Superbowl Salad

I admit it! I am grossly behind on blogging. This beautiful photo session was shot back on - yikes - Election Day! We voted and we high tailed it over to our friends at Casa de Perrin to have a delicious BBQ as we talked politics. Oh how I love to talk politics. And I love to talk politics over a gorgeous table. Look at this table!

So let's just go ahead and apply this meal to Superbowl Sunday because BBQ on red, white and royal blue suits this American past time in the same way it suits Election Day. I'm not a sports person... at all, but I am a food person and pork sliders and salad sound real good to me today.
