Have You Ever Celebrated Day of the Dead?

Posted by islandexile, October 13, 2008 at 1:40 AM

One of our neighbor's had a gathering last year. She had been in Mexico the previous year and found it very moving and joyful. Now it's my turn to host our friends and neighbors. There will probably be around 30 people. Some of them will bring food. I will do appetizer, main, dessert, and drinks. What I'm wondering about is the main. I think mole is traditional. I, too my great regret, don't enjoy it - not here and not in Oaxaca. I was thinking pork, and I've gone so far as to order two Berkshire shoulder roasts (about 8lb). What would you do with them? Any other suggestions would be gratefully received. ( I'm also worried about finding masses of orange marigolds in the Pacific NW in November!) I really want everyone to have a wonderful time.
