Visitors!

Last weekend Abby and Kellen drove their new car all the way down to see me! We had a great weekend going to Harry Potter and hanging out in the pool. This is what I made them for their welcoming feast when they got here at 1 AM!

I tried these new jello shots in the rinds of fruit. Here are my original pairings : 3AM vodka with passion fruit jello in oranges, Sweet Tea Vodka with lemon jello in lemons and Don Q Limon Rum with lime jello in limes. They didn't all really work out because each type made more jello than I thought. I ended up with mostly the passion fruit and some lemon and lime. The lime however was not very good. The others worked pretty well.

To make them I sliced the fruit in half and emptied out all the inside so just the rind was left as a bowl. I put each rind half in a cup cake pan and filled each to the brim with jello then put it in the fridge until they hardened. Once they were ready I sliced them as you would the fruit normally. They can be seen in the last picture.

I also made little steaks with goat gouda cheese basil and raisins rolled together, little potatoes, and a smores pie.

The pie was a little messy but definitely a recipe keeper!

Here is everything I made for the guests! (jello shots, potatoes, steak rolls, and smores pie)

The hat I knitted for Abby and will be seen better in the next post.

I think it was a fun welcome feast and a wonderful weekend! I'm so glad they came to visit!!
