Appetizer:
Fried Pickles (Recipe)
Yep, we never heard of them either. In lieu of Fried Greed Tomatoes, which apparently aren't available in our neck of the woods, we have opted for another southern tradition made famous by Bernell "Fatman" Austin in 1963 at the Duchess Drive In located in Atkins, Arkansas.
Bread:
Piping Hot Hush Puppies (Recipe)
Don't worry, no puppies were harmed in the making of this dish, but as long as we were heating enough grease for the pickles, we though we may as well use up the rest of it!
Main Course:
Buttermilk Fried Chicken (Recipe)
With more variations than we could read through, we settled on a recipe with lots of fresh herbs, and 24-hours of marination.
Side Dish:
Green Beans (Recipe)
A vegetable every now and then never hurt anybody.
Orgasmic Mac 'n' Cheese
Elbow macaroni smoothered in a bechamel made up of parmigiano reggiano, chevre and cheddar, with sauteed crimini and shitake mushrooms mixed in, topped with white truffle oil and a crunchy panko crust, this is no blue-box mac n cheese.
Dessert:
Bread Pudding with a Whiskey Sauce (Recipe)
What better way to use a dozen eggs and a quart of heavy cream? This bread pudding features french bread drowned in a creamy custard, baked slowly over three hours in a water bath and will be topped with a drunken whiskey sauce.
Music:
Miscellaneous Southern Tunes
Board Game:
Pictionary Telephone (see photo)
