What will I do with myself?
Bubba's going to start full day pre-k one week from today at 8am. I'm so anxious about it (I'm hiding it well so that he doesn't catch on!), I really want him to like it and not throw a fit every day before school.
Plus-what am I going to do with myself from 8:3am to 2pm every day????? The first few weeks will be fine-I can clean the house top ( Read more... ) -

Drink of the day: Pear Martini
Here's a lovely cocktail that's super simple to make! Remember the rule, though: Martinis are like breasts-one's not enough and three are too many! Enjoy!
Pear Martini
2 oz. pear vodka (Absolut does a pear vodka that is excellent for this)
splash of grapefruit juice
squeeze of lime juice
Mix all in a shaker filled with ice and strain into a chilled ( Read more... ) -

Drink of the day-The British Invasion
Since I'm heading off to the UK tomorrow, I thought as my last cocktail recipe of the year (yep, I won't be back til January) I'd do this one! This is a labor intensive drink, but done correctly it's awesome! Especially if you're a bartender-this is an impressive drink to make-your clientele will love it!

Drink of the day: The Blue Snowflake Martini
I've had this at a martini bar before, and it's lovely. You don't really notice the alcohol content, though, so stick with the old martini rule: Martinis are like breasts-one isn't enough and three are too many!
Blue Snowflake Martini
2 oz. Hpnotiq (a blue mixture of fruit juice, vodka and cognac-yum ( Read more... ) -
Drink of the day: Alagash Black - yes, today's drink is a beer...
...but not just any beer! This is Alagash Brewery's Black-a Belgian style stout so very very comforting in the cold winter. I'm a stout drinker in the winter, but a wheat beer drinker in the summer. Since it's winter, I thought I'd check out a few new stouts from some of my favorite breweries ( Read more... ) -

This one is lovely, I love the gingerbread man garnish-it's so cute for a girls night!

Drink of the day... Caipirinha (the Brazilian national drink, I believe!)
This is an awesome drink-if you like Mojitos, you'll love this one as well. It's not too easy to find Cachaca (Brazilian sugar cane liquor), but if your town/city has any sort of a Brazilian population, you should be able to pick it up...
Caipirinha
2 tsp granulated sugar ( Read more... )
