    Cinco vs Derby. Lime vs Mint. The battle continues.

    May 3, 2013 /

    Kentucky Derby or Cinco de Mayo? Mint Julep or Margarita? It is an age-old question leading up to the first weekend in May. Well OK, maybe not age-old but still, a question that I  have asked every year in May during my adult entertaining years. Living in the North East most of my life Cinco de Mayo was my excuse to have a party and my kick off to summer. One month before the traditional Memorial Day weekend, I would send out the invite and pray for a warm sunny day to host friends for guacamole, salsa, margaritas and the always popular “Cinco Brownies” outside on the patio.

    Champagne Selecting Tips

    December 31, 2012 /

    As far as I am concerned Champagne is the perfect beverage almost any day of the week and the perfect gift any time of the year – but how do you select the perfect bottle from the rows in your local wine shop? Although  I believe in the trial method below are a few champagne selecting tips from the experts.  How do you know if it’s real Champagne? They say the only legitimate bubbly is the stuff that hails from France’s Champagne region. All others are technically sparkling wine (known as spumante, sekt or vin mousseux in other parts of the world). What’s the difference between Sweet + Dry Champagne? …

    Tangerine Thyme Cocktail Recipe

    May 6, 2012 /

    If at first you don’t succeed try, try and try again. At least that was the theme for this Spring Herb inspired cocktail. Luckily we were heading to a friends’ home for the Cinco/Derby weekend and I would have a few people to play with me. Taste testing versions #1 & #2 till we agreed #3 was the ideal version of a beverage I had never before made but had agreed to use as my contribution to the newly formed Sunday Supper Movement. A group of bloggers committed to bringing the family and friends back to the table for the Sunday meal. I had something close to a recipe in…
