Ingredients

8 each plums pitted, sliced
6 each peaches pitted, peeled, sliced
1 each banana peeled, sliced
1/2 cup grapes seedless or seeded
1/2 cup champagne or dry sparkling wine
1/2 each hot chili peppers seeded and cut
1 head boston lettuce torn
1/2 cup rice milk

Directions

Put fruit in a bowl, drain and reserve juice.

Put champagne and the hot pepper in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and remove from heat.

Discard hot pepper and let champagne sit for 10 minutes.

Combine fruit and lettuce in a salad bowl or individual salad bowls.

Add Rice Dream to cooled champagne and mix well.

Pour over salad and serve immediately.

The original recipe called for heavy cream, and I have tested it with Rice Dream.

It tastes great, but Rice Dream does have fat. I have not tried low fat soy milk (can't find it, for one thing), but the vanilla flavor would probably be perfect.

It is also good, though not as good, without a cream substitute at all.

A sweeter wine such as Riesling is better without Rice Dream.

NOTE: boil the wine longer if you want all of the alcohol out.

I don't serve this to children or alcoholic friends.

Most of it seems to be gone, however.

Pete & Shannon's Damn Good Chili

I have made this several times as written--always excellent. I now make a few modifications; 3 cloves garlic instead of powder, spicy Italian sausage instead of breakfast sausage, 2 cans chili beans and either omit jalapeno pepper or only use one.
