Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!
This is my favorite stuffing.
You’re welcome.
Okay, so let’s keep it short and sweet.
Because you’re either prepping.
Or drinking cocktails.
Or both. Because drinking is the best part of the preparation, right? Add this carrot shrub cocktail to your line-up, folks. I served it last month at my Autumn pop-dinner. The tarragon was from my garden and it adds just the right amount of herbaceous-ness to the mix. A little bit of vodka and gin and bubbles and you’re ready to go. Or keep it non-alcoholic by mixing it with sparkling water.
Thank you to everyone who came out for Autumn at Urban Matter‘s dreamy outdoor space. My next meal will take place in January. More on this soon – I hope to see you there. In the meantime you can check out my past events here.
