Quiet tonight, and hope you all had a great day. Temp in high 70's today, clear and sunny with light winds, got lots done and time to relax.
Tonight we'll head back to So, Fla.
Let's start with , Vodka-Oyster shooters:
9 oz. tomato juice
1 tsp horseradish,( I would add more)
2 tsps. pepper
18 oz vodka,( your choice)
12 lg. raw oysters
2 lemons, each cut into 6 pcs.
Place tomato juice, horseradish, and pepper into blender, pulse to mix thoughly. Pour 3/4 oz mix and 1.5 oz vodka into a glass. Add 1 oyster, and squeeze lemon slice....down the hatch. Recipe serves 12
LOBSTER LOUIS;
Fla. lobster meat, chunked
shredded lettuce
Asperagus spears
Tomato wedges
Black olives
Eggs, hard boiled and quartered
sliced cucumber
Louis dressing.....( a mix of 2 parts mayo, one part chilli sauce,and a little sweet pickle relish)
S and P
Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for about 3 min., set aside. Cover bottom of single-serve salad bowl with lettuce. Mound the chunks of lobster meat on top of the lettuce. Arrange the other ingredients, be artistic, around the bowl, add S and P, and pour Louis Sauce over the top. Serve with crackers.
To cleanse the pallet, and end the meal, have a bowl of chunked cantaloupe, watermelom, and fresh strawberries.
Going back to lurking for a while, see you all later..........Gary
