 Bourbon Rib Eye Steaks Flamande

Rita gave a short demo and talk on the natural virtues of grassfed beef.   
We couldn't wait to sample this perfectly cooked steak! 

Each couple received this pamphlet and a signed copy of Rita's book!

 Rita and I at the dinner table enjoying food, wine, and great conversation. 

 Gail's lovely table-scape.

 Gail's kitchen area opens into the living room.

 Gail and Rita created this beautiful tart using no set recipe.
 Needless to say, it was out of this world good.  I have a feeling Gail will use this recipe in a future issue of the Carefree Cooking Magazine.

 Wilson made his Kentucky Corn Pudding recipe as a side dish.

 I made mini-cheesecakes with fresh fruit and spun sugar accents.

 A toast to our hosts Gail & Tom
who entice us with excellent food, creativity, and beautiful surrounding.

 No need to worry about the calories since they're small!
