Wrap Your Meat!
All right, get yer mind out of the gutter. We had a party last Saturday that we dubbed the "Wrap Your Meat" party. Jim came up with the idea a few weeks back, in a television-induced stupor (gin had nothing to do with it). The theme was subject to interpretation, of course. You could either wrap your meat in something, or wrap your meat around something else. Oh, man, that sounds bad.
We had to put it off for a while, due to certain requisite attendees' jet-setting schedules (galavanting), but we made it come together last week. Big fun. As usual, I took very few pictures of people, but got some okay food shots.
Menu items included, but were not limited to:
Pigs in a blanket
Pickles wrapped in ham and cream cheese
Steamed Pork Buns (not shown here, WTF didn't I take a photo?)
Proscuitto-wrapped Pears
Thai Beef Salad (a delicious stretch)
And the piece de resistance, Bacon-wrapped Water Chestnuts. (OMG)
Carla made this insane apple dessert with cream cheese, caramel and nuts...yum. There was no meat involved in this dessert, fortunately.
I'd never actually had pigs in a blanket, or bacon-wrapped water chestnuts before. I loved them both. In fact, I'd only had my first corn dog this year with Rinner at the Walworth County Fair (I can't believe I made her take this photo of me).
But I digress. I got to meet C-Vo's friends Danyello and Danyell-Owned (so I suck at the aliases)--really nice folks. I think we may have bored them to death with photos of Door County from this summer, as Ray-Ray had not yet seen all of Jim's photos from that event. And then I continued the boredom with silly Space Ghost videos on You Tube. My social skills really need some help. But really, we had a terrific time, and there were many off-color, inappropriate (and thus hysterical) meat-wrapping jokes to fill the night with laughter.
We laid around afterwards in a serious food-coma. It was great fun, thanks guys.
Next event will be "Get Sauced!" TBA.
