Kickin' the Summer off...

Love cooking in the summer time, so this year I wanted to start things up with a Cocktail themed dinner. The menu highlighted Tomatoes, Corn, Watermelon, Peaches, Mint ---everything Summer! I threw in Pork Loin since it was recently released by the USDA that it is now safe to eat it at a Medium temperature. HELLO WORLD!

FOOD. BOOZE. GOOD PEOPLE. Isn't that what life is about?

Many thanks to my bartender, sous chef, cleaner uppers and food photographer, you know who you are!
