Cookin Wit Coconuts! or Dat Swine Flew!

So Crabdaddy had a pretty normal weekend. Crabmommy spent the weekend wit her friends so Jellyfish came over to keep Crabdaddy company.

There wasn’t much food in the Crabshack so Crabdaddy & Jellyfish run down Friday afternoon and picked up 7 pizzas. We figured dat would get us through the weekend witout cookin.

Well Friday night Re-Re- and Ya-Ya come over and we all havin pizza and beer and we got to talkin and everything and the subject come up bout cookin stuff. And Jellyfish say he saw this TV show bout how to cook a pig in a fire pit. And he tells us how to build the pit and line it wit hot coals and rocks and stuff then you put in dat piggy, cover it wit some stuff and let it cook for bout 12 hours or so.

Well, we had enough beers to where this sound simple, so we figure we start early Saturday.

So Saturday mornin Jellyfish tell Re-Re and Ya-Ya what exactly to do to build the pit and start the fire while Crabdaddy and Jellyfish go get the pig ready at Jellyfish’s house.

Now here where our plan hit a snag. Jellyfish knew you can’t use river rocks in a fire pit. You really not supposed to use any rock dat has been under water cause it might blow up if it got any water inside it. So Jellyfish tell the boys to line the bottom of the pit wit coconuts instead. He figure coconuts will burn and the milk inside dem will give off steam to keep the piggy moist as it cookin. (Crabdaddy was not around when Jellyfish explain this to the boys you understand. If he had been Crabdaddy might have picked up on this flaw in the plan. )

So anyway, few hours later Crabdaddy and Jellyfish get back wit the piggy. The fire in the pit ready so we put the piggy in, cover him up, and the 4 of us sit back on the patio wit a cooler full of beer and high expectations of the meal we gonna have.

After about 4 hours, and a lotta beer, we see the ground kinda raise up a little and hear a kinda muffled sound, but we figure it normal. After all we ain’t never done this before.

We know now it was the first coconut blowing up. It would have been ok if they had gone off one at a time, but they didn’t.

The next sound we heard was about 30 or 40 coconuts blowin up at once.

It blew dat dang piggy outta the pit and up over the house somewhere. Crabdaddy never knew a coconut was so powerful. (Homeland Security may wanna look into this coconut threat potential.)

So we all run around the house in time to see Crabmommy steppin outa the truck just as piggy landin.

She looked at piggy then she looked at us, then she got back in the truck with out sayin a word and drive off.

I hope she come back soon, we runnin outta ideas and pizza.
