Not all the gang was there. In fact, many of the usual locals were not there. We met some new people and saw old friends. It was hot, humid and everyone had bug spray because we have had so much rain and now, the mosquitos are beginning to hatch. Food was great! The whole of Skinny's bar was filled with dishes that everyone brought. They cooked several turkeys and put 2 whole pigs on spits in the yard. One of our friends made some great porter beer for all to taste. No worries about law suits or contamination here. In fact, the guy who put Thankspigging together asked, "Since we have no rules here in Coral Bay, I will just ask two favors, clean up after yourself and only take one plate"
We were home about 6:30.
Nathan's turkey turned out fine. Watch your email for what happened to it.
The picture here is of a papaya that has been growing in the yard by the grill for a couple of months. I think someone just dropped a seed - those little birdies, perhaps. Anyway, looks like we will have plenty of papaya to eat. Have any good recipes for papaya?
the pix of the Papiya came out great! I'll post some pix of our Thanksgiving here shortly. Sara and Stu are coming today, so we'll show them the pix.
