Shirley Tempers for New Year's Eve

By

After the boys went to Jakey's birthday party and had Shirley Temples, they have been asking
if I can make "Shirley Tempers." I guess that's what it sounded like to them. Okay, I'm game...

So for New Year's Eve, I made Homemade Grenadine. And we whipped up our own version of the mocktail without 7-Up. But R did insist on having "party cherries."


Ingredients
  • Homemade Grenadine
  • ginger syrup
  • freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • sparkling water
  • ice cubes
  • maraschino cherries

Procedure
I am not providing proportions because each of us made our own versions.

Pour syrups into a glass. Add in as much lemon juice as you would like. Add in the ice cubes and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine the liquids. Garnish with a cherry.

    I remember ordering Shirley Temples at restaurants my folks took me to when I was a kid, but I remember them as just cherry flavored 7-UP so I'm fascinated by your ingredient list.

      I really had no idea what was in it. Both boys told me something different. I knew there was grenadine. Beyond that, R wanted lemon and cherries; D wanted ginger. Maybe the restaurant they went to used ginger ale. I have no clue. But these were tasty.

    All the grands call these "special drinks" and ask Uncle Frank for one the minute they walk in the door....unless they are asking for malts.....another one of his specialties.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
