Party Time at the Penthouse Photographs - Ol Man River Sunset Supper in Memphis


   

Oh, I so hope you enjoyed peeping into the party we held at the Memphis penthouse to launch the 30th Anniversary Fashion Celebration and Dinner honoring my friend, Pat Kerr. Friends gathered to enjoy an Ol'Man River sunset supper from TN, MS, and AR. It is always magical. Everyone was offered a TN mint julep the moment they stepped off the elevator. Then into the grand salon to mingle, through the library, and out onto the terrace. Appetizers of Egg Salad with AR Caviar or TN Smoked Salmon on toast points were passed as the DIVAS circulated and sang to the crowd. The the dining room doors were opened and a Southern buffet was served in the lipstick red dining room. Oh la la, it was delicious - fried chicken, spinach souffle, garden fresh tomatoes with basil and cheese, mashed potatoes, biscuits and yeast rolls, strawberries with sour cream and brown sugar and chocolate mousse. The most charming waiters who knew many guests by name circulated to keep drinks refreshed and everyone happy. Barges rolled slowly down the mighty Mississippi and the sun sank behind the Mississippi bridge. Oh it was a good time had by all and many thanks to our friends who provided Jack Daniels - wouldn't be a TN party without it and One Hope WINE - please try this new wine, it's wonderful and part of the proceeds of each bottle goes to charity.

Oh, what a party - you look very glam, and the menu sounds fantastic. My next post will be on a cruise down the Potomac....but, just as the Potomac River does not compare to the Mississippi, our little happy hour fell short of the razzle-dazzle it appears your night held! Thanks for sharing!!

Hey Libby!
I just found your blog! I loved this post... you know that I am from Savannah and my family is long time friends with all the Kerrs. I enjoyed seeing this post and a few Savannah faces. (A few friendly Jackson faces too).

I am going to officially "follow you" so I can keep up with all of these fabulous recipes... ad I know you are doing something in the fall with PKT and her designs at the Dutch Garden.. amazing.

Thanks for sharing!
