re: What’s the dinner menu tomorrow

Probably some leftover Pastina Soup I’m making tonight, smoked boudin and fried eggs.

I just ate a shite ton of Halloween candy for lunch. Feeling very ashamed.

Nonetheless, tomorrow night is some Rudy's BBQ and some Sazerac to wash it all down

Standing rib roast
Cream of broccoli soup
Homemade artichoke dip
Charcuterie board
Volcanic lemon and pomegranate bourbon punch

I’m smoking a brisket and making a Lemon Icebox Pie. My wife is making a bunch of rabbit food. We’ll have 14 people total - all for OMB.

Hopefully, anything but crow.

In my younger days, I’d always buy a bottle of something based on my expectations.

My floor was beer, then up to Beam and so on. The ceiling was usually a nice bottle of scotch, macallan 18 or better.

This year I’m cautiously optimistic, just hope we can outvote the frickery. If I was doing that for this one, I’d probably go with something like Makers. Good enough to celebrate, not so expensive that you can’t drink it out of misery too.

Boudin stuffed porkchops, twice baked potatoes, grilled asparagus and a big fat bowl.

I have a commercial popcorn machine at home.

Very appropriate for the Dem melts.
