Last Cookout of the Season
September 27th, 2005 at 6:17am
With the coming of Fall, the nights are coming on earlier and cooler, and so Sunday some friends and I got together for one last outdoor cookout. A friend was visiting from her new home in North Carolina, and we had a potluck dinner with our dogs in attendance. Here was the relaxing menu:
Spicy Corn Soup with Cilantro
Roast Vegetables and Polenta, Cheese, and Onion Casserole (The Polenta was my contribution)
Barbecued Ribs!
We also had an appetizer of Baked Brie in Phyllo two ways; Almond and Honey, and Drunken Plum, and a dessert of Caramel covered brownies.

The menu sounds delicous
Your dogs look great too!
Thanks. I wish I could take credit for the whole menu, but it was a potluck. I did the polenta casserole. also, the Red Miniature Pinscher, Stiva, is mine. The other dog, Nick, belongs to my good friend Deb, and that photo is somewhat of a miracle. Nick has so much energy, and this was the one and only time I ever got him to sit down next to me for more than 2 seconds. Just long enough for the photo to be taken. Then he was up chasing his ball again.
