The Journey of the Hog
Ever wonder what happens when the men’s ministry gets a hold of a hog for 12 hours? I’m looking forward to spending some time with the guys today from 11-1 at Cross Point. Footbal, a hog, and Chris Sanders (former Titan). What more can you ask for?
If you’re in the area come out and join us!
The picture Derek sent me last night.

Neither picture looks particularly appetizing to me, but I’ll be there anyway.

@Chris Nichols, I’m betting on the fact that the pig is going to taste a lot better than it looks!

Ewwww! I like my bacon the way God intended – neatly wrapped in a brown-n-serve package.

Uh…as a Charlotte’s Web lover…I have to say I’m greatly disturbed by this picture. I may have to move to reading Brandi’s blog only. : )
Poor Hog!

Since I’m an AR girl at heart and seeing this poor plastic thing on the grill…it made me sad for a minute. Not really…it was too cute. Y’all have fun!

Uh…Pete…. he’s a little too Well Done.
All I could think of when I saw this picture was Charlotte’s Web. Thanks for reminding me of that childhood memory.
Keep an eye on my Blog–there’s a Pete Wilson inspired post coming.

ICK!!! That’s downright disgusting. However not enough to keep me from eating bar-b-que, but gross nonetheless.

For the record… we put ours on a spit and it rotated… and was much prettier when it was done. I’m a girl from a hog farm so I’m not squeamish, but that doesn’t look like the hog roasts we’ve had!
Then again, maybe that’s why girls aren’t invited. Men are a lot less concerned with the prettiness of their cooked pigs.

Why are all the women the only ones commenting? Are the rest of the men watching football and chowing down on the hog?
Folks…that’s what a real HOG looks like…it doesn’t come neatly wrapped that way from the farm…They have four legs, ears, and eyes…and they squeal when they aren’t happy…

I loved the journey, actually touching the pig was an experience that I will never forget. Listening to Chris Sanders was another experience that I definitely am thankful for as well. A great message.

As a man who truly loves bacon…this almost ruined it for me. Wow. I can only imagine what the smell was like.
And I won’t even get started on the Andy (McConaughey). That was classic. Have a great weekend.
My wife and I should be in the Nashville area soon / hope to check you guys out.

i think i’m going to have nightmares about the smile on the pig in the first picture, and his missing feet… this image is burned in my head… i do love my ham though… but man, that’s…. a disturbing picture in my head

m.steve…some very humorous.
pete, very interesting shot. did you eat the feet too? not to be gross or anything, they’re supposed to be good. i’ve never but have been told of the yummyness-slightly eww here.
i grew up with all this stuff. we raised our own meat & grew our veggies. when i gathered the eggs from the hens and the rooster pecked my leg. he made a great roast chicken for dinner that night. dad was real peeved at him and was afraid that he would peck me again.
my husband is however often bothered by eating pork. he drive the turnpike to and from work everyday and seeing the pigs on a truck on their way to slaughter is tough on him. i don’t like it either, but the critters are here for us to eat.
thanks for the reminder. sometimes i forget that.

ok that’s the grossest picture ever.
and i lived on a farm when i was little and saw lots of stuff kids should never see.
and that picture (actually both of them) really disturbs me
it’s quite reminiscent of the lord of the flies…. hopefully no one put the head on a stake….
i am publicly saying GROSS OUT PETE!!!

The first picture looked promising and then the second picture looked like you cooked the air out of it. What happened? I mean, I thought burnt offerings were done away with.
There is done and then there is whatever that second picture is… charcoal, maybe?
I think maybe you can call PETA even though the animal was already dead for what you did to that pig. The chapter of PETA that I belong to (People Eating Tasty Animals) fainted when I showed them this picture.

Pete- I’m laughing at the comment you left me, but only because I like you ; )
Had an interesting conversation last week in small group about what God thinks of vegetarians….I’ll have to tell you about it sometime.
Please, no more dead animal pics in the future. I beg of you….

Pete,
As the official purchaser of this fine animal, photographer of the photos above, and Bar-B-Q chef that cooked this thing for 16 hours with no sleep, please tell your great entourage of dedicated readers, in your own words, just how good was that overcooked looking, “all of the air out of it”, pig? They have a right to know

@Derek, honestly it was the best pig I’ve ever had. You guys did an awesome job.

@Derek – I hope you understood my post to be in jest… I love a good bar-b-q. Been part of a few myself and have always enjoyed when they have peeled back the skin to show that juicy goodness hiding behind it.
(And if you had some spicy bar-b-q sauce to go on it – all the better!)
Now I am getting all hungry.
