Top 10 Drinks for Summer
It's the last day of school in my area. Time for relaxing by the pool during the day, languid summer evenings, beach parties, bar-b-ques and camping trips. It occurred to me the other day that while I've shared many of my favorite drink recipes in the past few years, it might be nice to compile them… Continue reading Top 10 Drinks for Summer
Better Than Childhood Fruit Punch
Do you remember Hi C fruit punch? Getting bright red smile lines from the corners of your lips up to your cheeks? Do they even sell that stuff anymore? Probably not with all the sweeteners and dyes I'm sure it was made from. Apparently such things are horrific and we were lucky to survive childhood… Continue reading Better Than Childhood Fruit Punch
Blue Ballz
The title of this drink truly irritates me. I hate it when normal words are spelled incorrectly on purpose to make them "interesting". For me, it only serves to make a word totally annoying. As if the English language isn't odd enough, I have to explain to my kids why some marketing "genius" decided to… Continue reading Blue Ballz
Fabulously Freaky Halloween Fodder
Fabulously Freaky Halloween Fodder I love throwing Halloween parties. Mostly because I get to make delicious food and give it disgusting names. Here's a round-up of all the deliciousness I made this year and the nastiness I called it.

You'll be partying at speeds faster than a speeding bullet and do push ups to show you're… Continue reading Superman
Sangria
Sangria is about the only way you can get me to drink red wine. I'm just not into it. Add enough fruit and sugar and then I'm all over it. This recipe is bursting with fruity goodness along with a healthy dose of rum. Enough rum to cover up the red wine taste. Perfect for… Continue reading Sangria
The Daiquiri
Happy Friday! Start the weekend off right with a daiquiri. No blender needed for this perfect cocktail. Created in 1898 by an American engineer working at the Daiquiri copper mines near Santiago de Cuba, this drink will knock you silly and make you ask for another immediately after you come to. Plenty of rum, and… Continue reading The Daiquiri
Strawberry Lemon Drop
In one of my more boneheaded moves EVER, I gave up alcohol for Lent this year. I'm not Catholic, but I like the tradition of sacrificing something I enjoy for 40 days in an effort to refocus my attention on the things that really matter. I didn't think thru that I'd be giving up a… Continue reading Strawberry Lemon Drop
