Blue Beauty Cocktail

My mixologist- my husband, created a drink last night that I'd love to share with you because it was so refreshing and delicious. It kinda reminded me of back in the day, we used to looooovvve to drink the Rum Swizzles that our Club made. We eventually began making them at home- well, I'm getting off the topic of my husband's creation.

Memorial Day

Typical weather for Memorial Day.





But it shaped up long enough for us to enjoy dinner outside.






It started with the American pie Cocktail- a Guy Fieri ( Food Network), creation.








And we had some Brie Crostini, a Thai Beef Salad, marinated Bratwurst, Drunken Baked Beans ( from FoodChatter @ Mixing Bowl)
and a Strawberry Rhubarb pie. YUM!

Petrossian's Caviarcubes

The food section today talked about: caviarcubes. These little cubes are shaped into small squares and packed in olive oil. You can get about 18 cubes in a jar which costs $45 at Petrossian.com. The caviar looks like shiny black dice and has a smooth texture. There's a distinct caviar flavor but there's also a briny bitterness. It's an acquired taste. It's often made with damaged eggs. The article suggests using them as a topping for cocktail canape, oysters or 'baked spuds'.
hhhmmm....
