“Eye” See You Charcuterie Board

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Fabulous Fixings: “Eye” See You Charcuterie Board! I honestly could not resist buying two hand blown shot glasses featuring an eyeball in the bottom, made by a local artist. What a conversation starter when giving a toast. For instance: “Here’s mud in your eye!” Or “I’ve got my eye on you!” Or “Here’s looking at you, kid.” Maybe you can come up with a phrase familiar to you. No matter how you say “Cheers”, it always means “Let’s get this party started.” Carry On.

Nacho Daddy in Las Vegas, Nevada

Dining Outside the Home: Nacho Daddy in Las Vegas, Nevada! What’s not to love about a Mexican restaurant whose name is Nacho Daddy with a slogan of “Never a Dry Chip”. The name alone sounds like a party. Peruse the menu to find a list of incredible nacho combinations smothered in cheesy queso and spicy salsa. But the challenge doesn’t end there. Nacho Daddy double-dog dares you to sling back an original Scorpion Shot, which is actually served with a real scorpion in the tequila glass.
