This is how my Absinthe Dinner turned into a giant pig roast... Meet the La Caja China cooking box. This is what I gave Dade for our recent anniversary. You see these around Miami a lot. They're used at parties for roasting large, dead things Cuban style. Did I set myself up for my menu to be taken over? Yes. Now all the man wants to do is get a whole pig and start cooking. I quickly realized that Memorial Day Weekend was going to be all about the pork.
We will still be setting up a bar in the barn, and long tables out on the back yard for a sit down dinner. I'm still stringing chandeliers. However... I'll also be fighting people for the pig cheek ala Anthony Bordain. Here is the blank interior of our back barn...
