stevasaurus 22,701 #1 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) My neighbor's daughter turned 14 yesterday, so they had a party. I think they invited Chris and me so they could be noisy and we would not call the cops. We fooled them and showed up. We had a ball, and I was even dancing with some of the women there. I did not take a lot of pictures, but I did get a few before the party started. They made Carletas (sp)...WOW. All the parts of a pig (except the head) boiled in lard with spices that included cinnamon (for color). You put this on a flour tortilla with salsa, beans and whatever else you want...unbelievable good. Check this out... Augustine and Megiel Jose keeping a close eye on the cooker. He has done this many time before. He stirs it with a good sized paddle. I just love Mexican cuisine...and it does not get more authentic then this. I hate to say it, but I pigged out.

stevasaurus 22,701 #4 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) The meat just fell apart, and the ribs were to die for. They even scored the skin and cut it up in small pieces...it was pure fat and melted in your mouth...delicious. Digger...how did the fluid change go?

Ken B 3,164 #10 Posted July 22, 2013 We used to have a neighborhood pig roast every yr. up until 5 yrs or so ago. Roughly 35 familes. We'd hire this old southern gent to do the cookin and let me tell you this, by the end of our party between all the beer I drank and all of that delicous pig I ate I'd go home probably 10-15 pounds heavier! Man I miss it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #11 Posted July 22, 2013 Looks like you had fun! We went to a meal like this, but it was a goat that was cooked. And they cooked ever bit except the skin/hair. The gal sitting next to me had a plate full and I saw an EYE looking back, so I was done eating! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,701 #13 Posted July 22, 2013 Funny you mention the goat thingy. That came up during the conversation...that is supposed to be excellent also. I've tasted a few dishes they have cooked next door, and every thing has been out standing. I think after many beverages, I would probably be trying to mount that eye in the middle of my forehead. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
