Well, I got lucky last night. No...not like that! My aspiring personal chef cousin, called me a little after noon and asked if I would come help her with dinner. She was tackling Risotto for the first time ever and was very nervous. She did all the research and prep, and I mostly just offered… MORE

Cosmo-Style Pomegranate Martini
Amazing. Didn't change a thing. It is the first martini I've ever made. I've made them 3 times in 2 weeks.I know, I know, 3 times? I feel like it's good for me with the pom juice! I add a sugar rim. I always love a sugar rim, but that's just my preference. It's not too sweet or too strong, and it goes down pretty easy, so be cautious. It's a beautiful color and would be great at Christmas or Valentines Day.

Kettle Corn
I'm so excited, it's possible I'm still on a sugar high from the 2 batches of kettle corn I just ate! I made some for movie night for my family, and we loved it so much I made three batches for a pre-fourth of July party. Everyone LOVED it and asked for the recipe. I felt guilty eating it, but was reassured with the fiber content in the corn itself. I liked how crispy and crunchy it was. And the pieces were easy to break apart when a few did stick. I also liked how every piece was covered with the sugar mixture. I did add the 1/4 teaspoon salt in with the sugar during cooking. I used a large cast iron pot. I have an electric stove and shook and swirled the entire time, removing pot from heat occasionally. I didn't burn any and it was my first time ever making popcorn. It was way way better than any overpriced bag at a farmer's market. I too splurged on the more expensive Orville Red. popcorn. Thanks Sue, I will bring this tasty snack to ALL my summer pool parties.***I just made this again, except this time with brown sugar, hoping for caramel corn. I was disappointed, the sugar just didn't cook the same, but the kids still ate it. Still, I won't make it that way again.
