I'm sharing three of my all-time favorite salad recipes this week. Summertime is a wonderful season to indulge in a healthy menu. We're so very blessed with an abundance of fresh local produce in the Lowcountry. Just add your favorite protein topped with a drizzle of vinaigrette to a pile of mixed greens and beautiful and delicious entrees will appear before your eyes. Enjoy!
Do you have any idea how hard it is to get ten women together for lunch? When Lowcountry Weekly's Aunt Bossy (Susan Murphy) summons you to her new home, you show up. Still, a couple of us were late, couple of us were very late, and one of us had to leave early. Such are the lives of busy working women. No matter, we pulled it together and enjoyed a lovely luncheon – complete with champagne. Guess who cooked?
What a treat! I was recently the guest of honor at the Bluestockings Book Club. For their May meeting, members prepared salad and dessert recipes from The Pat Conroy Cookbook and from my cookbook, Celebrate Beaufort. Nine recipes were featured – and I tasted them all. Everything was delicious! Look how beautiful the presentations were. So impressive!
Back in December 1971, for my birthday, the only thing I really and truly wanted was a Voice of the Mummy game. I'd seen the spooky pharaoh's tomb commercials on television where the ominous voice of the mummy actually spoke from the sarcophagus at the top of the board game pyramid. (Keep in mind that I'm from the “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?” era, when we'd close the drapes and build a fort out of blankets and pillows to watch our favorite “scary” Saturday morning cartoon. Sort of the same thing.)
'Tis the season! The season for outdoor gatherings, that is. Spring in Beaufort is the most wonderful time of year to invite friends over for cocktails on the deck while you're grilling vegetables to go with dinner. Of course, the no-seeums will run you back into the house when it's actually time to eat supper, but that's part of Beaufort's charm. Vince and I recently hosted a dinner party for some of our Lowcountry Weekly friends.
And they’re off! More than just a horse race, the Kentucky Derby is a wonderful reason for hosting a gathering. In 2019, the Kentucky Derby will be held on Saturday, May 4. Since the race only lasts for about two minutes, Derby Day food and drink will be needed to make your party a grand success. Site Designed and Maintained by Vision Technology Management
