this past weekend we went to the much-anticipated fiafia (samoan pig roast) with our church ward! it was great fun. here we are in line for the potluck. not a great photo, but it's the best one i got. no, lucy is not drunk and yes, shane is wearing a fanny-pack. don't even get me started.

yes, it was an authentic fiafia! apologies go out to any animal lovers, vegetarians or PETA activists for this photo, but it was just so cool! this bad boy was roasted on actual river rocks. rumor has it that it was quite the ta-doo to find a whole pig and involved much internet searching.

our friend, joey, from samoa demonstrates the effort involved in extracting coconut milk. i'm really glad they sell it in cans...i can personally guarantee that i would never go through the effort of squeezing shredded coconut to get the milk otherwise.

Loved all the knew updates! You could always venture over to Guam to find yourself a pig. They run wild in the jungle here.
