mmmm...brisket

Last weekend we attended an amazing food happening. Our friend Steve opened a one night only restaurant where he served up homemade pastrami sandwiches on rye from blue oven bakery. I don't know much about making pastrami but I know it is at least a 5 day process where Steve salt cured the meat and covered it in spices and then steamed it. He also made homemade mustard, pickled green beans and homemade potato chips and rhubarb cake for dessert. Heaven.

A Night at the Races

To celebrate the Kentucky Derby, this year we hosted a small party where we made burgoo and mint juleps and banana creme pie. We watched the derby and then followed it up by watching some classic horse racing films in the garage - most notably the Marx Brothers 'A Day at the Races'.
