Happy hour

Before dinner tonight, I decided to make something similar to an appetizer I had at the French Roast restaurant in New York a few days ago. It was a pretty simple little salad made out of diced avocado, tomato and smoked salmon slices, but the presentation was unique - it was presented as a cylinder... I figured it would be easy to make a cylinder - I thought I would just put the ingredients in a glass or mug, turn it over, and wa la. But no! I tried to do this and it kept falling apart. So annoying. Finally I cut the bottom off a Starbucks cup and Kelly suggested that we cut it in half, and this worked like a charm.






And we had a very nice sunset tonight... the pinks and purples were beautiful!
