The Rogue Estate

Text encapsulated culinary elitism.

We’re both beyond excited about the menu we’ve come up with and wish to share – to tantalize the taste buds of our friends as well as a matter of foreshadowing for this blog – the upcoming content of which will reflect the recipes and experiences of this weekend’s party.

I proudly present our working menu for IPM Radio’s Summer Sizzle 2009:

The starters:

• Roasted Tomato Gazpacho (tomatoes sourced from my gardens)
• Cucumber & Dill salad
• Roasted & smoked garlic spread on toasted baguettes
• Salsa by Big Steve

The sides:

• Vidalia Onion & Apple salad
• Roasted asparagus w/ Thai spiced Hollandaise Sauce
• Sweet corn on the cob
• Real Slaw by Big Steve

From the smokers:

• BBQ Pork Ribs

Extras if we have time:

Sweet finishes:

We’re expecting more sweets and sides as our friends continue to chime in with their own contributions, of course… but this is the main body of the menu we’ll be working from this weekend. It’s going to be incredible and We’ll have photos, process, recipes and lessons learned to share with you in the coming weeks. (And of course the aforementioned formal introduction to Patrick, the newest resident of the Rogue Estate.)

Eat well,
