Party on the pier... with the biggest kebab known to man...

Seeing as Courtney is a vegetarian, I was surprised when she came up with the idea of making a spit to roast a bush pig on the pier. She managed to find a welder for the job and in no time at all the spit was stood in her backyard. The spit idea came about when Cathy and James announced that they would be visiting the bright lights of Kerewan for the weekend. It was a perfect opportunity to have a party on the pier. When I say pier, I mean a chunk of concrete that juts out into the river, usually engulfed in the smell of fish guts. Having said that, it is still my favourite spot in Kerewan. It was the night of the party and we had unfortunately been unable to get hold of a bush pig in time (I was secretly relieved as I am not sure the task of getting the pig onto the spit would have been an easy one). We did however have sausages, bacon, chicken breasts and steak. We built a fire underneath the spit, poured some drinks and sat down to watch the sunset. It wasn't long before it became apparent that cooking sausages and bacon on a spit is very different to cooking a bush pig. For one, the sausages were too small so we tried to attach them to the spit with wire which then resulted in the cooked sausages falling into the fire. The fire was also far too low to cook the meat so Nathan and James spent much of the night finding different ways to correct this issue, including raising the fire and physically holding the spit lower. To cut a long story short, the spit was a great idea with lots of potential but in reality was a disaster (an entertaining one though so all was not lost). We kept the fire going and danced the night away until the early hours. One of my best nights in Kerewan so far.
