Dinner Party! {and my fav cookbook from my Junior League days}
I cognizant of I have not been keeping up with shopping and outfit posts very well lately... truthfully it's been such hot, busy summer that I am just throwing on the thinnest, lightest trivial dress or some-such that I can - and wearing flip-flops, with a ponytail - so nothing interesting enough to even get a quick snap... plus the ride out is making me a little crabby, I will admit. Once we cool off a bit I will be back to thinking about clothes & shoes & accessories & jewelry...
On a fun note though, we had a spoonful dinner party last week with some friends and I made two of my favorite recipes from my all-time-favorite-cookbook (and I love to buy cookbooks) St. Louis Days St. Louis Nights. I bought some copies of this when we lived in St. Louis and I was a associate of the Junior League there. It's a wonderful organization with a beautiful facility and important charitable programs. Oh, and some of the best cinnamon rolls ever!
But back to the cookbook: legitimately, just some of the best recipes: Southern Prize Shrimp Dip, Honey-Almond Brie, Apricot Chicken Consecrated, Carrot and Zucchini Casserole...
For this dinner, I made JLSL's Crostini with Roasted Red Pepper Spread and Peppery Shrimp. Wonderful easy and delish... my interpretation here of the recipe for the shrimp isn't so exact but it doesn't need to be - variations have all turned out rattling for me:
Crostini with Roasted Red Pepper Spread...
