Here’s a menu for a summer meal that is satisfyingly complete. Begin with a beverage, a Pina Colada, but not just the regular one. You need Brian’s Faux Colada: more flavor and less alcohol. Then a barbecued steak complete with not some overpowering steak sauce, but instead with an intense, smooth blue cheese sauce. Pair that steak with a barbecued onion topped with goat cheese, fig, and honey. Then finish with ice cream adorned with Malted Milk Chocolate Sauce or Fudge Topping. Your choice.
And the recipes? You can find the Malted Milk Chocolate Sauce and the Fudge Topping right here on this blog, already posted on July 2 and July 8.
The drink is being posted today, July 9. Tomorrow comes the blue cheese steak sauce, and the spectacular onion dish is the very next day, Friday the 11th. If goat cheese, fig and honey are not your style, then on Saturday the 12th you’ll see a post for the best baked beans ever — from Vigil’s in New York City.
So, please keep posted. I promise you all the elements you need for a memorable feast.
And if ice cream is not your dessert desire, then look for tomorrow’s post: Diablo Food Cake, wonderful riff on the class Devil’s Food Cake.
