A Wednesday in Pictures
Congratulations to Carolyn G who was drawn as the winner for the Grapefruit Marmalade Giveaway! Thanks to everyone who entered and of course, keep in touch for other sweet tasting giveaways!
Last night’s dinner was an unusual combination of finger foods and appetizers. I decided to make Buffalo Shrimp inspired by this recipe. But substituted Creole seasoning with a blend of Cajun and pique, or Puerto Rican hot sauce which I bought off a roadside stand in Puerto Rico – it’s usually homemade and bottled by local area farmers or grandmothers who spend their lifetimes in kitchens.
I didn’t have any ranch on hand so I mixed my own complimentary (and according to some friends, cringe inducing) sauce: equal parts ketchup, mayo and a dash of mustard. Try it, it’s not as ugh-sounding as you think.
