I need a drink...

So...I have moved from Maryland to North Carolina and boy do I need a drink! A huge shout out to my awesome friend T for the help and support!  I am still feeling overwhelmed with unpacking, unhappy cats, my various injuries, and the search to find a bar so I can watch my Ravens game.  So in honor of my Ravens here is a great drink recipe.

The Baltimore Raven-tini

• 3 oz Vodka 
• 1 1/2 oz of cranberry juice 
• 1/2 oz blue curacao
•  1/2 oz sweet and sour mix
•  1/2 of lemon-lime soda 

Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake gently.  Add more Blue Curacao if color isn't purple enough.  Serve in a chilled Martini glass. Rim with sugar if desired. 

Horrible Photoshop, I know!!! 

Stay Tuned!

Move = Stress

I know...I have been missing in action again.  This fat kid is in the process of a move.  I am moving to another state.  It is fairly stressful.  My roommate currently isn't a pleasant person and turning my moving experience into a nightmare and I will leave it at that.

I will be back up and writing about yummy food before Thanksgiving! I give my promise on that. 

Before I go...

• Why buy newspaper or bubble wrap to pack your delicate items with?  Use bath towels, t-shirts, pillow cases, or bed sheets...You need to pack them anyway.  You kill two birds with one pack and it is echo friendly.
• Make a to-do list.   It helps...seriously!
• What extra protection for the breakables? Pack them in the storage tubs.  Also reusable and echo friendly and once you get moved you can use them as a weather proof storage for other items.
• Sharpies and masking tape are your best friends.
• Need to rent a truck?  The packet you get at the post office for changing your address...it has awesome coupons in it.  I got 25% off my truck rental thanks to one of the coupons.  There are usually Lowes or Home Depot coupons in that pack as well.

Next stop: North Carolina.
