m.n.d.
This past monday it was my turn to host dinner.
With the awesome park weather we have been having here I felt inspired to make a picnic themed dinner.
I set my living room up with a picnic blanket , candles in canning jars and a ton of pillows.
on the menu for the night was
B.L.Ts on texas toast with spicy mayo and honey glazed turkey, accompanied by an asparagus, brussels sprout , apple salad.
and we cant forget the texas sweet tea (there was also lemonade , and yes arnold palmers were had)
in between dinner and the apparently much anticipated dessert, we had watermelon and a few shots of orangel.
and then?
Peach rhubarb crumble. I also added vanilla bean ice cream , and a spicy orange tequila marmalade. Needless to say it was yum town.
after desert a friend of sam’s popped in , and brought us a bottle of scotch.
I made pseudo smashes.
- scotch
- peach simple syrup
- 2 lemon wedges
- 2 pineapple mint leaves
- some more sugar
- mandarin sparkling water
needless to say , at the end of it we were all ready for a nap.
