wouldn't want to be a pig on that island.

The ladies set up bingo and played long hours...

You just don't see the pigs that go to the US pig killing factories. Being a pig anywhere is a bum deal.

People having fun.

That's why I never eat pork of any kind. I got turned off of it when I was a kid.

Nice pictures.

[Lancer]

Sho carving the first pig while I look on and give absolutely useless advice. Alot like my Poly posting...

[Dinner]

Nice pictures. BTW will you guys finish those walls with some stucko? It would really add a finished look to what is no doubt structurally sound walls.

Thanks. Pig skin is really good. No, I mean really good. Good. Roasted like this it has a wonderful taste. The skin vanishes quick.


The guys continueously turn the pigs for 2.5 hours in the smoke and heat.

I saw a similar performance when a Taiwanese family was making sausages using the pig intestines as the wrapping material. I declined their repeated offers of sausages but I always eat any other food they give me.
