Spring Fling I was in the mood for a light, fruity cocktail. I looked at the contents of my refrigerator and my bar and this is what I made...I call it a Spring Fling. I love it because it can easily be altered to create other variations. Chambord (raspberry liquer) Sparkling Wine Fresh Raspberries In... Continue Reading →
The Library of Lost and Founds
The Library of Lost and Founds by Phaedra Patrick There was more going on in this book than I had anticipated. This was the February pick for my library book discussion group. Between the title and the cover (which was cute), I expected it to be a very light read. It did manage to maintain... Continue Reading →

The Family Upstairs
The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell This was one of my 5BIGR (Books I’m Gonna Read) this winter. I have been trying to read this book for months, but it keeps getting pushed to the side for book club reads and library checkouts. I finally picked it up and whoa...I loved it! The Premise -...

Daiquiri
Daiquiri (The Official Downton Abbey Cocktail Book, pg 57) When I hear ‘daiquiri’, my mind immediately goes to strawberries. A strawberry daiquiri made in the spring with fresh strawberries - delish, but that's a different post! A straight up, standard daiquiri looks a little different! 2oz white rum 3/4oz lime juice 3/4oz simple syrup Add... Continue Reading →
Say You’re Sorry
Say You’re Sorry by Melinda Leigh This one was recommended to me by my husband. We don’t always have the same taste in books, but sometimes we do. This is a perfect example of the book stars aligning. There is a lot going on in this book, so it appeals to lovers of many genres.... Continue Reading →
The Testaments
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood I had been looking at this book on my shelf. I wanted to read it, but at the same time, I didn't. Once I read it, the story will be done and I just don’t want it to end. I loved The Handmaid’s Tale. The story was amazing. The characters... Continue Reading →
