Last night's dinner

I was pleased with how all of the new recipes worked out last night. Pres especially liked the roasted shrimp and orzo. He has been asking me to make a cold pasta salad for a while. I had been worried that we wouldn't drink all of the white sangria, because it called for three bottles of wine (two whites and a sparkling). I was wrong; it went quickly. I used two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and a bottle of extra-dry champagne (Pres wanted to save the Prosecco that we had because we bought it on our honeymoon). I was going to substitute a couple of mangoes for the apricots, but then I got lazy and just added a third peach instead. The peaches and pears soaked up the wine and were very strong tasting. The grapes did not taste as strong because of their skin. Next time I am going to cut half of the grapes in half to see how they taste with a little wine flavor.
