Barbecue and Beer and a[n] [almost] Government Shutdown

In anticipation of the dreaded government shutdown, Kenneth and I decided to host a barbecue complete with all of the fixings and our new kegorator.  The hubs built the kegorator with tax refund money to make our home party central for the detachment and to "economize" beer drinking... we are in a recession after all.  Of course, I wanted to impress Kenneth's friends and colleagues with my cooking and baking skills, so I pulled out all of the stops to host a casual barbecue dinner.  I made the most delicious crock pot pulled pork, a tangy red cabbage slaw, a green salad with an orange vinaigrette, jalapeño cheddar cornbread, and a red velvet cake!  I would have to say that my entertaining skills are getting pretty good!  Now that our kegorator works, you can probably count on more shenanigans and parties at our house!

All the food minus the pulled pork, which was hanging out in the crock pot.
