After letting you all decide our fate for this week’s Global Table in polls, I am happy to present the menu – your menu. Each item won lovingly – with no close seconds. These are nibbles for rainy days, sunny days, and everything in between. You’ll use your grill and your blender. You’ll open wide and you’ll dance on the roof.

Well, maybe not on the last item… but you should.

When was the last time you danced like a cat on a hot tin roof?

Are you ready for Mexico?

Cool off with this creamy drink made with rice, almond, and regular milks, cinnamon, vanilla extract and up to a bushel of beautiful juicy strawberries.
