| Blini's with Caviar |
Happy New Year! If I was a serious blogger, I would have had this post up pre New Year's but I was too busy drinking champagne. That said, who says that blini's or caviar or champagne have to be for a special occasion? I say, if your kids are not around, that is reason enough to celebrate.
A note on the champagne. My significant other likes to remind me that although Verve Clicquot is excellent and their marketing team has been brilliant, it is not the only fantastic champagne in circulation. There are many other excellent choices. Yum. Also, bubbly is best with something salty. One of my favorite champagne accompaniments is french fries. Yes, french fries. That or potato chips, the above salty caviar or smoked salmon, cheese straws, cheese puffs...you get the picture. If you can, make the appetizers yourself. Everything tastes so much better when it is not bought pre-packaged from the middle aisles.
The blini recipe is from Ina Garten and you can find it here. I also used the crème fraîche and dill in her recipe but substituted caviar for the smoked salmon, which I was able to buy from Costco for a small fortune.
