A tasty farewell for a friend

Let me start by apologizing to those who were not invited... This was an impromptu gathering, and I have a small apartment that just can't accommodate everyone I would have liked to invite.  Rest assure there will be future "Super Fancy Finer Things Supper Catering Club Parties" (this is the name that we will be calling our food club gatherings!)

That being said, last week, a few co-workers and myself, decided to have a farewell "party" for our friend and co-worker, Dalin.  I figured what better time to break out a bacon wrapped, apple & jalapeno stuffed pork loin... and don't forget apple-wood smoked!  But since we work in catering, we are not content to just have one delicious item.  Our menu consisted of:

Appetizers

Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Toasted Baguette Slices

Deviled Eggs with Pickled Daikon Radishes, Pickled Red Onion, and Sriracha

Entree

Apple-wood smoked Bacon Wrapped, Jalapeno & Apple stuffed Pork Loin

Twice Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Dessert

 Layered Strawberry Short Cake (seriously, so good!)

I find that an evening full of good food, and good company is a hard thing to beat... And let's just say, I wish I had a larger stomach, so that I could have kept eating.  Everything was sooo good.  I won't bore you with 5 different recipes, but at some later point, I will re-post a few of these items and I will include some recipes.  Until that time, you just have to take my word that it was delicious.

 And finally... Farewell Dalin and good luck in Texas!
