"married with dinner" news and stories

Yesterday afternoon, I thought idly about heading down to the Wine and Spirits shop to pick up a bottle of something bubbly. As McCain conceded to Obama's unarguable victory, I wished that I had followed through with that fleeting though, as a glass of champagne or sparkling wine would have topped off the historic night nicely.

However, from what I've heard, most of you were far more motivated than I to ensure that you had a celebratory tipple last night. If you're still feeling the pain, one way to cure your aching head is with a glass of Brandy Milk Punch. Anita of Married with Dinner has posted a simple, soothing recipe. If you don't need it today, keep it one bookmarked for future mornings after.

The results are in for May's edition of DMBLGiT (Does My Blog Look Good in This) and two very deserving winners are sharing first place.

Jaden of Steamy Kitchen submitted her gorgeous Tropical Island Salmon, pictured above. Seasoned, slow-cooked salmon served on a bed of sliced orange and onions, finished with fresh herbs and a razor-thin slice of orange for garnish.

And, Anita of Married ...with dinner shared first place honors with her beautiful submission of Spring-Green Soup (pictured, right) which includes a fresh dollop of lemon crème fraiche and droplets of chive oil. She finished her presentation with an edible flower, which compliments the soup beautifully.

The full list of winners for each category including Edibility, Originality, and Aesthetics can be found at RealEpicurean.com. Congratulations to all the winners!
