It's a toss-up between hummus and tzatziki, either one with some fresh hot pita!

Snapshots from the UK: Elderflower: Pressé, Collins, and Jell-O

Just last week I found Elderflower Pressé at World Market! I'd never tried it before but am enchanted with it. I'm intrigued by the Collins or sorbet idea...

So, What Did You Make?

Starters:
- cheese plate (Humboldt Fog, Fromage D'affinois, Cypress Grove Midnight Moon, Rogue River Blue)
- pickled okra (the last jar left from this summer)
- rosemary roasted nuts (Union Square Cafe cookbook)
Dinner:
- wonderfully moist & delicious Earl Grey-brined grilled turkey (epicurious)
- salad of baby greens, mixed citrus, picholine olives, and chevre
- oyster dressing (Dad's family tradition, Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing as base)
- roasted brussels sprouts, carrots, golden beets, pearl onions with bacon vinaigrette
- mashed potatoes
- cranberry-apricot chutney
- parker house rolls with cranberry butter (NY Times)
Dessert:
- Kahlua pecan pie (my parent's specialty, from the Kahlua recipe book!)
- tart tatin
- homemade vanilla-ginger ice cream

My husband & I hosted our families for the first time - managed a delicious meal and a lovely day with family!

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

I'll have to agree with fried egg as unexpectedly good on pizza -- especially along with a salty topping like calamata olives.

My favorite unusual topping combo is pineapple, feta, and banana peppers. It's got it all: sweet, salty, and hot. Mmm!
