Meal No. 132: Beef Tenderloin

I really loved having the guys who lived together in UNC's Avery House, back in 1986-1987, at the house this weekend. It was a blast, and I think all of us enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed each other. After yesterday's brunch meal and some time sitting around visiting, the crew took a stroll up Fourth Street and checked out some of downtown Winston-Salem, which is not the place most of them would have remembered from when we were younger.

Last night, as kind of a grand finale of the reunion weeked, the dinner was a roasted beef tenderloin with spicy horseradish sauce, stuffed baked potatoes, French-cut green beans, and homemade bread. By late afternoon, it was time to get going with prepping the meal, and Jimmy Randolph snagged some shots of me tackling the stuffed baked potatoes:

Dessert was some homemade frozen lemon custard ice cream, made using the recipe from Donna Whitley-Smith's mother. Here is a shot over Galen Black's shoulder:
