 Break away from the basic cocktail this summer with this "Bite Me Softly” drink which has quickly become my favorite summer cocktail. It was created using lots of fresh and delicious ingredients including Savile Premium Rumtini and The Owl’s Brew Pink & Black Mix. It is full of flavor and is the ultimate summer refresher with a simple blend of ingredients. See full recipe below.
The recipe is also very easy to multiply for large groups. Just make sure that you keep large batches chilled without becoming watery. Thank you for stopping by and reading my latest recipe. Natty

 Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday and Happy Father's day to you all! It’s time for us to show some extra love to dad. My dad likes to drink whiskey or mixed drink so I today I will create a drink for every special occasion including Father's day. It has been a little while since my last post as I have been a bit busy.. I have been involved with planning "The Bite Me Pre-Pride Party Event," of which I am co hosting.It will be held on next Thursday June 23 at Bites Asian Tapas and Sushi. For this event I am collaborating with the restaurant to create tasty food and specialty cocktails. It is fun to create drinks with my favorite liquor. Thank you toVodQuila, Savile and Owl’s Brew for sponsoring this event. This “Pinkelicious” recipe is a fun mixology cocktail, inspired by the dance and fun party mood from the many many Pride celebrations across the world. Chicago celebrates their Pride Parade very significantly each year. They have fancy parade that marches on street by street with thousands of people watching and being involved in this fun celebration. With rainbow flags flying high everywhere, people will dress up fancy to celebrate this fun time together. In light of the sad news from Orlando that occurred last Sunday, I would like to share how deeply sorry I am for what happened. Sending all my love out to the tragedy victims, to all their families, and to all their friends, and communities as well. The Bite Me Pre-Pride Party have decided to donate some of the proceeds of ticket sales to supporting Pulse for the Orlando Victims Fund. If you would like to donate you may do so through One Orlando Fund or BITE ME Pre-Pride page. I hope you have a nice weekend! Thank you for reading, Natty     Long ago when I first moved here to Chicago, Aroy Thai was the first restaurant that I sat down at for a delicious dinner. I still remember what the dishes were we had that night: Thai Wings, Papaya Salad, Grilled Pork Neck Salad and Spicy & Sour Pork Rib Soup. My first bite that night was of the Spicy & Sour Pork Rib Soup which brought me back to a picture of back when I was at University in Bangkok. One restaurant used to serve this spicy sour soup for me. Since then I've become obsessed with this restaurant. I would say Aroy Thai is my top list Thai Restaurant you must try. You need to be up for Aroy Thai, because their authentic Thai dishes deliver sharp and funky flavors to the heart of the menu. The restaurant features a wooden art piece with a gold leaf design by Geng (Son of the owner). It is the ambiance highlight and provides a welcoming atmospheres. Aroy Thai has a bold flavor dishes like blistering Pad Prik Pao, tasty Pork Rib soup, a bracing stir-fried Chinese broccoli, one of a kind Northern Larb fried rice, earthy Thai pickled bamboo salad with ground pork as Nor Noom or smoky stir-fried Thai chili paste like Pad Prik Pao.  Natty's Pantry Reviews: Aroy Thai Restaurant : IG@NYK_events , hand model Time to Meet The Chefs: Pha-Jeaw is the head Chef and Owner of Aroy Thai. She was born in the Sukhothai Province of Thailand and has 2 kids. One of them is Geng who helps her mother run the restaurant. Pha-Jeaw started off her career as a head chef 22 years ago at Bangkok Grocery. Her beef Jerky was well known with Thai people here in Chicago back in the day. After 2 years of great experience, she transferred to Siam Noodle and worked there for 10 years. Pha-Jeaw has a deep love for cooking; she taught herself while she worked at Bangkok grocery. And from there she kept building her fans from the restaurant, including her side job as making extra Thai food to sell at Thai grocery before she opened Aroy Thai in 2006. The restaurant easily became famous in a short period of time.  Now let’s get to know the Aroy Thai menu:  **The Sausage Combination: A combination with both, Issan and Sai Ua sausage served with a side of ginger, fresh Thai pepper and salted peanuts. Issan sausage: Northeastern Thai fermented sausage that has a unique fermented flavor from ground pork mixed with salt, chopped garlic and steamed glutinous rice. **Sai Ua sausage: Northern Thai Sausage made from minced pork with a variety of herbs and spices such as lemongrass, turmeric, coriander and kaffir lime leaves.   **Thai wings: Crispy perfection deep fried chicken wings with Asian house marinated sauce. This menu you simply must try!!!! I would say it still tastes the same from 10 years ago..... Never Changed..... Soooo Good!   Thai Fish Cakes **(Tod Man Pla): These little munchies combined the flavors of Thai curry, white fish and packed of Thai herbs as kaffir lime, and lemongrass. Served with a side of cucumber salad.   **Grilled Pork Neck Salad: This salad has a few key ingredients: thinly sliced shallots, green onion, fish sauce, roasted rice powder, and lime juice. For the key ingredient that makes this whole dish change into the mouthwatering dish they house marinated and grilled pork neck.   **Pork Rib Soup: This stunning complexity of Tamarind soup based sour and spicy soup, viscous layer between lemongrass, onion, lime leaves, and galanga root, with rich flavor from pork ribs.   **Crying Tiger: Grilled Rib Eye marinated with a secret house sauce from Pha-Jeaw. The marinade provides Asian savory flavor with a hint of soy sauce, and smoky flavor from charcoal. Served with a house cucumber salad, sticky rice and a side of homemade dipping sauce.   **Northern Larb: This smoky and fiery Northern larb stir-fried minced pork and offal, with green onion, Thai chile, and Northern larb powder.   **Chou Chi Ground Pork: Must-Try Item** This Chou Chi curry, commonly cooked with shrimp in coconut milk based, but Aroy Thai makes a twist by using ground pork. The semi-sweet and spicy is perfect especially topped it on the fried sunny side eggs.  **Mango Sticky Rice: Dessert for a hot summer day, delicious sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice, hold together with creamy coconut milk.

Those are the risks. That's the burden.Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us" Bones  Don't wait for the perfect moment,take the moment and make it perfect. - Zoey Sayward- Archives
