The Pig Roast

I attended a pig roast at my niece Mandy and her husband Paul's house in New Franklin (Clinton), OH (South of Akron)!  It's a very nice house!  The living room has Cathedral Ceilings!  It also has five bathrooms!  It's not quite a mansion, but there is room for more development since the lot is five acres!

I came with my sister Maggie and Mike!  The only other person that I knew was my sister Kathleen.  It was mostly Mandy and Paul's co-workers and friends, with a few of Paul's Relatives sprinkled into the mix!!

In addition to the barbecue pork, we had hot dogs, hamburgers, Chicken, Baked Beans, Cheesy Potatoes, Pasta Salads, pea salad, celery, carrots, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, deviled eggs, spinach dip with pumpernickel bread, cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, Rice Krispie treats, and a few other dishes.  The food was generally enjoyable!

After dinner, some of the male guests burned boxes into a bonfire!!  This is something that doesn't happen at most events that I have attended!  It rained, but it was not a torrential downpour!  It was an indoor/outdoor party!  I stayed indoors, though!

I plan to be back for Thanksgiving since it may be held there!  I am still doing some cooking!  Tune in to find out!

Editor's Note (11-29-'13):  When I first wrote this, I had an incorrect city for the event!  I wrote New Richmond instead of New Franklin!  Mandy brought this to my attention during our Thanksgiving dinner at her house!
