We present our variation of a classic cocktail that made its debut in the 1980s, the Fuzzy Navel. It's fitting that this version comes from Bartender Magazine, since Wikipedia credits its founder Ray Foley with having created it.
If you've never had one, be warned that it is made for someone with a serious sweet tooth. Enjoy!

The weather continues to be hot here in Richmond so we are offering another way to add cold fruit to your menu. This dairy-free sorbet is a light, refreshing way to make use of the fruits of summer here in the U.S.
For the best results, the recipe calls for fresh fruit, so be sure to plan for the time required to freeze the fruit. Pre-frozen fruit can be substituted if necessary.
Greek Spinach Salad is a refreshing dish for a hot summer day. Prepare the spinach ahead of time by washing and storing it in plastic bags. The cucumbers can be pre-marinated in the dressing, which gives them an additional zest. Feta cheese, an important ingredient in many Greek dishes, is added both to the greens and to the dressing. Pine nuts top the salad as a garnish. Serve with crusty French bread and chilled white wine.
