This past Saturday night CK and I hosted an iPod Battle Royale party at my townhouse where CK and some of his fellow music snobs were required to bring a 30 minute playlist to share.
We had such a great evening, with great friends and while I didn't end up making a playlist I did make a mean pork butt...
 |
| I'm a mix-master in the kitchen and CK is a mix-master with the tunes - we're a good pair. |
 |
| 8 lbs of pure pork buttocks. |
I turned that pork butt into the most glorious pulled pork I've ever made, granted this was the first time I ever made pulled pork, but that's beside the point. THIS RECIPE KICKS PORK BUTT - make it now - then make this cilantro jalapeno coleslaw and pile it onto of the pulled pork.
I also made this strawberry spinach salad, this potato salad with lemon and herbs and a family recipe pineapple cake with cream cheese icing.
I really like to cook, guys.

| Backyard fun + backyard fun on an angle + Jesse and Muffin being adorable + #whatdeerywore |
The music theme continued on Sunday with a trip to Blossom Music Center to take in a Dave Matthews Band show. A great group of friends including CK, MOB, Beaver, Jen and Stephen tailgated for the afternoon in the lot and danced our faces off at the DMB show.
 |
| Nice view from the Dave show - the band blew me away for the record, the best they've sounded in years, so polished, so DMB grown up. |

Good weekend, good friends, good music.
I can get used to this life.
I knew there had to be a DMB concert this weekend. We live in Cuyahoga Falls and EVERYONE was playing DMB all weekend! ha!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun weekend! :)
I LOVE live shows!!
ReplyDeleteThat's one hot sexy apron you've got there. And I will be stealing all these recipes. Thankyouverymuch.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute patio too!
pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting! I must've read that a few times as I salivate over here. I love cream cheese frosting on anything and everything if I could!
ReplyDeleteIf I lived closer, I'd be crashing your party with a menu like that!
ReplyDeleteThat pork buttocks was the best pork buttocks I've ever tasted. In my life.
ReplyDeletelove that idea for a party, so fun! and hurrah for DMB concert, i do adore them so. it's so time to see them live again, it's always the best.
ReplyDeleteI love DMB, but I've gotta be honest, I haven't seen them in concert since before they made it big. I grew up in the DC area and I'd often visit my friends who were attending UVA. I gonna see them this year hopefully tickets prices won't be too high and some of you . They were awesome back then, I'd imagine they are even more so today.
ReplyDeleteThose pics are great! Thanks for sharing.
Why wouldn't you share the playlists from the party?
