Snowflake Marshmallows

Whether you are looking to cozy up with your children and watch a movie or to enjoy some alone time reading a book, add these to a hot beverage; they're awesome! They're a whimsical take on the classic marshmallow. Make a cup of hot cocoa for the kids or add a new twist to the classic Irish Coffee or a new cocktail mentioned in the link below. Warm up sitting in front of the fire and enjoy. They can be purchased at: http://www.shopterrain.com/holiday-preview/snowflake-marshmallows

What's Old Is New Again

Tired of your old stand by champagne flutes? Need to freshen up the look of that glass of Prosecco? In an age of "Re-Purposing", I just love this idea. Hit up your parents, grandparents, great aunt or uncle. Ask if you can borrow a set of champagne glasses for this look or if they're even willing to part with them. It's old school redoux. This look is all the rage, a throw back to the old "Speak Easy". If no one is willing to part with their set, you can purchase a pair at Terrain or probably even a second hand store. Then cut up a ruby red grapefruit into wedges. Take a wedge, cut in half and run along rim of glass & then dip into a small shallow bowl of sugar, to quaintly coat rims of glasses. Pour glass of Champagne, Prosecco, Cava or any other bubbly you prefer and finish off with a wedge of grapefruit on rim. Cheers!
