Meal Twelve: Pasta Carbonara with Corn and Chiles

Back to Basics!!  A variety of reasons lead to Dory, Bubbles and I recreating the original team and enjoying Pasta Carbonara with Corn and Chiles. A nice simple meal of pasta, salad and bread... reminiscent of the days before we used to test our beloved chef with complexity!  The corn actually seemed to lighten this normally heavy dish and the chiles added nice kick.  Chef's Note:  would reserve more than an single cup of pasta water to have available ... a bit more would have been great to lighten the sauce. We enjoyed ourselves,  and of course look forward to the return of the the full team!

Meal Eleven: Pimento Cheeseburgers

Classic Americana to start our holiday weekend - Pimento  Cheeseburgers .  This lovely burger was both topped and stuffed with homemade pimento cheese!  A tribute to our southern roots for America's birthday. We also enjoyed a new drink from our Lady Mix-a-lot... a Strawberry Basil Gin creation that refreshed and revived! BONUS MEAL:   Celebrating the holidays with friends added even more food and fun to our weekend... we closed the long celebration with a great cookout and once again, Dory did not disappoint.  This patriotic dessert was a huge hit... pretzel crust, cheesecake center, native strawberries in jello and blueberries to top it.  RED WHITE AND DELICIOUS!
