Perfect Bloody Mary

Filed under: Recipes — Susan @ 6:18 pm

Also according to Alton Brown this is a recipe for the perfect Bloody Mary:

  • fill a normal size blender with cherry tomatoes to the top and add two ounces of fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1 tsp. of your favourite hot sauce ( I prefer Tabasco’s Chipotle Sauce and would probably use more), 2 tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 tsp. of Kosher salt. and blend for a full two minutes
  • into a tall glass add 3 frozen tomatoe juice ice cubes and 2 ounces of good Vodka ~ top with blended mixture
  • add a slice of lemon and a rib of celery

Can you imagine using the cherry tomatoes that you have just picked off your organic cherry tomato plant that you have growing in your back yard!!

Doesn’t that look good ~ looks like you can use a pickle spear too!  bloody_mary

With a few tweaks you can make the perfect Caeser – which my friends, Cathy and Albert can as well as myself.  Leave a comment and I will let you know how to make the perfect Caeser!  caesar

Perfect Margarita

Filed under: Recipes — Susan @ 6:04 pm

I saw a show today that claimed to make the perfect margarita.  This is what Alton Brown claims to be the perfect Margarita:

  • dip a Margarita glass in Tequila then wait 10 seconds then dip into Kosher salt
  • squeeze the juice of two limes into a steel shaker
  • into a different steel shake put one orange cut into eights, one and a half limes cut into sixths and 2 ounces of Agave nectar then muddle for two whole minutes and strain into the first steel shaker that has the lime juice
  • add two ounces of excellent quality Tequila to the first steel shaker and three good quality ice cubes ~ pop the lid onto said steel shaker and shake for a full 30 seconds
  • strain into the rimmed Tequila glass and add a slice of lime

Peanut chicken soup

Filed under: Recipes — Susan @ 6:51 pm

I love soup . . .  of all kinds so I am always looking for new funky recipes.  allrecipes.com  is my favourite site for finding just about anything that I want with the ingredients that I have at hand or even something a little more adventerous . . . like peanut chicken soup.  Key allrecipes.com into your search engine and hopefully it will be right there for you see and then make. 

I made a few adjustments.  I used my leftover turkey breast from last Christmas and homemade turkey stock from the same event (instead of chicken and chicken broth), I didn’t use potatoes because I am potato-ed out now (I grew way too many potatoes this year and we often have potatoes some how with our meal . . enough already . . . I done with the potatoes!).  About five minutes before I was about to serve the soup I added enough Oriental style egg noodles to the soup along with the parsley.  It worked out just lovely.   How I would tweak this recipe is add a little something hot like a wee bit of smokey chipotle powder or even just chili peppers, chunky peanut butter rather than smooth for texture and also fresh cilantro rather than fresh parsley.  A nice garnish would be some chopped peanuts on top.  I did serve this with a fresh baked baguette but I think I would have preferred it with an Oriental rice paper wrap with crunchy veggies.   Peanut Turkey Soup ~ enjoy ~ I loved it!  Bob liked it too!
