If the word “golf” is synonymous with “wine pairing dinner” for you, get thee to Fleming’s steakhouse for their “Legends of Golf” wine dinner this Friday, June 4. It begins at 6:30 p.m. and costs $55 per person. Each diner will be treated to a course paired with a wine produced by one of three golfer/vintners Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman and Ernie Els. Dishes include Beef Tenderloin and Brie Tartine, Seared Bay Scallops with Wasabi sauce, a Grilled Bison Ribeye with Fresh Herb Chimichurri and a Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake. For more information or reservations, call 393.0811.
Margaritas are wonderful in the summertime, but if you’re using one of those pre-made mixes to make ’em, you’re adding unnecessary calories and unwanted ingredients. Invest in some agave nectar the next time you’re at the grocery store (it’ll be in the health food section or baking aisle near the sugar). It’s very low in calories and, since it’s made from the same plant as the tequila you’re drinking, will add that extra something to your cocktail. Here’s a simple recipe:
1 1/2 oz tequila (white/blanco is good, but any
will work)
1 oz FRESH lime juice, not that crap in the bottle
3/4 oz agave nectar
Splash of sparkling water, if desired
Mix and serve over ice.
Bonus drink: substitute rum for the tequila, shake well and you’ve got a daiquiri.
