The timing seemed quite right when just a week before my roommate and I move out (still a month before I leave Austin, so yeah I get to move 2 times) a friend of Katie’s (roommate) came to visit. Before he moved we would get together and share our love of food. It was something I always looked forward to. So with him in town I couldn’t resist the suggestion that we do a little dinner party.

The food was a bit more random than other parties we’ve had but we enjoyed it no less. We ate cheeses (even a freshly made ricotta), some meats, roasted carrots, stuffed peppedews, fruit and nuts with honey, and fig spread with bread. The honey, I should mention,was  rather unique as it was put into the container you see by the bees themselves. Not just the honeycomb but the actual container. Pretty cool huh? I had been waiting for just the right time to try it. It was obviously a hit!

A little later on we had a blind gin tasting since we realized we had 3 different kinds of gin in our house. Weird. I was the only one to get guess all 3 correctly. Hmm… Then I brought out the fruit and mint mini frozen pops I made. The could have been sweeter but I enjoyed them.
