Summer Friends, Family & Frivolity (June 7 – June 13, 2015)

Summer journeys are a focus for bon voyage parties and summer chilled soups are perfect for entertaining. Any melon, pureed and strained, serves the purpose. (I like to add a touch of fruit nectar and a 1/2 cup of condensed milk to flavor the puree.) Reach a higher creativity level by enhancing the presentation. A drop of honey in the bottom each bowl will hold an edible floral arrangement in place as the chilled soup is poured around the cluster. Another stunning presentation is to carve interesting designs into the melon and serve the soup inside the melon bowl. If ceramic or glass bowls are used, coordinated the collection with the table setting and place a saucer under each bowl… Remember the soup etiquette rule: The spoonful is pushed to the back rim of the bowl and then placed into one’s mouth, with each bite. Enjoy your friends, family & frivolity – it’s your summer sunshine! © Kelly McBride Loft
