We began the cocktail hour with my signature cocktail....
A Pink Pirate
I made the BEST crab dip...it was the hit of the party
This will be on the holiday menu for sure!
And, dinner was my barbecue shrimp,
served with corn on the cob and a hot crispy baguette!

Our sweet ending was a delightful pineapple sherbet!
This is divine for summer...an old Southern Living recipe..
4 cups scalded milk, cooled
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup crushed pineapple
Mix all ingredients and then freeze!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are looking lovely, so no need to worry about age.
106 degrees! How do you stand living with that amount of heat?
A/C I know. But I get weary of living all closed up, with A/C, the few days, we absolutely have to use it.
Really, just wondering.....
