Fred~

Not Frédérick,one of our DSIL's..but Fred..
I've mentioned this trademark name before.. the little finger appetizer plates?

I think the little Ring Bling I received as a gift is the same make too:)
I blame this aquisition on Ricardo ..and my meeting his stylist that fateful day in one of Montreal's coolest little stores..Motivo

I had seen them in the latest issue of Ricardo..and there they were..and then I was chatting with the nice young man stylist and he said they were cool too..no pun intended~:)
So..they came home with us..
I am going to make a lovely pom granita one day(Thank you!)..
But today I tried a small.. shrimp cocktail for avant~ lunch:)


It's a cloudy miz day here.. so I thought a little sunshine in the form of coral would help..

A little spot of homemade cocktail sauce..and some lemon grass..I like cocktail sauce so much I use it as dressing too..
It's the horseradish etc..

The sauce stays cool.. the shrimp do too..
I just think the shooters are too cute.
Any additional ideas would be appreciated~

Ricardo suggested using them as real shooters for outdoor winter drinks here.
It's always cold enough for them to retain their shape..
They remind me of my winter ice lanterns..
I saw in this issue of Food And Drink.. new larger ice molds with different serving suggestions are now available through a different company.They looked really nice also.
