DAY 182: GOURMET SOCIAL CLUB

So today was the 3rd meeting of the gourmet social club. It is basically a book club for food. We meet basically once a month and cook for each other and then award a winner for the best food/drink cooked. Prior to meeting, we set guidelines to what we are all to prepare. This time around we were to prepare a cocktail of our choice and then cook a meal whether dessert, appetizer, or main dish that included corn flakes, lemon or lime and an herb starting with the letter s. This proved to be the most interesting challenge. Who knew that there were so many things that you could do with corn flakes. I decided to make a strawberry basil balsamic martini and as an appetizer I made coconut corn flaked shrimp with a mango salsa. Turned out great. I left tonight feeling stuffed with a slight buzz. There are 9 of us in the club so you can image 9 cocktails and I am flying high. Well off to bed for me. I am meeting with JC tomorrow morning. Looks like I will have to burn off all that liquor. Till tomorrow.
