Summer Special: San Miguel Glassware💚💛🧡💜

Summer Special!! Buy 4 artisan glasses OR 2 artisan glasses & a pitcher = Get a Margarita or Bloody Mary mix FREE with your purchase!! A great summer gift!
These gorgeous hand-blown etched margarita, stemless wine, old fashioned, and tall cooler glasses in colorful confetti, verde green, bubbly clear, and aqua are our favorite! The confetti mixes beautifully with every color!! Made in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico every piece is hand-etched with a grinding stone and experienced eye — adding intricate details and artwork such as flowers and leaves to elevate the glass and make the most of materials that would otherwise be discarded. To blow this glass, artisans preserve a technique that is more than 500 years old; the technique was introduced to the country around 1535 by Spanish artisans.
“The artisans and the legacy of this business are personal to me. I learned in the last 20 years to finally accept myself for who I am and feel comfortable being me, and my Life has not been the same. I owe this to the last 20 years of helping my family. Now, my goal is to help those that work in Mexico, the Artisans, grow in their acceptance of themselves and for us to continue to provide you with incredible ART.”





These travel a long way to get to Plainview & are tedious to unwrap but so worth it!! Our favorite artisan hand-blown glassware from San Miguel has arrived in so many beautiful colors.

*** THE STORY OF THE PERFECT BLOODY MARY MIXES BEGINS WHERE MANY BLOODY MARYS DO — WITH A BARTENDER, AND A PASSION. In 1988, working at the popular jazz club, The New Orleans Restaurant in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, Demitri Pallis was frustrated at the inconsistent flavor and quality of his bar’s Bloody Marys. Like in many establishments, from bartender to bartender, day to day, a customer couldn’t count on consistent and delicious Bloody Mary recipes. Demitri set out on a journey in mixology that would change the course of his life. So one day when he just couldn’t take it anymore, Demitri set out on a journey in mixology that would change the course of his life.

S’mores Pizza
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 ½ cup warm water
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus additional as needed
¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
For the Pizza:
1 Jar Stonewall Kitchen Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Sauce, or dessert topping of your choice
3-4 cups mini marshmallows
Roughly crushed graham crackers, optional for garnish
Directions
Makes 2, 10” pizzas
Whisk together the warm water and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixture until frothy. Let sit 5 minutes.
Add in the flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt and olive oil. With the dough hook attached, mix it until it begins to form a ball and starts to pull away from the sides. Add more flour as needed to create a ball of dough. Allow the dough to beat for 1-2 minutes before removing from mixer.
Flour a flat surface and knead dough with hands for an additional minute. Form it into a ball and place into a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Place in a warm environment and allow to rise until doubled in size, about one hour.
When dough has risen fully, punch down and remove from bowl.
Preheat the grill to 500° F.
Cut the dough in half and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and roll out to a circle that is about 10” across.
When grill reaches temperature, spray, or lightly brush one side of dough with oil. Place the dough, oil side down, on the grill. Brush the other side with oil and close the lid. Wait about 1-2 minutes, open the grill and rotate the dough. Close and continue cooking another 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye on the dough to ensure it does not burn.
Open the grill and flip the dough over. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the dough from the grill and allow to cool.
When ready for your s’mores pizza, preheat your broiler in your oven. Thinly spread Stonewall Kitchen dessert topping over the top of the crust. Cover with mini marshmallows and broil until the marshmallows have browned slightly. 
Remove and cool slightly, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and serve.
