One Fork Goes To S.A.

As you may have noticed we haven’t posted in awhile.  Megan has been busy with her new writing gigs and I..well I had major life changes. 

After much debate Michael and I decided to take an offer that has been on the table for a few years now in San Antonio.  We are both the pastry chef”s of a bakery and are excited to be doing our own thing. 

I was born in San Antonio and jumped between here and Austin all my life.  It’s crazy how many things change yet stay the same.  For instance I’m staying in the same house I grew up in, with the same neighbors that remember me torturing their kids, but the area has changed drastically. 

San Antonio is just now starting to blossom in both the social media & food scene which makes it exciting for me to start fresh somewhere where I can start a name for Two Forked without having to stand out in a huge food blogging community like in Austin. 

So my first order of business was to meet all my fellow foodies in SA and what better way to do that then throw a potluck.  Our theme was Halloween/fall and though were few our food was mighty.  From monster sliders to zombie tonic we had all our bases covered and plenty of food to spare.

So what were these sinfully delicious items brough?

Waspy Red Head – Savory Bread Pudding

Symigoddess – Monster Pork Sliders W/Pickled Harvest Sweet Onions, Pickled Hatch Carrots & Fresh Pumpkin Bread

LindaCPrice - Zombie Meatloaf

YuppieFoodie - Bacon Wrapped Dates, Carmel Apples, & Spooky Cheese Balls

And then there was little old me – Pumpkin Custard Tarts & Zombie Tonic

It was a blast and I couldn’t stop eating the whole time, which is just how it should be at one of these events.  As the ladies post their blogs I will also have link to there experience at our first event and as a bonus I thought I’d share with you my zombie tonic. 

I’m already putting aside posts so I can be on top of things now that were a little settled so be prepared for some awesome holiday recipes.

Zombie Tonic

One Bag of Key Limes Juiced

12 Lemons Juiced

Can of Big Red

Sugar to taste

Fake Fingers (real ones don’t do well in citrus)

H20

This is super easy and the soda can be switched with anything.  I made a double batch and with the other half I used peach fresca which gave me a nice tart flavor that reminded me alot like the red sweet tarts.  So after you get all your lemons juiced into a pitcher add the soda, then fill the to the top with water.  Add sugar to taste and that’s it!  I’ve been playing with different things I can make with soda that won’t give me a caffeine high since I’m so close to my due date and this one has to be my new favorite.  Although with Big Red not much can go wrong.
