On a day off prior to another (for July 4) the last thing I wanted with a dinner invitation was a dress code. Luckily, two of the coolest people I know shared this sentiment and suggested I come over early evening in shorts and no makeup. This turned out to be a fantastic night. Good friends, great conversation and of course (at their house) unforgettable food. Smoked ribs and brisket. Fresh coleslaw with spice and blueberries-- homemade white bbq sauce and an appetizer of fried coconut shrimp were all part of the mix. Dishes were casual but elegant-- garnished with bunches of fresh herbs just picked from the earth-- and I even got a take home bunch of basil and mint for my own cooking needs tomorrow.
Thanks Susan and JT-- your sublime cooking and hosting skills always make me smile...and make every day feel like a holiday!
