Summer Summer Summertime!

By the middle of June in Southeast Texas, we are already tired of the heat and know that the worst is yet to come. The only consistent weather pattern we have is HEAT- heat with rain, heat without rain, heat with a hurr....(I think it is bad luck to even say that 8-lettered 'H' word). But even if we have one, it will still be destruction with a side of heat. Besides staying in the a/c, I like to surround myself with cool colors and cooler drinks. My new obsession is sangria. I am on a quest to make some this week. I am not extremely knowledgeable about wine in general. I just drink what I like, something light and fruity and not dry at all. Moscato is at the top of my list. Now that I think about it, that describes how I order most drinks.....margaritas, vodka and cranberry or pineapple juice, wedding cake martini etc. Back to the sangria, I have begun researching different recipes and the best fruits to use. And the best part ....drinking any mistakes. I will let you know how it turns out.
