Deck The Halls....Sarah's Back in D'a House
Deck The Halls...Sarah's Back in D'a House...
So the Holidays are on their way...Ho Ho Ho, Feliz Navidad and all that crap...Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays. I have 4 kids, I have no choice but to put on my Santa's Helper Happy Face...
But I have recently discovered I have something to truly get all Joyeux Noel about...SARAH'S BACK ON HGTV AND THE GIRL IS HAVING A PARTY!!!
No I don't work for HGTV and no I don't know Sarah Richardson, but she seems totally FANTASTIC...I know it's all for T.V. and she could be a total Cow...but in my world ( and through very reliable sources...) she is FAB...And if she knew me I know she would love me...and we would hang out and have cocktails, sleepovers and become life long girlie friends...
I am not a wanna be designer ( or stalker...), just a simple gal who loves to watch Sarah, and Tommy of course, work their magic no matter what they do. Between work, the 4 kids, dog and...well all the other house crap, I don't get much time to sit and enjoy...But come Hell or High water...( only George Clooney himself at my door could keep me away...& would make him sit down and watch it with me...) I will have my, not as perky as it used to be, ass glued to my favorite chair on November 29th at 8pm tuned into HGTV...with a Deevalicious Cocktail in hand!!!
http://tinyurl.com/yjme24e
And for this Oh So Special occasion...I am pulling out the good stuff and making a signature Holiday Hot Totty...
" All I want for Christmas is an...invitation to Sarah's Fabulous Holiday Party"...Hot Totty...
with a dash of...I could als0 use a new pair of really cute black ankle booties....
1 ounce French Kiss Vanilla Liqueur
1 ounce Chambord Liqueur (Raspberry Liq...)
1 pkg Hot Chocolate
4 After Eights
Whipped Cream
- Slightly Melt 3 of the after eights, not too runny... use them to rim your mug, do this first so the chocolate has time to harden up. Make your hot chocolate and stir in your Vanilla Liq and Chambord. Top with whip cream and garnish with your 4th after eight...You can also crush chocolate mint cookies for the rim. Just dip the rim of your mug in milk and then into crushed cookies...Sit back and enjoy.
- If you don't have after eights you can always use peppermint hot chocolate and melted chocolate chips to rim your glass. If you are not partial to peppermint at all, just use regular hot chocolate and chocolate chips for the rim.
Lot's of Fun and Fabulous Holiday Cocktails on their way...Cheers

We Three Tacky, Dingy, Out- Dated Kings of Orient Are
I love the holidays just as much as the next guy, maybe even a bit more. Yet this year I seem to be suffering from celebratory claustrophobia. I feel like I did not even get a day after Halloween was over to breath before I had Christmas crammed down my throat. As I sat with my coffee looking out the window at the crack of stupid on November 1st. I watched the man across the street remove the giant gaudy ghost from over his garage and replace with a giant wreath. “I sure hope he doesn’t fall and snap his neck” I says to myself.
Is this what the holidays have come down too? Simply replacing one shoddy decoration for another? As I was out and about minding my own business (a good 5 days before Halloween mind you) looking for just another little something for our Halloween party. I walked into the store only to be overrun by dancing Santa’s and Snowmen snack bowls. I was in a daze, I started to worry about how I was going to tell my children that they miss Halloween. I know the Christmas decor usually comes out early but in the back of the store and for sure not before the ghouls and goblins have had their day. Yet on a side note I picked up my last minute decor at a great deal...
So is it yet another “Sign of the Times” (I love quoting Prince songs...) that the retailers are more desperate than ever, to suck every single coffer they can get out of us. I am not going to debate whether or not the Holidays have become to commercial, it’s been done and we all know the answer to that. The holidays are what you make of them, all I ask is to try and make them a little less tacky...Fell free to deck the halls in August so long as it’s done with taste and FABULOUSNESS...So here are a few of my tips on how NOT to decorate for the Holiday Season...
1- Think about others when putting up your Christmas lights...this includes our Dear Mother Earth. As you sit in your house all cozy by the fire, you don’t want your neighbours or passers by to get retinal damage from your Griswold light display. Less is always more, leave some room on the power grid for the rest of us.
2- If your partial to giant inflatable lawn characters- send me an email and I will hook you up with a good therapist I know...
3- You should not take it upon yourself, to decorate yourself...Please for the love of all that is good and fashionable...Take out a holiday scented candle and BURN YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDIGAN...
4- Batteries and motion sensors have their place in flash lights and security systems, not in Christmas decorations. Keep your stock of batteries for the toys Christmas morning. Let’s try being able to walk through the house this year without a slew of dancing Santa’s and singing Snowmen popping off in our wake.
5- Picking a theme that has nothing to do with Christmas... Regardless of how much you love dolphins, how your existence is meaningless without football or as “righteous” as you think NAscar is, these are NOT holiday themes, no matter how much glitter you sprinkle on them...
DON’T Bedazzle My Martini....
1.5 ounces Vodka
1/2 ounce Amaretto
3 ounces Pear Juice
brown sugar
pinch of cinnamon
tiny pinch of ginger
Rim your martini glass with the brown sugar. Add all ingredients except for the brown sugar to your martini shaker with ice and shake well and vigorously... Great way to work out those Holiday Season frustrations.... Pour into your martini glass and garnish with an inflatable cinnamon stick or battery operated mint leaf...
Happy Holidays
Cheers

Turning the Tables on the Power of Sex...or NO sex...Women have THE ULTIMATE POWER!!!!
I had a memorable conversation the other day with a friend who has recently become a stay at home father, we will call him
Despondent Dad. This conversation made re-think an age old
problem for men, The Sexual POWER of Women.
No matter how much we try and blur the
lines between men and women and the roles at home or work, there will always be one line that
can never be touched.
THE SEX LINE.
You canʼt see this line from space, like The Great wall of China,
but if you ask any man, itʼs far larger, stronger and often impenetrable. No matter what
roles we play at home, work or in life, as women we still hold all THE ULTIMATE POWER in the bedroom.
So it made me flip the tables and see the situation from a different point of view.
My View:
I have 4 children, 2 under the age of 2 and I work from home. By the end of an
average day I am worn out, a wee bit crusty both in spirit and from being covered in
food, snot and general kid goo. I am sure I donʼt smell sexy and I certainly donʼt feel
sexy so naturally I am not into having SEX. Now since the POWER of having SEX
lies solely in my hands, itʼs MY choice on whether or not my hubby get's laid..to be blunt...still with me...
In this scenario, my husband is truly and utterly powerless, but very
persuasive...wink...wink...
Now for the table turning...
Despondent Dadʼs point of view.
I think this quote from him
sums it up quite well.
“I change shitty diapers, do dishes, clean the floors, take out
the trash, play with and keep the kids amused and learning, tend to the yard....and
countless other things. You would think I was asking for the world for a bloody Blow Job!!!” ...and then he went on to say... " And if I even mention the idea of taking "care of it" myself, she get's all snitty..I can't win...!"
Seriously, have you not thought or said the exact same thing only with.. “I canʼt believe
you still expect me to have sex with you”....replacing the whole wanting a blow job line...
Why after so many changes
in our culture and gender roles, do we as women still have THE ULTIMATE POWER???
It just goes to show that no matter how many little blue pills they (men) invent or
prescriptions you can take...There is nothing more powerful in the world of “Getting
Sexy” than a woman uttering these three little words... “Not tonight honey”...
Not Tonight Honey..martini
1 1/2 oz Vanilla Vodka or Vanilla Liqueur
1/2 tsp honey
1 oz lemon juice
Shake all ingredients with ice and serve in a manly martini glass....Have 2 or 3 of these and for heavens sake go have sex with your man!!! TWICE!!!
Turning the Tables on the Power of Sex...or NO sex...Women have THE ULTIMATE POWER!!!!

Dear Mr. Thatcher...The Tale of a maxi pad user....
This is an actual letter from an Austin , TX woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.
Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and
secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?
As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customer's monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'.. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women.
The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.'
Are you f------ kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness, is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.
For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong',
Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bullshit. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.
Best,
Wendi Aarons

Bridezilla Bit Me!!!
I was recently asked to create a signature cocktail for a friends wedding. Now I always hesitate to do this as I am not one to mix business and friends...not the friends I actually wanna keep anyway.
So reluctantly agreed and not long into my new project my worst fears were realized.
My friend was an actual, bonafide, BRIDEZILLA...and to make matters worse her mother-in-law is one too. Shouldn't someone tell her it's not her wedding? I kept waiting for her head to spin around and see her run through the room screaming "NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!"...
So now what? I am stuck? trapped? I need Bill Clinton to negotiate my release!
I am due to book a tasting appointment and I am avoiding it like...like...like an ppointment with a crazy bride and her mother-in-law.
I know I can't hide forever, but damn it I'm gonna try!
Wedding Cake Cocktail!!
- 3/4 oz gin
- 3/4 oz Amaretto
- 1/4 oz orange juice
- 1/4 oz pineapple juice
- 1/4 oz cream

A Cocktail for a Nite Out On The Town...
How did I get Home? STINGER...with a dash of short-term memory loss...
I have to say that with this cocktail it is critical to have a good wingman (or even wingmen). Girls, I know first hand, we all need to let loose and throw it down old school style. Just make sure to work it out with your wingman ahead of time, so that you get home sfae. This way, when you wake up the next morning, swearing you will NEVER DRINK AGAIN!!! you:
1) won't wake up naked in a bus shelter
2) won't have any body parts peirced or tattoed
AND ABOVE ALL....
3) won't have a sex tape circulating on the World Wide Web...
Enjoy respionsibly...
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz peppermint schnapps
2 oz lemon juice
1 cup smashed ice
Shake all ingredients together and strain into a sugar rimmed martini glass. Garnish with a quick glance around the room to ensure you know where you are!

SIGNATURE COCKTAILS...
Had an absolutely great Shoot yesterday with Rita for Lifestyles.
Got to make some really great signature cocktails for weddings, event, parties...etc. Tried out a couple fun new liqueurs...
Zen Green Tea and X Rated. Both really tasty and innovative. Check out the recipes on my web site.
I also had the pleasure to try out some fabulous and funky glass straws from Glass Dharma. These were a huge hit and the perfect finishing touch to a fabulous signature cocktail. These are a must have, a unique addition to any cocktail party or bar. be sure to check out their web site for more details on this eco friendly , yet fabulously chic product...
Be sure to tune in to Lifestyles with Rita on Chex TV May 19th for the show. I will also have a video stream on my web site after the show airs.
Cheers and happy sipping!!!
