a lovely thought

How perfectly lovely would it be to treat yourself to a glass of rosé sangria tonight while simultaneously dunking chilled, gargantuan shrimp into a bowl of mint and dill flecked tzatziki? And let's place this fantasy on a rooftop at sunset. When the city heat begins to dissipate and you're left, at long last, with a moment of pure comfort outside. A deep exhale. A schlump back in your seat. And a cheers to the lucky guy or gal sitting next to you.

God I love fantasizing. Because it almost always inevitably ends up coming to fruition. Persistence pays, my friends. Always.

Rosé Sangria

Add sliced peaches, orange, lime, strawberries (whatever looks good), a sprinkle of sugar, and a glug of Triple Sec to a large pitcher. Fill the rest of the pitcher up with dry rosé. Allow to groove for a little while. Serve over ice and top each glass off with a little seltzer water.
