New recipe, May 17, 2013

We attended Project Angelheart's Art for Life fundraiser, to we had a new cocktail this evening.

Goldminer's Cocktail, from Cowboy Cocktails by Grady Spears and Brigit L Binns. This has too much vermouth for us--we give it a 2.

Tonight's new recipe is Herbed Shrimp and White Bean Salad from the August 2012 Cooking Light. This is very easy and flavorful--the red onion we had is pretty hot, so it is a bit too dominant. Defiring it a bit with a rinse in cold water would have been helpful. It gets a 3.5.
Wine: finished the 2005 Michel Langlois Coteaux du Giennois
Mark spent Martin Luther King Day volunteering at Project Angel Heart. They provide meals for 850 clients with life threatening illnesses in the metro area, and with their recent move to a new space, they hope to quadruple that! Let's just say it takes a lot of cabbage to feed 850 people! A day there gave me new appreciation for the tremendous work they do!
