Ingredients

White Wine Sangria:
2 bottles (.75 litre) cheap white wine (if you can find one with a little fizz, all the better)
1 bottle (.75 litre or equivalent - it's a 2 - 1 ratio) fizzy water - Perrier, club soda,
1/2 cup Peach Liqueur - NOT Eau de Vie or brandy, but lower alcohol, intensely flavored and probably overly sweet, peach liqueur
1/4 cup sugar
1 orange
1 lemon
2 limes
In
a large pitcher mix the wine, water, peach liqueur, and sugar. Stir
well to combine. Slice the fruit and remove pips. Squeeze each slice
into the sangria, then drop it in. Stir well to combine the sugar and
rest of ingredients. Add lots of ice and serve. Graciously accept
praise.
And something to nibble whilst you sip...
Chickpea Patties
15oz (450gr) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped about 1/3 cup
1 rib celery, finely chopped, about 1/3 cup
1/2 onion, finely chopped, about 1/3 cup
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbs basil, chopped
2 tbs oregano, chopped
1 egg
1 - 2 tbs olive oil
garlic in oil until tender. Remove and put into a bowl, along with
chickpeas and herbs. Stir to combine and cool vegetables. Lightly whisk
egg and add to vegetables. Heat a bit of oil in large nonstick
skillet. Drop mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, into skillet and form
patties with 2 spoons. (It's rather a loose mix - and you don't want
them too big or you won't be able to turn them) Fry them about 4
