Get your Mojo on

Decided to have the neighbors over for a casual backyard dinner this evening just because it's the end of summer, and we've done far too little hanging out lately.

Menu for 8 is simple, but tasty:

Fresh black mission figs sliced open and draped with prosciutto with a healthy shaving of good Parmesan Reggiano on top.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with a guava glaze and a citrus/habanero mojo sauce (which smelled just AWESOME this morning when I made it).

Fresh, grilled corn salad with basil and red onion vinagrette.

Roasted baby sweet peppers stuffed with lemon, herbs, and goat cheese ricotta.

Peach Sangria

And for desert: Grilled pineapple on vanilla ice cream.

I'm gonna miss summer.....

An impressive menu, but why does the grilling have to necessarily stop with the end of summer? Keep that grill going into the fall is what I say!

Speaking of, I am going to need to buy one of those. Right after I get the washer and dryer. ;-)

Although I speak english, I have no idea what 90% of the menu items are. They must not carry this stuff in the microwave section of the Giant.

Charissa: Yeah, I don't think you were blogging when I hosted a Baltiblogger soiree last year and made paella for about 45 people. Lots of fun.

JJT: I'll keep grillin! It's the fresh, off the vine, veggies and fruit I'll miss.

tfg: No doubt. ;-|~
