The Heinemann's at sea...
A Day in the Life of Michelle Marie Heinemann
http://blacktiemagazine.com/michelle.marie.heinemann/Michelle_Marie_Heinemann_September20_2013.htm
Sunday evening my family and I attended a beautiful party in Greenwich, Connecticut. I have always loved Greenwich as so many of my friends live there. As we turned down, Clapboard Ridge Road, I saw my best friend on the tennis court warming up for our game. ( The week before everyone came to my house.)
The great thing about my friend is that we play tennis exactly on the same level, so we never really know who is going to win, and we always start with a mint julep....
my favorite!
A mint julep is traditionally made with just four ingredients: Bourbon, Sugar, Water & Mint leaf...usually spearmint is the choice. A mint julep must be served in a silver cup, and last year I had the good fortune of finding 50 at a local auction...I thought I was in heaven when I saw them in a little corner of the auction house. They were/are magnificent and I have put them to good use! Why Silver? This is so frost can form on the outside of the cup, so holding it at the bottom is best, and always use lots and lots of ice. So delicious. ( I must add it is an acquired taste, much like coffee...but once acquired, so divine. )
My son wanted to play with us so we decided to have a Doubles match, my friend and her son against me and my son. We laughed, we cried, and almost died, as keeping up with 6 year olds is no easy task!
After a few hours of play and the most succulent BBQ, we decided to head over to the Riverside Yacht Club. They have kept their sailboat there for ages, and the last time I was there was July 4th weekend. The Regatta was taking place and over 70 sailors participated, making it extraordinary to watch. The three racing divisions were appropriately titled " Red, White and Blue." I had taken my paints that weekend and was able to paint two paintings of the event... I kept one and gave the other to my friend...which she hung in the sailboat!
It was a great family day, we were exhausted
by the end of it, but so satisfiable so!
Until next week...xoxo..Michelle-Marie Heinemann
