Slow Roasted Birthday Bash September 19, 2015

My friend Jay prepared a wonderful meal for his wife, me and our long lost friend Mary (from high school).  It was great!


First course: "Soup and Such"
Chilled summer squash soup, chicken cracker, slow roasted cream cheese, Leslie's pepper jelly (yeah, that's me...I made pepper jelly from the jalapenos I grew in my garden and brought it along).
Most importantly, paired with Dibon brut.


Second course:  "Shrimp and Grits?"
Pot likker poached Carolina shrimp, collard pesto, cornbread puree.
Paired with Pine Ridge chenin blanc/voignier


Third course:  "BBQ from the Sea"
Sea scallop, smoked tomato sauce, spicy micro greens


Fourth course:  "It ain't Waffle House"
Seared duck breast, bourbon-sorghum demi.  Scattered and smothered.
Paired with St. Cosme Cote du Rhone




And now for dessert!!
Jelly donut ice cream with a pecan brittle cracker (missing the picture)
Paired with a super delicious five o'cocktail
