It seems only proper to break out the bubbly right now of year. In a few weeks, we won’t be capable to get pleasure from our again porch without first slathering on a bottle of bug spray, lighting 15 citronella candles and hooking up the bug zapper. Ok, we may dwell within the South, however we actually don’t have one of those. Since I’m breaking out the bubbly, I’d like to make a toast to ChefMom over at Eat, Play, Love. She lately gave me the Versatile Blogger Award. She’s passed the award onto quite a few different worthy bloggers. Her list is here. She obtained the award from some great bloggers, Kay aka BabyGirl at Pure Complex and Alison at Happy Domesticity. Alison, together with Genn at Cadencies, additionally gave me the award. Here’s my checklist. Update! Samina Cooks gave me the award too, her list is right here. Now, onto the bubbly. Here are four methods to get pleasure from a nice cava or prosecco, one thing you didn’t lay our a fortune on. A pleasant bottle is at all times better straight up. Drizzle somewhat Chambord or limoncello in the bottom and fill the remainder with the bubbly. On the left is a special spin on a mimosa. Use equal components grapefruit and orange juice and add desired amount of sparkling wine. Or put some combined-berry puree in the underside of your glass. Although, if it’s shaped like ours it may not mix nicely, not that we make mistakes we rather enjoy making an attempt to slurp puree from such a thin stem. Try a extra conventional flute or GASP! No one will assume any much less of you. Blend berries, sugar and lemon juice in blender till pureed. Place sieve over a bowl and pour mixture by to strain seeds. You’ll need to help it together with a spatula. Once strained, stir in Chambord if desired.
