Ode to Ski2Sun

There are few people in this world capable of living life to the fullest like my friend Ski2Sun (of Adventures in Getting Ready fame).

So when I read about the Big Pig Gig at Daisy May's BBQ, I knew there was one person, and one person only, to reach out to.

A quick background -- the Big Pig Gig is a feast designed for 12-15 people, complete with (duh) a roasted pig (head on), and a bunch of sides. As you can see from the blog post I linked to, they just cart out the entire pig and you go to town. Oh, and it costs $400.

Here's how it's described (for those of you too lazy to click the link):


The pig's cheeks were lusciously fatty, the loin meaty and the ribs, so perfect, smoky and so good to chew on. So good in fact, that we couldn't help but gnaw on it until the last drippy drop of meat juice had been sucked out.

Ski2Sun was, as I expected, very excited about the prospect of the Big Pig Gig. In fact, his first response was "You think we can find 12-15 willing parties or you want to just try to do it me and you?"

Two hours later, I get this email: "I have 12 people. We will make a reservation when you get back."

Ski2Sun, I salute you and whatever it is that makes you tick.
