Yellow Bottle Sipping

Not only is this picture freaking rock star because its with my favoritist girl, in the world...my earth, wind and fire... my bestie...But its because of the yellow bottle. Clicquot.

 

Clicquot was introduced to me a few years ago by my other love Baby D. And it is our Moet Champagne replacement.

I don't drink Champagne that often, but when I do, this is my choice. It has great flavor and does not give me the instant headache that would come from consuming glass after glass....after glass of Moet. Oh, one more after glass.

If you haven't tried it yet...get some...chill it...lots...and enjoy!



Weekend Brunch

So, for the past few weeks me and the ladies have been getting together for lunches/brunches on the weekend to recap our week, offer motivation to keep going through the next week, and tell hilarious stories!

This is me in the city this weekend for our meeting...

Lately, I've been in to this big flowy skirt, knee sock thing. I'm kinda loving knee socks and try to incorporate them into everything right now. You will see them more often.

Having a pow wow with friends I've realized is so important and something I've been missing. Just taking out time to meet up, get out the house and discuss things gives you a great reality check. Sometimes we go through things in live and wonder..."Is this what everyone goes through?" Typically someone, somewhere has been there done that and can provide not necessarily advice, but a back story. First hand user account of how that typically goes down. And though everyone is different, and every situation is dependent of the person going through it, its valuable if nothing else to be affirmed. To know you are not alone, and to do that while eating pancakes and sipping mimosas makes for a great time!

My Adventures In Alcohol: Scotch

If you know me...you know I like...no...I'd say LOVE Patron!

All flavors, shapes, sizes, buckets, gimlets, I love Patron!

But...2011 is about me trying things different. Before Patron, this post would've been about Captain Morgan (somewhere in like 2004) but I evolved. I'm attempting to do that again.

Over the weekend, I tried Scotch. I'm going on a Tour de Alcohol right now to try to discover an alternative to the Patron coma and haze I experience once I've had one, two...maybe two too many. My Scotch tour included most of the Johnny Walkers...red and black and maybe something else, who knows really what the hell they are giving you behind the bar.

For now...I'm betting on black! It is incredibly smooth (well after like my first two sifters) and I like the feeling of it. I also liked saying to the bartender "Gimme a scotch, neat", lol. That's just hot. Well, literally...its kinda hot. I'm thinking I may need some rocks the next time...or even it shaken in a Manhattan. We'll see...

What I L-O-V-E is after several of these little tastings, I felt incredibly relaxed, not hazy and I had no hangover the next day! And with a two year old who likes to wake up at 7 AM telling you all about her issues with Dora and Ni-Hao Kalan, no hangover is really the only way to go.

Next tour, I'm going to try Cognac and Bourbon. I've never been big on the big C. But I hear Conjur (sp?) and 1738 don't give you massive hangovers either.

We'll see...
