Win a FastPass to the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party—By Writing a Limerick!

There once was a vegan quite hostile
For whom "Meat = Murder" was gospel
But her conviction died
With one whiff of rib eye
And you can't proselytize with your mouth full.

Win a FastPass to the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party

Sauce drips viscous, thick
Firm, stately turn of the spit
Grip, rip, pick, strip, lick.

I always called my favorite pasta "caper pasta," though it's more of a puttanesca without so much sauce going on. Penne with basil, garlic, tomatoes, kalamata olvies, capers and mozzarella. The first dish with real flavor I ever declared a favorite.

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.

Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.

Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!

I love a Sea Breeze - vodka, cranberry juice, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Ahhh!

Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.
