August 31, 201115 yr comment_467213 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 Report
August 31, 201115 yr comment_467215 There was as much porkyness as there was goodness... thanks for the picks Peter Report
August 31, 201115 yr comment_467216 Good Company, Good Food, Good Times! You've really managed to capture the porky Mayberry vibe. Report
August 31, 201115 yr comment_467233 Nice pics, better food and even better company. Who needs anything else! Report
August 31, 201115 yr comment_467259 Wow, looks like a great time and even greater company! Wished I lived in Cali sometimes Report
August 31, 201115 yr comment_467279 Porkalishiousnessfest! Can only be said without smpling some of Mikey's wares. Looks like you guys had a ball! Report
August 31, 201115 yr comment_467288 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. Report
August 31, 201115 yr comment_467290 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.

August 31, 201114 yr comment_467317 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? Edited August 31, 201114 yr by swt61 Report

September 1, 201114 yr comment_467488 Wow! Chocolate, pork and some of Mikey's fine spirits! Couldn't ask for more than that. Looks like a killer time! Thanks for the pic's Peter. Report
