making a mixed drink?

He had me at “No muddling (too much work, too showy, and I don’t even like the sound of the word).”, but really, a great article explaining the details of mixing a drink.  Maybe since we’ve been out of college for, oh, 5 years now, we should stop offering our guests beer all the time [...]

Ten Things

Inspired by Soule Mama once again, my list:

food on the (brain) computer

Two new food blogs I came across today:
Eggs on Sunday has super yummy looking recipes and gorgeous pictures. Made me hungry. This looks very similar to the salad I posted about the other day (Southwestern Salad) but even yummier.

I can’t even get over the goodness.
The other blog is The Kitchen Sink and this [...]
