BYOM With Friends

You may be wondering what BYOM means well last night we had a BBQ and invited our good friends Larry and Linda Vanderwilt.  When we invited them we asked them to BYOM "bring your own meat" and we, Lisa and I, would do the rest.  It is a take off of BYOB, bring your own bottle.  Hey, it works and this way everyone eats what ever kind of meat they want.  So while Tim and I had the Omaha Steaks pork chops, George and Lisa had fish and Larry and Linda had steak.  It worked out really well.  The rest of the dinner involved a lot of items from the garden.  We served fresh cucumbers and tomatoes as an appetizer and in the main meal we had potatoes and fresh green beans, zucchini and squash, a really great cucumber salad and garlic bread.  Larry and Linda also brought fresh sour dough bread and hand churned butter from an Amish market; delicious.  Every thing was and no one left the table hungry.  We were a little concerned about the weather, rain was predicted, but it ended up being a beautiful night so we ate dinner on the patio and enjoyed the mountain views as we ate.  For dessert I made Banana Cream pie which was good but not a great pie to serve when it is warm and humid out.  It looked good until I cut into in and it when to goo but it still tasted good.  We had a great night and we are so glad we had a chance to get together with Larry and Linda before they head down south again.  Thanks Lisa and George and Larry and Linda for a great night!
