Another Fantastic Pig Roast
It’s become an annual event. Got an invitation from Fred (Sister June’s brother-in-law) to head on up to Vaughn for the annual Rankel pig roast. Brother Mike picked me up and on the way there we stopped in Mississauga to pick up Sister June & Nephew Andrew. Herb had left earlier to help Fred get things going for the day.
It was a great ride up there - no highway delays. There weren’t many Aquilinas-just Mike & myself. People get so busy over the summer. Oh well, that meant more good food for us! There were Rankles coming out of the bushes-literally! Was so nice to see everyone again. I warned Herb that because of the hot weather I would need some help keeping cool. Presto: he ran a long extension cord out to the backyard and hooked it up to an electric fan. That kept me very very comfortable.
After turning that little piggy on the spit for about 5 hours, everyone was ready to eat. There were many delicious salads (2 potato salads, macaroni salad, pasta salad, green bean salad) to go along with the succulent pork. Then various desserts-pastries & a multitude of fruits along with a great cup of coffee. The time went by so quickly but then Brother Mike & I hit the road home. Amazingly, we made it back in 1 hour & 10 minutes-great time! Thanks Fred & Linda for a great day.
