Few of my favorites from the this past weekend...
For Ladies First Friday, we held our affair at Brooklyn Winery where I discovered Hell Or Heigh Watermelon beer (Yes, it was a winery with a great selection of beers too!). You can see the full collection of patriotic illustrations from
21st Amendment Brewery. Lady Liberty looks quite relaxed on the Golden Gate Bridge with a boatload of watermelons at hand. The beer was as refreshing as it sounds.
A friend of mine made the 'very' American dessert: chocolate wafer cream cake with strawberries to top off the occasion, dont worry, pie also made an appearance. Although not a Budweiser drinker myself, I couldn't resist their bold American design for Independence Day, simply elegant. Crown die cut on the red tab was a nice touch.
Last but not least, the sandwich I was looking forward to making when my co-worker informed me she was having a bbq and a charcoal grill would be present.
Large portobello mushroom grilled for 5 mins on each side, layered over avocado, beets marinated in balsamic vinegar, feta cheese and some freshly picked basil. This might be my best creation yet!
