Smoke and Tequila Dinner

 A tasting of Puro Verde Tequilas and a signature drink with Grapefruit peel and ginger beer!

 A tasting of locally made Rahr beers

 Smoked Sea scallops with sriracha Agave and Jicama Slaw

 Smoked pork belly sliders with Dijon potato salad

 Cranberry and Cognac sausage with Tequila Guacamole Nachos

 Smoked pumpkin cheesecake with graham cracker crust and smoked chocolate sauce

The Smoke and Tequila dinner a few weeks ago was a huge success. Congratulations to Al and everyone who put forth so much effort. It had been years since we have done a patio dinner, but in Texas there is a short sweet span of weeks when the weather is just perfect.

 This was one of those days. Perfection.

Outstanding in the field

I just came across this website via Design Sponge. Isn't it wonderful? Outstanding in the Field is a wonderful group that sets up local dinners all over the US. They bring the farmers, Chefs and guests together for a memorable meal in glorious farm settings!
I think Hannah's should do this move-able feast sometime in the summer, but when is a good time? The Texas weather is so fickle, really, because two days ago I was looking at snow and today will be 75! Any good suggestions for a time and place?

The menu included Red wine vinegar pickles with local salt, A tasting of Goat cheeses from Latte da Dairy and Dallas Mozzarella Company, Bibb lettuce salad with sprouts and hard boiled egg, Fresh Tomato Blt Salad with hot bacon dressing, Pineapple sage and Pear roasted Ham, Pork Loin, Sweet Potato fries, Butternut squash with brown butter and sage, Purple Hull peas, Stewed okra and tomatoes, Rosemary Roast Beef and potatoes Lyonnaise, Poblano Roasted Chicken and Blueberry pecan Crisp with Cantaloupe Lavender Sorbet and much, much more!

My goal for next year is to incorporate more wild foods.There are still those elusive morels in Sherman Gainsville area and maybe some more sunchokes and yucca shoots and burdock or poke salad....Maybe the Spring will bring us some luck for these wild foods of North Texas.

If you missed it, be sure to sign up early for the next one, we were booked for this one!
