Another Quality Evening with B&A...1) Good Food
2) Great Conversation
3) Many Laughs
4) One too many drinks

Lisai's steak tips are very special. Being separated by a couple hour drive, we have limited access to their beefy goodness. When we do pick some up we either hog them all to ourselves or very carefully choose others to share them with - you have to pass the test!

I believe the last time we shared our prized taste of the hometown butcher was with my brother and sister (-in-laws) at least a year ago. Making the cut this time (i.e. being hand selected to partake in the enjoyment of these glorious steak tips) were B&A.
Although I felt rather guilty for the lazy APP-PLATTS and low maintenance dinner menu, the Lisai's Treasure would be enough.
B (of B&A) brought this delicious loaf of Irish something bread. It was another experimental, yet delicious creation from his no knead bread book. A success for sure, we enjoyed the rest of the loaf for breakfast each morning after!

Working on the fly he also created this spicy cinnamon butter. I am not kidding when I say spicy either...B used enough cayenne to tickle the tongue into hysterics!*
I do have to say that it went pretty well with the bread!*
A (B's better half haha!) created these wonderful roasted potatoes!*
Now here are the famous Lisai's House Marinated Steak Tips.*
Though I overcooked them just a bit, these suckers hit the spot!
Though I overcooked them just a bit, these suckers hit the spot! How can you possibly go wrong with quality beef and that secret marinade?!?

Here is the 1st runner up of the night. The initial idea for a spinach salad was from the one and only Hubs.

Our salad consisted of baby spinach, Maytag blue cheese, bacon, mushrooms, toasted pecans, dried cherries, vidalia spring onion and a homemade maple dressing done by yours truly and A.
*
While probably not the healthiest, this dressing was fantastic!!
It was whipped up using bacon fat, maple syrup, lemon, rice vinegar, salt and pepper.
*
Do note, since using the bacon fat, the dressing needs to be warm enough to prevent the fat from solidifying.
*
Yum, yum, YUM!!!

The evening was great, company absolutely fabulous, and all in all another priceless dinner party with B&A!!!
