@AnnetFoley: Watch a few episodes of the sitcom "Scrubs" and you will soon learn what an appletini is. It is not a fruit drink, but a cocktail.

You had a guest on your show and she talked about making a fruit drink, that she called appletini. I could not find it in you beverage drinks. How can I get the recipe? Thanks, Annet

A picnic without Paula's iced tea would not be a picnic. My whole family loves your tea and I always make plenty to keep the squabbling down. Since summer is here and the heat index is so high I'll be drinking my heart out. Thanks

Lightening Fast White Bean Dip was simple and quick to make. Has a great taste and some of my guest like the nutritional value. (For me it doesnt matter, the more butter the better!)
