♦♦♦ I’m guessing many of us have made roll-up appetizers. Crescent rolls, wonton wrappers, and puff pastry are all good for this purpose. But Molly Yeh has a different take, a welcome technique that takes care of all the filling at once, and apportions it equally. Yes! While the spinach and feta rugelach she’s making here looks darn good, our own creative variations are just waiting to check in. A demo reveals all. 🍕🍕 = clue Food Network

♦♦♦ Five main claims to fame define this new line of mixers – clean ingredients only, lowered calories,
light and refreshing taste, crafted in the USA. And the 5th biggie? These Betty Buzz mixers are the creation of actress Blake Lively, and come to us as tonic water, sparkling lemon lime, Meyer lemon club soda, sparkling grapefruit, and ginger beer. Lively, as a non-drinker herself, made sure they are also delicious on their own. Even so the site is quite generous with recipes for spirited libations. Shown is the Strawberry Ginger Limelight. bettybuzz.com

♦♦♦ So, in a previous Salon we talked about making grilled cheese variations and cutting them party-
size for the snack table. Here’s one we all may not have thought about. It’s Ree Drummond’s French Onion Grilled Cheese. Yowsie is this a stack-up of goodness, with onions x 3, cheese x 2, butter x 2, a blast of Dijon plus a touch of thyme. And since I didn’t have the fried onions, I substituted diced and crisped leftover onion rings. Yum.
Btw, instead of scattering the cheese shreds on the sandwich, I melted them right into the cooked onions and then formed it all into two bread shapes.

♦♦♦ So, what about snacks when cocktail hour is at 35,000 feet ✈ ? Of course you can just pair your beverage with a Lilliputian bag of peanuts. Or you can bring along a taste of home . . . literally . . . twice. With these 17 Best Travel Snacks – packaged treats mostly but as well cheese and even a frozen item – that it says here are TSA-approved. And they likely are since the general rule for both checked and carry on bags is – solid food yes, liquids and gels no. 🥨 Taste of Home
