Labor Day BBQ party!

The worst thing to happen at a party is to run out of food...  Especially if it's a party that I am throwing.  (Imagine the horror!)  So we hosted a bbq/pasta party to celebrate the final stretch of what left in Summer 2012 and the exact opposite happened.  I cooked way too much food for a group of 25..  I could have fed 50!  Good news is that almost everyone took home leftovers....


Veggie sticks
Ranch and Korean Chojang


Quinoa Salad
red pepper, arugula, cucumber, avocado, corn, & red onion


Toasted Pinenut Pesto Spaghetti
This is ALWAYS a hit!


Linguine with pancetta, sweet corn, roasted tomatoes, and mushroom
Gorgonzola & marscapone cheese in a white wine reduction



The sweet fruits of summer 2012
You will be missed!!

Also on the menu were salame & cheese platters, fried dumplings, pork fried rice, marinated flank steaks, hot links, italian sausages, and the best grilled chicken ever!!
(made by a friend!)

Good times, good food, good friends, good weather, lots of food and lots of leftovers.
And of course, lots of fine wine and cold beer.


Picture perfecto!
