Okay, you've noticed.
Anyway, they came over early and we ate for hours. That's just what we do around here.
We started with homemade French fries:
Next up, bacon wrapped, stuffed jalapenos:
The next course was a mini Southern-BBQ snack, with two BBQ ribs, and a little piece of my fresh, buttermilk cornbread. Christopher whipped up the BBQ sauce, without a recipe, but it turned out perfectly. I'll get him to jot something down next time. We did the ribs in the slow-cooker all day.
Next, was a cauliflower soup. We made the soup the night before, because soup is always better the next day. We then let it simmer, very, very low, all day.
The main course was a perfect combination of dishes: fried chicken, coleslaw, mac & cheese, and baked beans.
Ahhhhh yeaaaah! Talkin' 'bout comfort food.
Then, we had to save room for dessert. That morning I whipped up a couple, including apple pie:
And berries on a cloud:
Well, I'm thinking our guests left full ... and that's always a good thing.
Happy Friday everyone! What do y'all have planned for the weekend?
(I'm southern now, I can say y'all).

Wow, what a feast! All of it looks soooooo good!! That is so cute that this couple has known each other for so long! I have a friend that went to kindergarten with her husband! Just crazy@!
I have a pretty busy weekend ahead of me. Tonight I'm going to a book exchange party and will be bringing a layered greek dip (which is so good!!!). Tomorrow I'm volunteering in the morning, going to a jewelry party in the afternoon and then making/bringing lentil enchiladas and spanish rice to a friend who just had a baby. Sunday should be more low key, I hope!
This weekend for us will include lots of gingerbread related recipes, and perhaps a curry. And lots of relaxation.
This is a great dinner! Michael's also good at making things like that off the top of his head. This is a crazy amount of food, no wonder you all were eating for hours. Those are the best parties. :)
