Chickpeas and Chorizo
Chickpea chorizo is a popular Spanish dish served as tapas — and sometimes as a full stew. This recipe includes potatoes to make the dish heartier. Serve with a citrus and fennel salad and some crusty bread for a complete meal. I like to leave the garlic cloves whole and spread them on bread during the meal. If you don't care to do this, reduce the amount of garlic and chop before adding with the sherry.

Radler
Radler means "cyclist" in German. This refreshing German lemonade-beer drink recipe was invented in the late 19th or early 20th century to refresh bicyclists worn out by the summer heat. It is a 50/50 or 60/40 mixture of beer and lemonade and is a delicious addition to the menu of your summer barbecue or party.
