7-18-09 Our Summer Barbeque

BB — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 17:02:46 +0000

We had a terrific dinner last night at Jim and Judy’s house. Ribs, Corn, Shrimp and more!! Jim and Judy’s guest were Ben and Jenn who brought the appetizers which started us off on our summer feast. So our appetizers consisted of some Shrimp-K- Bobs and a unique ceation of Mac and Cheese with Bacon on baguet slices. Very tastey!! Also Jimmy made some of his fried Crab Balls and homemade dipping sauce.

After letting the appetizers settle a bit we sat down and had some salad that the Rinker’s brought. Summer greens and home made blueberry vinegrette dressing.

Next soup that the Browne’s made. Coconut Shrimp Soup. Shrimp cooked in a broth of coconut milk, lime and toasted coriander. A nice refreshing light soup as the prelude to our main dish.

Okay we needed a little rest again so we sat around and chatted a little bit about the book “Cooking Club” that talks about our club and even mentions our names.

A while ago a woman contacted Annette and intervied her about our club. After she wrote her book she sent a copy to Annette that she brough and shared with us last night. Pretty cool.

Okay time for the Main Event. Jimmy cooked up a delicious batch of Ribs with his own barbeque sauce. These ribs were absolutely mouth watering. Sauce was sweet and spicey and the meat just fell off the bones. Some fresh corn on the cob was also served up along with some grilled vegetable slices Anntette and Rink made. Nice!!!

After a couple after dinner drinks Judy brought out dessert. Home made pound cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream. Perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

We missed Mike and Maureen at last nights dinner but we partied the best we could without them.

Thanks go out to Jim and Judy for hosting a nice dinner and also Thanks to our guests, and new friends, Ben and Jenn who as first time guests jumped right in there and added some great food to our meal.

Next Club Dinner

BB — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:11:05 +0000

Well here’s the latest on the next club gathering. Judy and Jim say that their April is filled and they can’t do it till May. Judy put out the dates, May 16th or the 23rd. Well the 16th won’t work because the Browne’s and Rinkers will be doing the annual Camp Jam Festival that weekend. Now the 23rd works for the Browne’s so what does anyone else have to say. As for a dinner out! Maybe an outing with the members that will be around in April?? Any ideas or thoughts on this??

Dinner at the Wert House 6/28/08

Our dinner at Jim and Judy’s is now part of history. We had a wonderful party with great food, a long soaking in the hot tub, too much beer and wine, and lots of laughter. We had an additional guest, Judy’s long time girlfriend Chris joined us, making it a party of 11 with Carol and Gus joining us too.

We started out with plenty of appetizers. Annette and Rink brought some kind of delicious grainy crackers and a chic pea spread/dip that got us all thinking Mediterranian and Chris made a Spanish Tortilla which was a baked potato, cheese and egg dish. Very Mediterranian! Mike and Maureen also brought an appetizer of clams with spicey sausage and white beans.

I could have walked away then but there was much more to come. We took a little break and endulged in some more drink and what not,,, then gathered around the table and had some chilled Sally Browne Gaspacho with some big croutons. Even after all the appetizers this was very refreshing and went down very well. Then we had a fresh green salad that Annette made with some home grown veggies along with her homemade Salad Dressing.

So Now it was time to hit the hot tub. Sally, Bob, Annette, Judy, Mike and Maureen made hot tub soup for a while and really didn’t want to get out but our main course was calling.

Jimmy brought out his entre! A delicious Pork Roast and served us up a Vegetable Paella as a side dish. The pork was so tender and the gravy he made was rich and out of this world. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Good job everyone and Thanks to all!!!

The next one is on the Browne’s and we’ll be looking at dates soon. Until then here’s some pictures from the occasion.
