Luau plans so far:
The pig has been ordered. 80 pounder ready for luau with the head on from Dayton Meat Company. I started digging the hole. It is near where the old one was. Ways to go still. I got 4 80" square burlap pieces from Home Depot and some chicken wire. Don't know what we are going to do about sealing the steam in. At this point, the fallback is to do what we did last time, which was to use a canvas painters tarp as the first layer and then put a poly tarp over it. Polypropylene is flammable, but I think if we wet down the canvas tarp first it should be OK. I still need to think up something to use as tongs. We have a friend with treed acreage who said he will supply the wood. The rocks are still in the barn.

DD says he can bring some chairs. Bill, do you have any? I might see if we can borrow some from Richard.

Dirk, Andreas and Rainer are coming to help cook the pig. Andreas is riding his bike out here and is going to set up his tent in the yard. My sister's family will be here then, along with my mother.

Dirk is bringing rice. Alan is bringing drinks. I think there are a couple of fruit salads on the sign up also, but it is at work and I can't exactly remember. DFH is bringing a veggie dish.

I got two cases of beer, and a case of Thomas Kemperer soft drinks and a case of snapples at Costco today.
