I talked to Bill last night. His Dad is still planning to come.

We talked about the "greens" for the roast (typically banana stumps and leaves). We don't have any yet. The purpose of the banana stumps is twofold. First it provides moisture to make steam that does the cooking. Second, it provides a more or less fire resistant buffer between the hot rocks and the pig. We decided to use cabbages. We will have to see if Costco sells cases of cabbages.

It has been challenging to keep the yard up these days. The hot weather is wilting everything but the weeds. The weeds are growing like crazy.
