"Pimm's" Me

Last week was Ryan and Kristin's turn to cook. Let's just say they did NOT disappoint. Since they cooked, I don't have all the recipes to share. But once, I do get them from Ryan/Kristin, I will upload them. :)

• Cooking Couple: Ryan & Kristin
• Ingredients: Mango, Fritos, Beer, and Canned Corn
• Special Guest Judges: Sara S, Daley Y, and Christi Z

Drinks

Kristin made a Pimm's cocktail. Pimm is a gin-based liquor, when mixed with juice and fruit, it makes a mighty fine cocktail.

Pimm's Recipe:

• Pimm's No. 1 (1/2 bottle, Ha!) 
• Cran-Raspberry juice (4 cups)
• orange slices
• strawberries
• cucumber slices (easy on cucumber, strong taste)
• Mango Slices

Mix Pimm's and juice proportional to taste in a large bowl/pitcher. Add sliced fruit and let sit for at least an hour in the refrigerator.


There was also a nice selection of wine to choose from.

Entree

For their entree, Kristin and Ryan made a Panko-crusted Tilapia covered with a mango-mint cream sauce atop a bed of creamed corn. There were also Frito crusted onion rings and a spicy garlic aioli. Let's just say...WINNING.

Dessert

For dessert, there were white beer cookies topped with little spoonfuls of ice cream goodness. The flavors of ice creams used were: coconut-chocolate chip, a la port, and denali moose track. Nom, Nom, Nom.

It was another AMAZING meal shared with great friends! There's nothing like knowing that at least once a week, we will be eating well. :) Now, as for this week, Alex and I have these four ingredients to work with: Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Coconut, and Red Vines. Game on...HA!
