The Pancake Breakfast Shot

This shot is brought to you by our favorite hole in the wall bar called The Anchor. You may have even heard of this fine establishment from the show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. In any event, aside from the greatest burgers and fresh cut fries I've ever had at amazingly low prices, they also have this rather unusual shot called the Pancake Breakfast shot.

Best Ever Bloody Mary (with a snit)!

It's summer and that means there are vacations to enjoy and drinks to be had! One of my favorite cold drinks, best served in the morning with a pile of assorted meats and cheeses, is the Bloody Mary.

Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie!

I love smoothies! Fruit smoothies are probably one of the greatest healthy foods. It's as simple as blending your favorite fruits with some yogurt! Yum! And they're filling. How great is that?

So now we are going to make a super simple, tasty smoothie that you can eat for breakfast, as a snack, or just because.

Chocolate Martini - the effective, yet tasty drink!

ONCE upon a time, I had the most incredible chocolate martini ever created.  It had a smooth, chocolate taste with a hint of irish cream and lots of delicious chocolate-flavored alcohol.  After trying several recipes and being severly disappointed with the results, I finally found a combination that is similar to that original incredible chocolate martini.  Here's hoping you also enjoy it!

Homemade Lemonade is Awesome on a Hot, Summer's Day!

It was a warm, summer's day. The air was muggy, the mosquitoes flew lazily across the yard, and the sweat was dripping ever so slowly between the spines of all those who dared venture out doors. Mouths were parched and it was decided that lemonade must be created.

How to make your own Wapatui!

Happy fourth of July everyone! As Americans, we believe firmly in food, drinks, and fireworks to celebrate our fourth of July. Therefore, I thought it appropriate to make my first Wap!

Do you like pina coladas? I do, I do!

The trick to making a killer pina colada... fresh pineapple. Who knew?


I usually stay away from the bars because they charge far too much for drinks, but I have one weakness: pina coladas. Despite much searching and agonizing, I hadn't found a good recipe or pre-mixed pina colada, so I was at the mercy of the bars... until now!
