The sizzle continues!
We had a wonderful day with my BFF, Helen and her husband, Ron, who drove up from Sandy, OR and spent the night. Such a whole load of fun in the sun! (And shade….)
Those are Crantinis we’re drinking. It’s pretty much the Helen-and-Tonya Go-To Cocktail. (It’s also known as a Metropolitan).
For two:
In a shaker with ice, add 3 ounces of vodka (Absolut Citron); 1 ounce of Grand Marnier; a splash of lime juice; and 4 ounces of cranberry juice (I use Ocean Spray “diet” because it isn’t so sicky-sweet but still has lots of tarty flavor).
Shake really well and pour into martini glasses. It’s refreshing and incredibly delicious!
When that’s gone, make another one!
Food! Oh, we had marvelous food! So marvelous that I didn’t take any pictures of it. Dinner was grilled marinated rib-eyes, berry salad, crash hot potatoes, grilled veggies and corn on the cob, and burgundy mushrooms and crusty bread. Just wow.
Then there was this!
Followed by our neighbors’ annual gobsmacking fireworks show.
It was heavenly, and hard to see Helen and Ron leave late this morning. But, they have kitties and chickens who needed tending.
This entire beach was BUSY all day yesterday, with boaters and jet skiers and kayakers and swimmers and partiers. Today?
It’s almost like the apocalypse came!
