Did some work at the Roadhouse this afternoon and Fabian treated me to a Po’ Boy sandwich.  I ordered it with fried oysters - you can choose that, shrimp, catfish, or all three - served on a Bakehouse hogie roll with mayo, cabbage, and Cornman pickled green tomato.  Delicious!

From the Overdue Posts pile…IT got together for another regular dinner on Nov. 21, the theme this time was Asian foods.  We started with edamame, crab rangoon (filo nightmare), and salad with marash pepper/teryaki/ginger (?) dressing.  The entree was shabu-shabu, literally meaning “swish-swish,” a fondue-like process of cooking thin sliced beef in a hot kettle of broth.  The broth included several kinds of mushrooms, tofu, cabbage, and some other goodness.  We cooked the meat and served with a laddle of broth over rice - delicious!  Photos were taken, hope to post soon.  Ask us for our recipes!

Yesterday afternoon we all rode up to Cornman Farms in Dexter to have Mark show us around.  We spent a couple hours touring, harvesting, and tasting.  We had a lot of fun and Mark was an excellent host - and a terrific cook, too!  After our visit to the farm we all went to the Roadhouse for dinner, where Mark and Keiron roasted our veggies and served them with our dinner.  It was totally the farm-to-fork experience, peep the gallery to see all the pictures.

Thanks to M&G for loaning the camera!

My guilt has caught up with me and a long overdue follow-up post about our latest trip to New York is finally here.

Everything really does taste better with bacon.

This is why IT huddles rock.

EDIT (06/04/08): Curious folks have asked. Yup, it’s homemade. It’s a rum-brown sugar cream base with candied bacon bits. And yes, it’s delicious!
