Hello, It's another hot weekend and we wanted to do something that wouldn't heat up the kitchen to much, so we decided to call up a few friends and make Paella.
Cocktail - Honeydew Melontini
I love my juicer! This was so refreshing and delicious. 2 parts Honeydew Melon, 1 part Vodka, 1/2 part Midori liquor and 1 part sparkling water
Appetizer - Vichyssoise
Superb! We'll make this more often, cold soups are so nice in the summer, it was smooth and not to rich. Give it plenty of time in your fridge to cool. If you can make it the day before it's even better
Spanish Sangria
Our guest brought this yummy beverage, the only thing she changed was added more peaches and omitted the raspberries. This went perfect with the entree
Entree - Paella
Delicious! having so many different kinds on sea food in one pot made the taste buds happy. We substituted our large saute pan and made a tin foil lid in place of a paella pan and it worked perfectly. If your using regular large peeled shrimp you can add them in for the last 5-8 minutes. This recipe feeds 4-6 people ( if you have 6 add a little more shell fish). The best part about this dish is that it's made in one pan so it's easy clean up
Desert - Brazo-de-gitano
A little dry but the flavor was good. The only thing we did differently was brushed the cake with a little rum before we layered the rum whip cream.
There you have it, another delicious meal with friends. Next week is John's birthday dinner....Game meat
