Henry Weinhard's Root Beer

A smooth, creamy, froth-happy drink that brings a smile to the face of all who drink it. Think of it as a healing potion for the soul.

We recently pitted this against two other fancy root beers, in a competition we called "Root Beer Flights" and it won hands down.

Bottoms up!

Pimm's Cup

This classic British refresher is a must for spring days (and on into summer, of course!). Served at Wimbledon, there's something regal to it, despite its simple construction.

start with 2-3 oz. Pimm's No. 1 in a high ball or mojito glass half-filled with ice
pour in clear lemon-lime soda, saving an inch at the top of the glass
squeeze in half a lemon or lime
twist a few cucumber slices and drop them in
garnish with lemon or lime and cucumber slice

the cucumbers make the drink. honestly. drink and enjoy. since this has low alcohol content, you can have more than one. they're better with each one...

BEST sandwich

that's right, i'm declaring the best sandwich in the world (okay, one of the best). it's an extension of the BLT, and it's called the BEST: bacon, egg, spinach, and tomato. and i own that name. nobody else can use it without paying royalties.

as i like to say, "a sandwich is only as good as its weakest tomato." i own that too. seriously :)

of course, you can substitute turkey bacon or tofu or anything else you prefer. spread mayo on one slice of toast made from a tasty bread, preferably one with a nice crust. add the four layers, being sure to salt and pepper the tomato.

enjoy this seriously good sandwich.

and of course use this to your heart's content*.

* your real heart may not like it so much, but that's what exercise is for... to work off your foodie habits.

chocolate covered marshmallows

kristin made these wonderful treats over the holidays, and then again the other night. they're salty and sweet and my goodness are they tasty.you'll need:

marshmallows
dark chocolate
coarse sea salt
toothpics

melt dark chocolate in a double boil. stick large marshmallows with wooden toothpics and dip them in the chocolate. set out on a sheet of wax paper and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

sorry, no picture... we ate them to fast.
