Post 4th Brunch at our Place












Dave made some damn fine Denver Ribs (lamb ribs)...bbq'd em low and slow and we marinated them in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and rosemary. We had shrimp with cocktail sauce, wild mushroom and garlic ravioli with olive oil and parmesean cheese, Shankari brought some fantastic potato salad. I made an eggs benedict casserole with fried green tomatoes on top...drizzled with hollandaise and hash browns on the side. We had brie, and scones/muffins/bread with lemon curd....and some fruit....forgot to put the blueberries on top of the other fruit. Oh well. I also grilled up some veggies and then swirled them into a grilled bloody mary mix...go virgin or go vodka. It was good either way.

The best part of the day was the company...such awesome people, and funny too!
