January's Best of
Our "best of" tasting was super fun and we are happy to support the tradition for next year.
Slight modifications were made to original recipes, which made it even more fun:
Team BJ made their own cornmeal sage dough for the empanadas and also presented a cup with Buffalo Stew Meat Goat Cheese and Cilantro. They also made the Watermelon Margaritas with Sotol in honor of John's recent run in Bandera.
Team K cooked their pork on the grill instead of the oven.
Team N didn't change the carnitas recipe, we did serve with Bluecorn and Flaxseed Tortillas, Cotija Cheese and Cilantro. We didn't find any of the Sakes that Jonathan brought to the sake tasting so we just brought a sake to represent...
Richard brought a bottle of Baker's and Paul showed up with a bottle of Bain's, that South African Whiskey that was ordered online, and left it for John as a congratulatory gift.

January's All Inclusive Best of Tasting Info
January 19th 7pm
We thought it would be fun to initiate an annual Best of Tasting to be held every year in January. This tasting will include a favorite food and beverage from each Tasting Participant from the previous year. Since this is the first one we will be able to choose from the inception of 2dbooze, May 2010.
This year each participant pulled a sheet out of a hat with another participant's all inclusive list of:
A. recipes
B. food
The participant will then prepare their favorite recipe from the list and bring their favorite booze. They do not have to pair the food with the alcohol, we will mix and match pairings based on what is contributed to the tasting.
EX: Team N drew recipes from Team K
and booze from the list that included the Gibbons, Rob and Richard
We will bring Team K's Carnitas Tacos and one of Jonathan's sakes
TaDa!!
this should be fun....
