Girlie Drink of the Week
It has been a while since I wrote about BOOZE*. Between Hubby’s wonderful visit, and the kids’ schooling, I have had little opportunity to write a post about BOOZE* that appeals to the female readers of this blog. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy BOOZE* while Hubby was here, or when the Nomstress was visiting, because if I recall, we did manage to consume quite a bit of BOOZE* during their stay.
The recycling bin was pretty full 
Anyway, our friend Bako was kind enough to inspire me. Actually, I asked him if he could recommend a girlie drink, and then he said he would never do such a thing, but being the kind and thoughtful soul he is, he took pity and suggested a very simple and refreshing cocktail.
TEQUILA GIMLET:
- 1 oz. Lemon Juice
- ¼ oz Rose’s Lime Juice
- 2 oz Silver Tequila
Shake well with ice in a shaker and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with sugar and lime slices, if desired.
I did it as Bako suggested, using all fresh lime juice. And at that ratio, I’m sure it would knock me out, so I did 2 oz. of lime juice to 1 oz of tequila.
It knocked me out anyway.
*My shameless attempt to get on the front page of G00000gle for the term BOOZE.
UPDATE!!!!
I have to underline here that our friend Bako only suggested the cocktail as he makes it, which is equal parts of lime juice and tequila.
He is in no way associated with ever suggesting the use of Rose’s lime juice. Ever. In anything. Eleventy!!!
Shaken and Stirred
I have scoured the interwebtubenets for a long time, and people still fight over such a simple thing:
Vodka or gin in a martini??
I did a search for "sexy martini", and this came up. AWESOME!!!
Now, before LC Draco decides to wax poetic here (because he thinks he is the resident expert on a martini), I well realize that gin is the correct answer. That’s not the point. Nor is the point about the correct vermouth, or type of olive to use.
No, my question is why vodka over gin?
I order a martini, and the bartender gets the Absolut™. Seldom do I see a bartender reach for Tanqueray™. And I think I know why…
Not as deadly as 014, though.
I ♥ James Bond like any normal, red-blooded woman would, but did he have to fuck it up for everybody just so he could be different? Seriously, that was a total dick move by Bond. Not that I would ever tell him to his face.
Unless it was Lazenby. Then I would.
Booze of the Year
Only the coolest thing since chocolate-covered cherries!
They’ve sold millions of albums as one of the greatest all-time bands and now AC/DC hope to do a similar trade in wine.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have teamed up with Australian winery Warburn Estate for a national release of AC/DC The Wine.
(Insert “ZOMG!!!” here)

There will be four wines issued: Back in Black Shiraz, Highway to Hell Cabernet Sauvignon, Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc, and my favorite, You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato. The first issue will be solely in Australia come August 18th. I can only hope they launch them here in the US.
The only thing that would make this even more perfect would be to have a Whole Lotta Rosie Rosé.
False Advertising
I was over at The Bloggess following links around her site, when I stumbled into her column at Sexis.
Some things defy explanation, y’all.
I must warn you, this is not for the faint of heart (or is it feint? And what fencing has to do with this, I don’t know). And once you see what is below the fold, you’ll understand the title of this post a bit better….
Tiltillation Tuesday
Ok, this is really NOT my area of expertise, but a frequent lurker has expressed a concern over an oversight on our poll in the sidebar. So, I decided to indulge him, and of course, our reader and lurkers as well, with a bit of ….shall I say, Tumfoolery
A nice taut belly is soooo appreciated, isn’t it?
Even better in tight jeans…
And who doesn’t appreciate a nice tan??
And I even managed to include a smidgen of underboob
Hope y’all enjoyed the views!!

Girlie Drink of the Week
Guess what?? IT’S NOT LENT ANYMORE!!!! WHOO HOO!!!! Unfortunately, it’s Parenting 24/7 here, so I can’t just play catch-up But with Mother’s Day approaching, and since I lapsed and didn’t do a shopping guide for y’all, I figured I would do a pretty simple and delish drink to serve to all the mothers, be they of the parental or attitude kind.
As a side note, this year I purchased Lolita glasses for all of my sisters and sisters-in-law. And for me. Of course for me. They all come with recipes, some of which I am hesitant to try. But once in a while, the recipe listed just screams to be done.
This is one of those times.
The Pink Panties:
3 oz vanilla vodka
1 oz light cream
Juice from a few crushed strawberries
Sugar cubeIn a shaker, place vodka, cream and juice. Shake well with ice. Rim martini glass with sugar, and place sugar cube in glass. Pour mix slowly, and garnish with strawberry slices.
And the perfect vehicle for that libation:
Make sure to appreciate the moms this Sunday!!!
Girlie Drink of the Week
No, I did NOT break my Lenten ritual. Ok, maybe I did a teeny, tiny bit. But I ran to church and confessed, and the priest laughed at me, so I guess everything is fine. Anyway, a while back, Mr. Bingley posted a recipe for Caipirinha, which is Brazilian for “WHOO HOO!!!” Curious, I decided to stop at the local world liquor store and see if they carried the specialty liquor, Cachaça, (yes, I copy/pasted that, since I can’t do the funky tail accent on the “C”). They had several brands, in both gold and silver. I am more partial to crystal rum, so I chose the silver, and after the tough cleaning day yesterday, I decided it was time to get drunk to try the recipe, since I knew a lot of you have been severely disappointed in the lack of girlie drinks around here.
That was sarcasm.
Brazilian Mmmmm....
CAIPIRINHA
2 tsp Granulated Sugar
8 Lime Wedges
2 1/2 oz Cachaça
As Mr. Bingley recommends, peel as much of the lime peel and pith as you can, since it is very bitter. Cut the wedges and put in a glass, along with the sugar. With a pestle or similar utensil, “muddle” the limes and sugar together. Add ice, and pour the Cachaça, mixing well. Very refreshing, and perfect for Spring and Summer. Once Spring gets here, anyway
