Taste Of Home

Whenever I have friends or family over, I make sure my bar is stocked with all the makings for simple cocktails. I might like to think I have time to separate egg whites for whiskey sours or that I’d remember to prep enough espresso shots for espresso martinis, but it never happens. Guests arrive, and I make the simplest drinks I know off the top of my head. The lemon drop martini is a go-to for me.

I had my first glass of red sangria when I studied abroad in southern Spain. A second, third and fourth glass quickly followed! This fruity wine punch reminded me of mulled wine, but it was cold, light and refreshing—kind of like a wine spritzer. Unfortunately, I quickly learned that sangria is a famous Spanish drink, but the locals avoid it at the bars. Red sangria can be so sugary that it’s impossible to tell the quality of the wine—until you wake up hungover the following day.

I’ll admit it—mincing and dicing take up most of my time in the kitchen, and it’s my least favorite part of cooking. Even after investing in one of the best knife sets, I still dread the idea of spending precious minutes making bite-sized tomatoes for salsa or minute walnut pieces for pesto. Some folks prefer showing off their fancy knifework with clean, precise slices of sweet potato or evenly chopped carrots. However, I’d rather save that energy for flawless pan-fried finishes and brush up on my reduction skills.

Deciding on which zodiac signs are the most dangerous is not an easy task as there could be many ways of determining what is considered dangerous. Dangerous of course could be a very subjective idea. Your own sign could also weigh heavily in making this list as certain signs, as we know, tend to be more compatible with some than others. So, what am I going to make these predictions based on? I am thinking that looking at the most formidable and dangerous people in our history might be a good way to make the determination of the most dangerous signs. Let’s see what we can learn.

Butterfly shrimp sound fancy—like the type of appetizer you’d get at an elegant seafood restaurant. But the term butterflying isn’t fancy at all: It simply refers to slicing meat, poultry or seafood until it’s almost cut in half, creating a thinner piece with double the surface area. For fried butterfly shrimp, that means double the crispy, crunchy breading—making this one of those seafood appetizers that will definitely steal the spotlight.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

From pour-overs to coffee concentrates, nothing gives a boost like the bitter hit of caffeine that comes with a morning brew. No matter what kind of coffee maker you use, a comforting hot mug on a cold day or a refreshing iced coffee when the weather turns warmer is such a treat. But if you’re the only coffee drinker in the house (or you just get tired of grinding your own beans), a drip machine may not be the best choice.
