Barbeque dinner...

This is the barbeque dinner that we served for our guests, Julia and Cindy (Bill's co-teachers at his tutorial school).


I always fix some sort of salad to go with our barbeque dinner. Here I cut up some carrots, bell peppers, white onion and a hard boiled egg. For the greens, I just tore up a head of iceberg lettuce.


I don't usually fix potato salad since I am the only one who eats it in our family. But when we have guests over, I get to fix my very own version of the potato salad. Mine has a simple mayo, mustard and egg yolk dressing. And I just add minced onion and salt and pepper to the cooked potatoes. Simple but very tasty.


Now we go to the meat of the matter. Here are the rack of baby back ribs that I grilled (but marinated with Bill's special Kentucky barbaque marinade).



I also bought a huge slab of pork that I cut into thick slices and added to the marinated ribs.


Since I still had a fire going on the grill, I tossed several duck sausages that I got from our local supermarket. They were ok, with bits of green chili pepper mixed in the stuffing.


A regular in our dinners is the garlic fried rice. This is very Filipino as we usually serve it for breakfast (accompanied by a savory meat like bacon, fried fish, spam, etc.) This was Cindy's favorite and she was very happy there was garlic fried rice in the menu.


For dessert, I made strawberry shortcake which I cheated. I bought store-made chiffon cake and dressed it with strawberry syrup, whipped cream and marinated sliced strawberries. This I drizzled with the remaining strawberry syrup. Sorry, I didn't take pics of that dessert.
