Ok, so we almost managed the pig roast at the home of my boys in Ballard for my birthday last year, and I was thinking of suggesting something a little simpler (and Greeker) this year--Hey, Pete, can we roast a whole lamb in your backyard for my birthday this year?
And now it appears there is a device we can purchase that will simplify and shorten the process. A Cuban Chinese box. The New York Times article describing this remarkable achievement in culinary technology explains the origins of the name, though I have to think there is some correlation between the name of this item and the fact that for some reason, Cuban restaurants in the New York area are always Cuban-Chinese hybrids. Whatever. Now we can slow roast whole animals on a regular basis! Who wants to go in on one with me?
