t-minus 5 months

in exactly 5 months, you can find me here...if i'm lucky linda/bonnie will let me play dress up again this year too & of course, there is always enough snow for "horton hears a who"

sangria

this is a real simple [magazine] recipe and it is in fact, real simple! we had this at our latest party and it will become a staple!!!

red wine sangria
what you need [for each batch]...
2 cups lemonade [used publix]
1 bottle red wine
1 cup regular [not diet] club soda
1 naval orange sliced
1 pint mixed berries
1 tablespoon sugar

what to do...
mix it all together in a pitcher and let it "think" for a while in the fridge...it was AMAZING! i also made frozen berry ice cubes which were over the top but they were amazing too! can be made 2 days in advance!

just in time...

just in time for our anniversary! our 2012 christmas ornament is a 2010 wedding cake with our initials monogramed on the back...needlepointed by yours truly!

beautiful water

i love some beautiful water and have been loving my fresh mint leaves from my garden. recently i made tons of mint ice cubes and they are divine! if you have left over sweet herbs in your garden, do the same! although i think mint & lavender would likely be the only two i may venture into!

happy birthday kate!
