Classic Bloody Mary {with Fresh Tomato Juice}
Last Sunday, which also happened to be Father’s Day, I became inspired to make Homemade Fresh Tomato Juice. No, this wasn’t a health kick surge or an overachiever moment. It was, for no other reason than, to deliver a Classic Bloody Mary this day.

Beignets & Charbroiled Oysters {and a Pimm’s Cup Cocktail Recipe}
Oysters. Fifty cent oysters on the half shell. That’s how it began one week ago today. Wait, you could say it actually began with Pimm’s Cup Cocktails at one of New Orleans most famous watering holes, the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone. That’s where our bartender recommended Lüke, a Chef John Besh restaurant, located just a short walk away in the Central Business District. We wasted no time and headed that way. Lucky us…when we walked through the door we were informed that it was ‘Happy Hour.’ Fifty cent oysters on the half shell. Half-priced house brews and cocktails.

Dark & Stormy Cocktail {and Night}
The Dark & Stormy Cocktail. I was driving to work this morning listening to the radio when I detected a bit of excitement in the weatherman’s voice. The kind he gets when a storm is brewing. It’s the start of tornado season and the weather conditions are just right for late afternoon thunderstorms. He cautioned his radio audience….be prepared for a Dark & Stormy Night on your evening drive home.

Homemade Chai Tea Latte
I made scrumptious Pistachio-Chai muffins yesterday afternoon. I sat down at my computer this morning, muffin by my side, to write about them. I didn’t get two sentences in before I was stuck. How do I describe the flavor of Chai Tea? I love it. I’ve had it many times since Shelby first introduced it to me several years ago. I know there’s cinnamon, I think there may be ginger and clove, but it’s depth of flavor is far more than that.

Margarita Granita
While I generally order my Margaritas on the rocks with salt, if I’m going to have one frozen – bring me a spoon please. Today is National Margarita Day, too great a Post op to pass on (ha!). I decided this would be a chance to make my first Granita. The Granita originated in Italy and can vary in texture and flavor throughout regions depending on the ingredients and freezing method. I’ve seen some lovely Granita recipes on the pages of fellow food lovers. And have been taking notes of the ones I will try when the warm weather comes back around…flavors such as Wild Strawberry, Cucumber Mint, and Pink Grapefruit come to…
