Coral Reef ~ Creamy Lobster Soup

I did have the pleasure of eating at the Coral Reef restaurant in Epcot. Let me tell you it was some of the most amazing food I have ever had. With the colder months approaching us I thought this would be a good one to share!

What you'll need:

32 ounces Milk

4 ounces Butter

4 ounces Flour

1 tbsp. Paprika

2 ounces Lobster or Chicken Base

1 pinch Cayenne Pepper

12 ounces Lobster Stock

2 ounces Sherry

2 ounces Lobster Meat (diced)

1/2 ounce Brandy

3 ounces Heavy Cream

1 pinch Chervil or Parsley

Create:

Heat milk, but do not boil.

Melt butter and then add paprika and flour.

Bake roux mixture in a 350-degree oven for approximately one hour.

Heat lobster stock and sherry, then add lobster base and cayenne pepper to the lobster stock mixture.

Then add the heated milk to this mixture.

Add roux. Mix until it is well incorporated and thickens.

Let simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook out the roux.

To finish soup, flame lobster meat in brandy, add heavy cream and allow to simmer.

Add mixture to soup and whisk in.

Finish with fresh chervil or parsley.

Dried herbs may be used but add sooner.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
