Food of the Week

Cocktails are no longer just a pre-dinner drink. Bartenders are mixing food-friendly creations that can be sipped from starter to dessert.
The De Russie cocktail at Rocco Forte's Hotel de Russie, via del Babuino 9, Rome (0800 988 4040; roccofortecollection.com), made from Russian vodka and dry sherry, comes with a portion of caviar.
In the seven-course Ultimate Rum Dinner at Elbow Beach, 60 South Shore Road, Paget Parish, Bermuda (001 441 236 3535; mandarinoriental. com), baked black grouper fillet might be paired with a Dark 'n' Stormy made with rum and ginger beer.

Never mixed my liquor with food, drinks were before or after and after and after and after, that is one reason I quit, was the afters got to be more than the befores.

My husband is a beer guy. I have never cared for beer. I have tried it ... don't like it.

Beer is good if I am doing something on the smoker, but normally my adult beverage of choice is a nice glass of a good wine. I don't much care for distilled spirits.

Wine is my favorite. But I do enjoy a good Margarita with Mexican food.
