   Susan and I filmed and uploaded another video to The Gathering Place podcast. In it we share how to make a new drink— ‘A Pistachio Moment’. Pistachios have become a favorite, especially in winter and early March. It is used in perfumes, colognes, other fragrances and even mixed with coffee and served as lattes. So I made an orginal drink the other evening. My wife Susan said, “You can make this anytime!”

Another popular thing is Charcuterie (pronounced char + que  + ter + ee). Charcuterie is often a combination of meats, fruits, nuts and cheeses and etc. served as appetizers on a wooden board.  To really make something even more special, I added pear wood chips and cinnamon and smoked both ‘A Pistachio Moment’ and our charcuterie.

‘Aperol Spritz & Ham Slam Sammichs’

   Susan and I filmed and uploaded another video to The Gathering Place podcast. In it we share how to make a new drink— ‘Aperol Spritz’. This is a favorite drink in Italy. Its unique bittersweet taste is derived from a secret and original recipe. It is a fusion of orange, herbs and roots in a perfectly balanced combination. It’s alcohol content is abouts 11%, which is lower than most spirit drinks, but very close to that of wine. It has a bright orange color. The classical Aperol Spritz is traditionally made as follows:

• Fill a white wine glass with ice
• Pour 3 parts of Prosecco (I do not like prosecco, so I use another sweet white wine)
• Followed by 2 parts of Aperol
• And 1 splash of soda
• Garnish with an orange slice

In this video, I also make what I call, ‘Ham Slam Sammichs’ (sandwiches). It uses ham, cheese, nice hearty bread, horseradish, fresh spinach leaves or spring mix and the real secret is red currant jam. Grill it and have an Aperol Spritz beforehand or while makimg it and why not, when you eat and enjoy it!
