The Girl’s Holiday Dinner

Last weekend I had a great opportunity to prepare a six course meal for a group of gals who converged on Rehoboth for a Holiday shopping extravaganza. The soup was a huge hit and I promised to post the recipe…..coming soon! This turned out to be a well balanced menu and was really well received by the girls. The Absolut New Orleans Punch was also a big hit. This is my new favorite libation due to the Mango and Black Pepper Vodka created by Absolut. Absolut New Orleans also is a charitable contribution, so buy some today!
