Island Sunset


1 1/2 oz. coconut rum
4 oz. cranberry juice
1 oz. coconut cream

In a cocktail shaker or blender, combine all ingredients. Shake well or blend until coconut cream is incorporated and mixture is frothy. Pour over ice and serve. Enjoy responsibly, please!

This one is different! It's pretty! Don't know how I would do with the coconut/cranberry combo, though. Sounds interesting!

I drink vicariously through your Friday night posts. It's pathetic, I know...but I look forward to them. Keep them coming!!!

Also, I was going to comment on Purple Hoodie Chick's blog, but her comment button seems to be broken. I don't know if it's her new layout or what...maybe it's just me. Perhaps you could pass it along to her!!!!

I love the color, this would be perfect for a Pampered Chef party I am hosting!! Coconut rum is a favorite of mine. Who thinks up the drinks? Do you take turns?

Raoulsygirl - I know coconut and cranberry sounds like an odd combination, but the taste reminds me of sherbet. I'm glad you like the drink posts. We enjoy creating them.

I told PHC about her comment button. She's trying to figure out how to fix it.

Donna - This is a perfect drink for your party! It will seperate after a while with the pink foam rising to the top and the darker pink liquid on the bottom, but that looks equally pretty.

The process for deciding what drinks to make changes from week to week. Sometimes we want to use what we have, sometimes we want to try something new. It's usually pretty collaborative. We've made some duds, too. I just don't post them! The spiced rum/mixed berry daquiri was really bad!!

Skip Breakfast And Have An Adventure

By
We're skipping breakfast again.  I know you were expecting Mr. Willoughby to dazzle you with his cooking skills, but he doesn't feel like cooking today.  He wants to go skydiving. Yesterday, a friend sent us a link to an article about a new place to skydive in Michigan.  When I clicked on the link, I was surprised to see a familiar face. We'll get to that in a minute. You may recall that Mr. W started skydiving by taking a tandem jump a few years ago.  With a tandem jump, having a great instructor makes the difference between a fun experience and an amazing experience and Mr. W had Josh Sheppard; one of the best.  Josh is experienced, enthusiastic and passionate about skydiving.  Mr. W had such an amazing experience that he decided to take the AFF course (to learn to jump solo) before they were back on the ground.   So back to that article, the familiar face I saw was Josh.  He and his brother Abe have started a new skydiving business in Owo...

Timeline

I made Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce and Chicken Parmesan for dinner last night. It's not a difficult meal to prepare, but it does require the oven and multiple burners on the cooktop so it heats up the kitchen. After dinner, it was still awfully warm inside, so I left all of the dishes right where there were and my husband and I went outside to sit on the back porch and cool off. We had eaten rather late, so it was already dark outside. Our neighborhood was uncharacteristically quiet and the only sounds were that of the crickets chirping and the faint whoosh of cars passing by on Main Street. It was a perfect summer evening, the sort that you dream about in the middle of February. I asked my husband what he thought we might have been doing at that exact moment one year ago. Had we been sitting in the same place enjoying similarly beautiful weather? Had I made the same meal for dinner? What about five years ago? How about 10, 15, and 20 years ago? I know I've taken a ...

Public Service Announcement

By
I'm not quite ready to come back yet, but I wanted to take a few minutes to post my version of a Public Service Announcement.  As many of you already know, I've been away from blogging due to illness.  However, what you may not know is that the illness is H1N1.  Yep, the Swine Flu. I can honestly say that I've never felt so terrible in my life.  I had heard that for most people, H1N1 is no worse than the regular seasonal flu.  I guess I'm not most people.  After 15 days, I'm only now beginning to feel slightly human.  I was unable to get vaccinated because our area ran out of vaccine months ago.  I understand that it has recently become available again, but it's too late for me.  It's not too late for you, though.  If the vaccine is available in your area and you haven't gotten it yet, I beg you to drop what you're doing and take your family to get vaccinated. If you ignore my advice and decide to develop your immunity by gettin...
