Come On-a My House, My House

This past weekend Brad and I were fortunate to have some wonderful friends stay with us for a few days as we all enjoyed the glory that is Keeneland and just being with people you truly enjoy.


We have a big house party coming up in June and we were playing with mixing cocktails we might like to serve while we had a crew here for tasting. Brad really liked this concoction that we ended up calling 'Tribal Bitch' because it is based on a drink called 'South Carolina Bitch'.

If you want to give it a try here's the recipe:

Tribal Bitch
using a 2.5 oz shot

1 1/2 shot Hpnotiq
1 shot Cruzan Coconut Rum
1/2 shot Cruzan Pineapple Rum
1/2 shot Red Bull

Pour each into a shaker about 1/2 full of crushed ice. Shake gently then strain into shot glasses or a serving glass(with ice). Makes 4-5 shots or 2 drinks


I cooked three pounds of bacon this past weekend. That's right--THREE POUNDS OF BACON--a pound each day. The last day the best part of it was wrapped around a mess of Tater Tots.

If you haven't had bacon wrapped tots you simply must. Seriously. I have made this pic my first food porn entry.

I found this recipe on Bacon Unwrapped. I've made it a few times and I assure you it will be a favorite appetizer any time you serve it.

Bacon Wrapped Tots

I bag Extra Crispy Tater Tots
1 lb bacon(plus)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Cut the bacon strips into thirds then cut the thirds in half lengthwise. Wrap each Tot with a piece of bacon and place on an ungreased heavy cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until tots are done and bacon is crispy.

You might need more than a pound of bacon if you are doing a whole bag of tots.

I sprinkled the tots with some Uncle Lou's Corruption. All I can say is that the chicks dug it--big time.

I can't wait til next time.
