Cheers?

"Hurricane"

1 oz vodka
1/4 oz grenadine syrup
1 oz gin
1 oz light rum
1/2 oz Bacardi® 151 rum
1 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1 oz triple sec
grapefruit juice
pineapple juice

Pour all but the juices, in order listed, into a hurricane glass three-quarters filled with ice. Fill with equal parts of grapefruit and pineapple juice, and serve.


That much alcohol might take the edge off.

yeah, but this one tastes better:

Chocolate Martini
1/2 shot of Vodka (pref vanilla or carmel)
1 1/2 shots of Creme de Cacao
1 1/2 shots of Chocolate Liqueur (Godiva is good)
2 1/2 shots of Half-n-Half

Pour into a shaker with ice, shake and then pour liquid mix (sans ice)
into a martini glass. Ice cream can be used in place of the half-n-
half. Not sure how much, just add and blend until the consistency you
want.

I dunno, I'm partial to a well-mixed bloody mary. Absolut Peppar (a spicy vodka goes well with a spicy drink after all), tomato juice, splashes of A1 and Worcestershire, a tad of horseradish, peppar and topped off with a couple of olives and a celery stick. Mmmm. I could go for a bloody mary right now as a matter of fact...

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
