LWC - Blue Cheese Appetizers and Blue Cocktails

When thinking blue for recipes immediately blue cheese comes to my mind.
I love blue cheese and I find it to be an interesting and delighftul cheese for appetizers. I came across several recipes but I've only decided to feature three of my favorite ones: the red onion and blue cheese flat bread, the walnut, arugula and gorgonzola crostini ( my absolute favorite) and finally the asparagus appetizer.
When it comes to thinking blue for drinks and cocktails, I couldn't resist not sharing the Blue Tini, The Blue Bikini and The Blue Lagoon.
When I think of any blue cocktail I think of a very pleasing drink, simply because it looks cool and refreshing. I must add that all the credit, for blue cocktails and drinks, goes to the Blue Curacao liqueur which not only adds the color but also that orange sweetness of all curacaos

Step 1: Begin by applying the René Furterer Volume Mousse from root to end to achieve texture.

A New York beauty industry veteran, Amoy Pitters has had a passion – and natural talent – for the worlds of hair, beauty and fashion since the start of her career. Mentored by industry icon, Odile Gilbert – and featured in the famed work Her Style – Amoy launched her impressive career as a sought-after hair stylist in the fashion industry, booking her career-first fashion show in Paris, styling the locks of the runway models for the Christian Dior couture collection in January 1998. There, recognizing her unique skill set, Amoy was asked by the show’s production team to style the house’s legendary designer John Galliano’s own hair for his final bow. Soon after, Galliano himself began requesting Amoy as his personal hairstylist. Fashion maven Donatella Versace was next in line, after taking notice of Galliano’s newly styled locks. From there, Amoy was in-demand worldwide, styling hair for editorials and fashion shows, and transforming the looks of supermodels, Hollywood starlets, iconic fashion designers, Grammy award-wining musicians and, of course, Amoy’s everyday clients at her modest East Village salon in New York City. Today, her impressive clientele includes Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, Mary J. Blige, Joy Bryant, Selita Ebanks and Maggie Rizer.
