Come Saturday, There Will Be Pig

Saturday's family reunion will feature--as any family reunion should--great food! I'm thinking specifically of the pig cooked at my uncle-in-law's barn. The beast will go on the cooker before dawn, and by the afternoon we'll be picking for sandwiches--white bread and pork and a sauce made of vinegar and tabasco.

In the mornings, the aunts will make cheese biscuits and chocolate sop--a biscuit with extra sharp cheddar cheese baked inside and a bowl of dark chocolate sauce to dip it in!

What a weekend!
