The Pink House


Circa is pleased to support Carolina Breast Friends and The Pink House! A beautiful, newly renovated Pink House is located on East Morehead Street and is a safe haven for breast cancer patients offering wellness education, library and computer research center, health garden, yoga and pilates room, nutrition center, self-image services, arts & crafts workshop, mentoring and counseling. What a beautiful way to offer support to local breast cancer survivors!
For more information, please visit their website: www.carolinabreastfriends.org. Be sure to click on the Pink House's gallery to take a look at the before and after photos of the home. They did a fantastic job with this project!

Now that we have your table covered...what to serve?
Try Martha Stewart's Smoked Salmon Cobb:
Ingredients: 3/4 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup minced shallots (from 2 shallots), 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, Freshly ground pepper, 8 ounces bacon (about 10 strips), 1 head Boston or bibb lettuce, leaves torn into 3-inch pieces, 3 large hard-cooked eggs, quartered lengthwise and halved crosswise, 3 ounces smoked salmon (flaked with a fork into bite-size pieces), 1 avocado (pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch dice)

Directions: Whisk buttermilk, mayonnaise, shallots, dill, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl until well combined. Season with pepper. Cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.

Arrange bacon in a single layer in a large saute pan, and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. When cool, crumble bacon into bite-size pieces.

Arrange lettuce on a platter. Top with bacon, eggs, salmon, and avocado. Drizzle with 1/2 of the dressing. Season with pepper, and serve with remaining dressing on the side.
