Weekend Get Together
The Frickes invited the neighborhood gang to their home for dinner on Saturday for an evening of good conversation, wine, and food. The evening started with us clinking glasses full of the Magistrate wine and tasting Andrea's delicious sun-dried tomato stuffed mushrooms. We then moved to my new favorite dinner table (it was square so we all shared in one conversation all night) and were served a wonderful family-style dinner. We had John's caesar salad served along with grilled halibut, twice-grilled potatoes (there were at least three types of cheese!!!), and green beans. The halibut had a wonderful marinade that was sweet, gingery, and salty, the recipe is posted in the comments below. Brannon brought over a preview of their wedding wine for us to try, yum, I can't wait until August 28! The evening was capped by Jacki's family specialty, the Bailey's Pie. I LOVE this dessert and when you see the ingredients in the comments below, you will know why. Thanks, Jacki and Matt, we had such a great night!

Halibut Marinade
(says it’s good for 2 lbs., but I doubled this for 3 lbs. the other night)
3 tsp butter, melted
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp pepper
Combine all ingredients (it will be like a paste, not a sauce) and rub into fish.
Bailey's Pie
1/2 cup Bailey's
1 pint heavy cream
7 oz marshmallow fluff
Oreo pie crust
Whisk fluff and Bailey's together until mixed. Whip cream into whipped cream. Pour Bailey's mixture into whipped cream and mix until combined. (This is when I add some chocolate chips or chunks in as well.) Scoop into pie crust. Top with chocolate chips or chocolate shavings. Recipe calls for freezing for four hours, but I like to freeze overnight so it gets an ice cream consistency instead of a whipped cream consistency.
