250 years of Independence and the Weekly Menu

 

250 Anniversary

I remember 1976, when we were celebrating our country's 200th anniversary.  I was so excited and proud to be an American.  I was a young adult and had just had my second child, my son, Chuck.  His room was decorated in Red, White, and Blue.  Our country was recovering from the Watergate scandal, and we had great hopes for the future.

North Carolina Recap and the Weekly Menu

We were barely home from our vacation in Greece when we repacked and headed to North Carolina for a long weekend.  We started our adventure on Thursday, heading to a hotel near the airport because we had an early-morning flight on Friday.

Friends at Dinner

We met up with Jim and Sharon, and then went to Leonardo's for dinner, where we reviewed information for a Vietnam tour, provided by our Travel Agent, Denise of Travel Tiger Vacations

The Rangoon Ruby and a Book Review

This iconic drink was made popular by Trader Vic's during the 1960's and is similar to the Cape Codder or the current-day Vodka and Cranberry. The Rangoon Ruby was documented in Trader Vic's Pacific Island Cookbook.

I first heard about this cocktail while reading The Island Club by Nicola Harrison.
