Iron_Dreamer Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 A huge thanks again to Al and Claire for making such a great afternoon possible. What a double-whammy of cooking skills to boot! And thanks to everyone for coming and making it a night to remember. Claire's lovely blueberry pie cools near an open window Strip after strip of uncured applewood smoked bacon adorns the tenderloin Even more bacon hits the pan...destined for desert Grahame tucks the chocolatey bacon goodness into the deep freeze... ...and proceeds to reap the benefits of being the chocolatier Mikey's high-proof stash isn't taking prisoners Conversation heats up as the bacon cooks (and cools) Ric and Melissa inspect the rig of pork cookery Al and I ponder the smoking of corn Mikey gives Ric a primer on the day's spirits Mmmmmmm.......porky goodness! Al cuts his pork Sun sets over Mayberry Claire cuts the pie as the wave of calories crests And Grahame finally frolics in the fruits of his labor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asr Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Some very fine company indeed, looks like the NorCal contingent was well-represented. Wish I could've been there for what was surely an awesome time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Wow, great stuff Al and Claire! I knew I was copying your bacon-wrapped-pork loin idea, but Peter reminded me that you recently made a blueberry pie too! That one was coincidence because Claire came up with that on her own. I don't think I will be showing her this thread, though, because she would hate that awkward picture of her cutting the pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Pork and booze. What's not to like? Thanks for sharing Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) I knew I was copying your bacon-wrapped-pork loin idea, but Peter reminded me that you recently made a blueberry pie too! That one was coincidence because Claire came up with that on her own. I don't think I will be showing her this thread, though, because she would hate that awkward picture of her cutting the pie. That does indeed look like a great time, great food and really great company! I thought the same of that pic Al. Just a bad angle I guess, because Claire is a knockout. Myself on the other hand, look awkward from all angles. Thanks for sharing Peter. Now where have I heard that line before?
