another hot and humid nyc summer evening - a day AND night at the beach certainly would have been a refreshing way to spend this sunday supper. but despite the weather, it was a festive and full of food!
started off with some garlicky fava spread and tropical agave roasted cashews...
...but perhaps much more importantly a giant batch of thirst-quenching and absolutely delicious dark-and-stormys.
as it goes, friends and food arrived and it was most certainly time to eat, drink and be oh so happy!
