Labor Day Feast

"Let's have a dinner party."

"Oh! I'll get the tongues out."

"...and the liver..."

"...and the pig's foot."

This is how conversations go at our house on the weekend. We pull a bunch of crazy stuff out of the fridge and get cooking. The pigs foot was boiled in a vegetable & white been soup, then rubbed with spices and barbequed, and finally dropped back into the soup pot for a later meal. But we ended up using the other things we pulled out of the freezer for a fantastic, fun, impromptu dinner party that lasted about four hours and fed sixteen people.
