Wine pairings

Ok so I’m not really a wine connoisseur but I do love wine and can tell the good from the bad. I might be a bit of a wine snob. But that’s all because I refuse to accept nothing but the best or closer to that side of the spectrum. Now the problem most people have is that they don’t know which wine goes with what food. Not to fret because the Kendall Jackson website has a quick pairing guide. You can also download it as a PDF.

My personal recommendation some Kosta Browne Pinot Noir (2004) with goat cheese and prosciutto. mmm… yummy

Cool off this summer with a “Strawberry-Watermelon Juice with Aloe Vera”

Posted on August 15, 2006. Filed under: Ramblings, Recipes, Tips and Tricks |

Found this great recipe for a thirst quencher on Flickr:

  1. Puree the ripe strawberries and fresh sweet watermelons
  2. Add enough sugar syrup to sweeten it up.
  3. Scoop a generous portion (depending on how much you like) of sweetened tapioca pearls or fruit jelly or aloe jelly into the empty glass before pouring in your juice. Enjoy.

TIPS:
Halve the strawberries and send them in the freezer for a bit to make them strawberry ice cubes. Puree the watermelon juice and add the frozen fresh berries, and get a thicker drink, that’s not watered down, with the occasional small bit of frozen strawberry. It’s super refreshing and tasty!

[to make it even more refereshing add a bit of Rum]
