latchkey kid I was a latchkey kid growing up. My mom was working and going to school. So I was home alone for at least an hour or two in the afternoon. And I loved it. Almost immediately after school I would head to the neighborhood convenience store. I'd buy candy and snack cakes, then eagerly head home to watch afternoon cartoons. I had a routine....

America's Team. Really?America's Team. Really? When I was growing up Baltimore didn't have a football team. Most would assume that I would look down the road to DC for a team to cheer for, but no. I looked all over the league and decided to become a Cowboys fan. (I was 12 and thought Troy Aikman was cute.) I dropped my Dallas Star for a Baltimore Raven in '96. But there's still a soft...

Not the Mama! It's not that I'm anti-baby. I'm just anti-me-having-a-baby. I remember when I was younger I would play with my cabbage patch doll Kristie Mae or Kelly Ann or whatever the heck her name was. I would dress her up in little outfits and do her hair. I had a stroller to cart her around in and we even had matching rain slickers. It was fun for...

We have nothing to fear but running out of rum.

Category : Uncategorized

Thank you Irene for giving us an excuse to drink. As if we needed one.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’ve been spending a lot of time at my handbag site at crimsonholly.com. I apologize that my attention span can not handle two websites.

Anywho. Is it sick that I’m excited about the hurricane that supposedly coming to pummel us? Hoping to

finish the job that the earthquake started.

Earthquake? Now hurricane? If frogs start falling from the sky I say it’s time to repent folks.

I’m excited to see weather  whether this chick is as bad as all the weather people have predicted.
One the menu tonight:Regardless of the aftermath, we’re stuck inside. So let the drinking began.

The Dark and Stormy = Ginger Beer + Dark Rum

Hurricanes = Orange Juice + Pineapple Juice + Dark Rum + Bacardi 151 + Light Rum + Grenadine

Mojitos. (I know it doesn’t fit the theme. But Jay had a taste for them)  = Rum + Lime Juice + Simple Syrup + Club Soda + Mint

I actually made my own mint simple syrup. And it really is simple. Boil 1 cup of water with sprigs of mint. Add 1 cup sugar. Reduce heat. Stir constantly for three minutes. Remove from heat. Cool. And strain.
