Kymberly and Leah's Couples Hawaiian night

 Directions for roasting a pig:

By a whole pig from Costco.  Thaw and cut down into skin layers and shove cloves of garlic in there.  We also injected a salt solution.  Brad built a refractory brick oven outside instead of digging the traditional roasting pit.  He babysat the heat all day long!  It was really fun!  We served the chicken with rice and extra teriyaki sauce from Mo' Bettah.  Kymberly also served melons and Hawaiian Sweet Rolls.  Leah brought bacon wrapped pineapple bites and Hawaiian bread pudding.
