I'm a bit late on the blogging, but I thought you should all know that we had a fabulous pig roast on Midwinter's day here at Palmer. We all got dressed up and set the galley up for some fine dining.

A few of our handy crew were able to rig up a fancy pig turner out of some belts and a carpenter's drill so we could chill indoors and watch the pig turn through the window.

It was truly one of the finest meals I can remember. Kudos to the chef who once again was able to make me eat far more than was necessary or intended.
Happy Midwinter's Everyone!

Fantastic post! I have to ask, where do you find fresh vegetables and a pig in Antarctica? I love the pig turner and the photo of everyone!
ReplyDeleteWe actually have several pigs down in the freezer from what I hear. One can never have too many. We actually do pretty well with stored food down here. The difficult items are fresh fruit & vegetables (freshies). At Palmer we're lucky in that we usually have ships coming and going so our supply never runs too low. Our last delivery until the end of the season was late June though so we might be running low come September.
