We were at a party that was Mexican theme pot luck.  Three kinds of guac, taco bar with all and I mean all of the fixings, multi salsas, an enchilada casserole, multi types of layered dips, a taco salad with homemade catalina dressing, taco won-ton cups, wings, a potato casserole that was way good, another cold dish that had chicken, some yellowish wonderful tasting dressing and tortilla chips in it - and the sleeper winner for the day - kraut, a can of rotel and sausage, in the crockpot.  Way way better than it sounds!

Sounds like I needed to add my modest goodies to the sagging buffet table. Heavens, that sounds good.

Tonight it's eggplant parm ala Rick.  Which means I add a slice of hard salami on every piece of eggplant.  Side of pasta and some olive salad from the KC City Market Italian Deli, can't remember their name.  But the place smells like it's supposed to.

Man that sounds awesome - It would probably get devoured at the Jigfest.  (Hint, Hint).

Wow. That sounds great. Googled kraut and rotel and didn't see anything. 

We were at a party with lots of good chow. I did meatballs with a chili sauce, grape jelly and mustard sauce. There were smoked wings, a Reuben dip (kraut, corned beef etc.) on marbled eye, queso with sausage, bunch of appetizer type stuff. Didn't hear a second of the game or any of the commercials. Just a talkative bunch. Bailed at halftime for a quiter, less cigar smokey place. ?

Spaghetti squash with olive oil and Romano cheese for dinner. Loaf of sourdough going in the oven right now.

Fry chicken wings after you smoke them.   Trust me. 

Anytime you have something on the smoker, throw on bologna or hotdogs for later

Nope, it wasn't sweet, didn't have the additional tomatoes and the sausage was loose.  Just real simple three ingredients and it was very good.

Last Saturday did another couples cook thing at the KC Culinary Center. On the menu: mesclun salad with raspberry-champagne vinaigrette, speghetti-style vegetable saute, pea orzo with Parmesan cheese, pan-seared chicken with sherry, mushroom and grain mustard cream sauce and bananas Foster.

Again, this was a lot of fun and the food was great. The orzo and chicken were my favorite. Bananas Foster was a little different than the version I've made -- which is butter, brown sugar and rum. Theirs had orange and lemon juice and zest, banana liqueur, cinnamon and 151. Too sweet for my tastes -- but I ate it.

Fun again, here's a few pics. Chef:
