Derby day feasting/ cocktails

[Timothy F. Lewis]

The liquor aisle was out of 101 so we ended up with 81.5 proof Wild Turkey yesterday, I prefer the higher proof but, one must make do with what’s available now and then.
Feast turned out well.

Ready to get to work!
Spitted, rubbed, and tied,

And done,

Salad
Sliced,

Mango salsa and a flighty caramelized apple sauce with butter,

And a plate
Sorry no pictures of the pie! It was kind of a hot mess, it needed to firm up more but, damn it was good!

Darryl, that looks pretty darned good!

We had our juleps yesterday with Weller green. Nice to see some love for wild turkey. It gets overlooked with all the bourbon snobbery. I came across a bottle of rare breed rye and it is fantastic. You could spend three times the price and not get a better rye. Cheers y'all

Darryl, that looks pretty darned good!

Yours looks great!
Mine turned out to be just the sammy's, too many mint juleps really slowed down my progress for a full dinner.
Made the oven fries on Sunday with burgers.

Well, cocktails happen!
As long as everyone has a good time and appreciated the effort, that’s the best you can hope for.
The dessert I made was delicious but ended up as ugly as a mud fence!
