Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew!

West Indies Salad Ingredients: (1) medium Onion, finely chopped (1) lb. lump crabmeat (4) oz. Wesson oil (3) oz. cider vinegar (4) oz. Ice Water Salt & Pepper Spread half of onion over bottom of large bowl. Cover with separated crab lumps and then remaining onion. Salt and Pepper. Then (in this order) pour oil, vinegar, and ice water over all. Cover and marinate at least 8 and up to 12 hours. Toss lightly before serving.  West Indies Salad is commonly served over crackers, and believe it or not, plain Saltines are a great choice! A few local restaurants mix it up a little bit and serve the salad over lettuce leaves. One of my favorites is to serve...
