Inaugeraltinis


On the kind of epic day we had in history yesterday, Karen and I felt inspired to create an inauguraltini (also may double as our new 4th July Tini and Bastilledaytini etc)

Red and White sugar rim, blueberry vodka and champagne (you can splash blueberry juice in too) drop in some blueberries....presto patriotism!

I also made some Mulligatawny stew. Nothing like good old fashioned British imperialism food to usher in a new president!

1 large onion chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
(saute together)
add 3 tablespoon curry (Sweet Curry from Penzey's recommended)
1/2 tsp black pepper
(saute a bit)
add 2 15 oz can diced tomatoes
2 large peeled apples chopped
1 large sweet potato 1 inch chunks
4 large carrots chopped
2 celery sticks chopped
6-8 cans chicken broth
4 sliced chicken breasts
(simmer till yummy anywhere from 15 min to 1 hour)

Note on inauguration ceremony: Jamey pointed out that the classical music selection reminded him of walking the fields in Oblivion. I had to agree. Also, I don't recommend taking a drink every time Obama says "we".
