What you missed

If you were not here for the big bash, you not only missed the pleasure of my company – what’s not to love about the cook, after all? – but you also missed out on on a good time and all of this.

The Spread May 30 2010

Would you like a closer look? Of course you would!

Pulled pork, fresh rolls, roasted vegetables (including parsnips right from Lazy Dogs Ranch!), freshly made bbq sauce.

Smoked pork ribs, broccoli gratin.

Potato salad, grilled bbq chicken, baked beans.

Homemade italian bread, lightly broiled and with a DIY bruschetta mix (tomatoes, onions, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, fresh garlic, basil).

Old standbys: dogs and burgers.

If you’d been here, you could have had yourself a sampler platter, much like this one.

A bit of everything, please.

Not shown, because it disappeared much too quickly: homemade strawberry ice cream and homemade peach ice cream, along with both bananas foster and a batch of toffee chip cookies I whipped up at the end of the evening.

If you were here: thanks for joining us. If you weren’t: perhaps next time.
