Good Morning Darlings!
Conversation last night at our house:
Me: “Honey, we should invite Rick & Denise over on Monday for the Chinese New Year. We can drink the sake they brought us in the gorgeous sake set they gifted us with and I can make pad thai.”
Eric: Crickets – then laughter. “Honey, sake is Japanese and pad thai, is, well, Thai.”
Me: “Um…”
I really should get out more.
Thank goodness for my friend Sofia, in NYC. She knows how to celebrate Chinese New Year. She sent me wonderful recipes for the most fun cocktails for your Chinese New Year.
Thanks, Sofia!

Good Morning Darlings!
OMG – it is Golden Globes Day! My Superbowl!
This is so much better than the Academy Awards because all the celebs are drinking it up and you never know what they will say. It’s my favorite!
It’s also bestie Holly’s birthday, so Eric, besties John & Holly and I will be eating copious amounts of lasagne, garlic bread, bacon petit fours made by my friend Brandon at Bear Maker Bakery (bacon petit fours y’all!!) and a layer lemon cake, all washed down with champagne, cocktails and Whopper candies. Then we will scream at the television and critique all the dresses. I am SO excited. God bless Eric, who I am sure will eat with us and then excuse himself to play video UNO or watch a Star Trek episode or four.
While I am getting ready, I am letting my buddy, Katie, in NYC, take the wheel and whip up some awesome cocktails for your viewing pleasure.
How do you celebrate the Golden Globes?
Take it away, Katie!

Good Morning Darlings!
My resolutions have lasted about one split second.
What made me break?

Everyone is talking about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Have you seen it?

Still on this “I should eat healthy” kick. Day Two.
What’s left in the pantry?

Good Morning Darlings!
Welp, all the partying is done (until Super Bowl…), so I should really consider eating more healthily.
Let’s see what’s in the pantry and fridge.

Good Morning Darlings!
I am plum full up from the weekend. Scores of tamales, Frangelico cake, cheese dip, guacamole, salsa, enchiladas, more chips. And a marathon of Being Human yesterday on the couch. Dang, that show is good.
Get to the food already!

Did you have the best Christmas with the most fun? Oh, good! Me, too.
New Year’s Eve is less than a week away. Are you hosting? Need some ideas?
You are going to need cocktail recipes!

Good Morning Darlings!
These ramblings about the other side of the party are about as candid as you will ever see me get here. I am laying it all out for you. And sometimes, it ain’t pretty.
What else could possibly happen?
