luau, post-mortem: well, the pig in the ground cooking style turned out to be a disappointment - after 8 hours, it turns out our initial temperature was either not hot enough, or we lost too much heat during the process. The pig was not cooked. So we quickly turned to plan b - chop the sucker up and stick her on the grill and in the oven. .... I couldn't help but to feel quite disappointed after all the work and hope put into this thing. But that feeling of disappointment quickly disappeared. I mean, its just a pig, right? Hehe.
