As I sat in the drive way of my friends the Hamels after finishing a ridonculous meal. I couldn't help but think that my friends Hatty and Pletchers should have their own cook book.
After developing dairy and soy allergies during pregnancy, Hatty had to change her diet and can I say she looked way skinny and good? (I still love you more Honey K) and she cooked our meal with those dietary restrictions.
I hate coleslaw but that was the best coleslaw I have ever had. It tasted fresh and fruity. Unusual one might think but awesome. I don't like potato salad but the tanginess and creaminess of the potatoes were delightful. And ribs. Hmmm ... ribs were juicy and contained all the smoky goodness of Kansas BBQ. And to top it all off, chocolate cake with fresh raspberry. (Faints)
I always believe that anything cooked with dedication and love can always be tasted and today it was a mouthful. My greatest fear has always been growing up. When the Hamels put Mr T to sleep, and we started having dinner, I felt old. I was that child that had to go to sleep when my parent's friends came over. But if in growing up, I get to eat such lovely food, I'm happy.
You see, the wife and I were many hours late for our dinner appointment with the Hamels and we didn't know what to expect. But I guess in the end, we should have expected (Oh, I just drooled again.)
Sideways note. American Pinot Noir is climbing up my list of wines to drink. The Colorado label Carlson Vineyards matched very well with everything for dinner and only costs $20 USD
