Rivalry Dinner


Russ and Rob have a bet over the Clemson vs. South Carolina game each year. This has become a new tradition which definitely benefits the wives because the loser has to cook dinner at the winner's home. This year's dinner was prepared by my fabulous husband. He cooked for 2 days and it was totally worth every minute he spent in the kitchen. The food was delicious! Here's the menu and pictures of each course. Go Tigers!

After seven incredible courses I couldn't believe any of them could be topped, but the finish of the short rib (my favorite course) and the cobbler--Wow! I only hope the Gamecocks come through again so I escape trying to live up to this menu. Love you guys! By the way we drank more wine than last year!

That is unbelievable looking. Russ, why are you not a professional chef?
