When it comes to cocktails, by no means does frozen translate to frilly. In fact, one hot spot in the Midwest has a menu of high-end, rock star cocktails all served frozen. Inspired by the heat and in a toast to the 4th of July, this week we decided to follow suit and take the gin and tonic, that most sublime summertime sip, to the frozen side of cocktails.

“Cilantro, mint and a hint of spice make this a magnificent chutney that would go great with lamb. I had searched everywhere for this recipe. The stars aligned one day and I not only found a fabulous house to rent, but a landlord who knew how to make Mint Chutney! This is Roselyn’s recipe.”
Happy 4th of July, folks! Here in the States it’s a long three-day weekend with sparklers, watermelon, grilled burgers, and plenty of sun. Does that sound like your weekend plan? I’ll be lazing about and hunting for some good peaches. What’s cooking in your kitchen (or on your grill!) this weekend? We have a few holiday treats coming your way tomorrow, and here are some last-minute 4th of July favorites, too:
Q: I am getting my first apartment and I can’t wait. I’ve never had an empty kitchen, though. I read your post about basic pots and pans, but what about spices and herbs? What is the bare minimum to have? What’s an ideal, fully stocked, spice pantry?

“Frozen yogurt made with pears and spiced with cinnamon and allspice.”
At one time or another we’ve all added something tasty to give our plan ‘ol glass of water or fizzy seltzer a little boost. A squeeze of lemon or lime, a few slices of cucumber, perhaps a few sprigs of mint.
This summer try something a little different. Cool off your drinks and add a hint of fresh flavor with melon ball ice cubes.
