The cover page is titled Dog Daze of Summer:
A dozen dogs, dressed to thrill
with everything from grilled pineapple to kimchi.
It's all about the Hot Dog!
It may not appear to be vegetarian friendly, but there are great Veggie Dogs on the market and I happen to like them.
However, I chose not to post every way recommended to "dress up" a Hot Dog.
As I continued perusing the recipes, I chose to post this recipe for Righteous Rum Punch.
This was shared by Alicia Ross of the Kitchen Scoop section of the paper.
I thought it looked interesting.
She talks about the super sweet pink rum punch of the '70's and then continues to write about how she came up with a trendy new twist on her old favorite party punch.
Righteous Rum Punch:
1/2 C light rum
1/4 C dark rum
2 TBS coconut rum
1 1/4 C unsweetened pineapple juice
1 1/4 C orange juice
2 TBS key lime juice
Ice for serving
Fresh fruit garnish ( optional)
Mix all ingredients together in a small pitcher.
Serve over ice with fruit garnish, if desired.
Make 4 servings
Enjoy!
