traditional gin & tonic

February 2, 2015

gin&tonic

Having spent the past couple of weeks in London, we picked up a couple of traditional London habits. One is afternoon tea, along with a cookie or crumpet.  The other is having a gin & tonic, or as we have learned to call them, G&T, ice & a slice, before dinner.  We have been instructed in the traditional way of mixing up a proper gin & tonic, but there all kinds of twists to vary the basic recipe.  Add a muddle of rosemary or fennel, a slice of cucumber or some fresh berries and you have a new spin on the traditional gin & tonic!

Gin & Tonic

  • 1 shot of Gin (we prefer Tanqueray)
  • 5 oz of tonic water (Schweppes is traditional)
  • 2 large cubes of ice
  • lemon or lime slice

Put the ice in a highball glass, add the gin, tonic and lemon or lime slice and mix well.  Enjoy!

Cheers,

avocado toast

January 16, 2015

AVOCADO-TOAST-3

We have eaten avocado toast for years.  We like it best for a snack or light lunch – easy & healthy!  Our version of avocado toast is pretty straight forward:  toasted whole wheat bread, a sliced, perfectly ripe avocado, and topped with some cracked black pepper.  Sometimes we get a little crazy, and sprinkle crushed red pepper on top!  That is until we read this article recently in Bon Appétit – 5 (New!) Ways to Top Avocado Toast.  Life changer!  Avocado toast has taken on a new meaning around here.  Which one sounds the best to you?

PS: Have you entered to win a $200 Nordstrom gift card yet?

Cheers,
