Went to a fundraiser dinner for one of my friends farm. They're pig/chicken farmers. Menu consisted of their Mule foot/Berkshire cross breed:

1st course - braised/grilled pork belly skewers over a bed of local green, Asian spiced jus
2nd course - old school chicken soup. Nice touch with some carmelized onions.
3rd course - Muleshire 3 ways. Braised thinly sliced loin, Chinese 5 spice braised shank, "Nacho Mama" pork sausage.
4th course - lime scented blueberry jam tart, with a lemon creme fraiche butter.

Black angus porterhouse with grilled Klondike rose potatoes.

Chicken Cacciatore & pasta last night.


Pork Marsala w/potatoes tonight.
Although I 'cheated' & used Shiraz.
The trick is to add Gran Marnier (burn off the alcohol first)
to sweeten it up. Then add mushrooms sauteed in sherry.
