Pigfest

Next to her cans of Ensure, there is also a Tupperware container she has ready for me to bring home—a veritable pigfest for my children.

The two days become a virtual pigfest, during which pretty much anything is fair game to eat — Burger King sandwiches, McDonald's fries, Dairy Queen banana splits, all the Dunkin' Donuts holes you want, pizza, chocolate, soda pop, and even sugar sandwiches!

Mom and my dad's sister, Helen, and her three kids, Kristen, John, and Mark, went into town for groceries to make side dishes for our pigfest, cheesy baked carrots and Caesar salad.
