In May we held a Spanish theamed feast at Mark and Kim's loft, which was a grand meal. The June dinner was a grilling extravaganza that definitely did not disappoint! In order catch up with the back log of food photos and recipes I'll be posting regularly over the next few weeks with the hopes of catching up by the end of July.
And just to wet your blogging palates a bit, I thought I'd start with a few cocktails, including Kim's delicious white sangria from the Spanish feast and a vodka/lemon/rosemary drink that won much acclaim at the Flanders/Church going-away party. Enjoy!

1 cup peach liquer
2 cups seltzer water

sliced kiwi
any other fruit of choice!
