And now to add to the stress level...
When I went to the town hall to get the permit to close the street for the block party I was asked if a reporter from the Hammond Times (local large paper) could call me & do a story on our block party in the Food section
I spent about 1/2 hour on the phone with the reporter. She asked me all about the food we're cooking as well as the pot-luck sides. We worked it out that even numbered addresses brought side dishes and odd numbered addresses should bring deserts. Then she asked about the and I really didn't know what to say. I felt the best way to descrobe the pig roast was to say "THis is my first time cooking a whole pig. In fact, no one on the block has attempted this yet. We're all just going to tget together and collectively gring our knowledge and experiences to the grill and go from there. This is more of a socializaton event than a cook-off. If we destroy the pig than at least we'll have fun trying." I think she was impressed with my answer. They will be sending out a photographer for the party. Man, my nerves are already shot!!!
