Pork and Lots of Wine!

All of the good cracking skin!

Pig meets the cake!

The hangover was worth it!

Once more we decided to make a Porchetta from McCall’s Meatand Fish. Nate does all of the work, he seasons, rolls and ages the pork to make this fabulous meat. Pork is my favorite meat, much more than steak. To me it absorbs more flavors and lends itself to interesting preparations. You can get the recipe for the Porchetta from our blog of: Feb. 24, 2014. Click the date to get the recipe. This is a crazy good recipe.

We started with drinks on the patio and served Pureed Beets with Yogurt & Za’atar from Jerusalem by Ottolenghi & Tamimi. This is a great recipe and can be found in our blog of: Nov. 23, 2012. Click the date to get the recipe.

Judi brought Deviled Eggs, who knew they could taste so good! Bea and Timmy provided some great wines.

Jaimie and Robert made not one but two salads. First a Burrata, Roasted Tomato and Pesto Salad and then a great version of Nancy’s Chopped Salad from The Mozza Cookbook.

Darryl and Robert baked an Upside-down Pineapple Cake and a Carrot Cake. It was yummy. Sorry I didn’t keep some of it! We also had ice cream that Michael brought. Everyone especially liked the Pear Ice Cream.

The wine selection for the dinner was exceptional. Everyone truly enjoyed the food, wine and company!
