Big Blue Cocktail

I live in the land of Patriots. But I am not a fan of these Patriots. No, I am sticking to my roots and I get flack for it up here. But I grin and bear it since I can always fall back on this game, this play. Bliss.

I am a Giants fan. I grew up in the tri-state area so they were always on in my house. I would cheer when I had no idea what was going on just to join in. I wore my dad’s oversized shirts to bed. Now, I have my own Giants shirts that I wear during games. (My brother has a Giants tattoo on his leg… now that is commitment!) I know they are having a rough season right now. But I’m not a fair weather fan! I am still cheering them on. Maybe those cheers are peppered with foul language but still I’m stinking to my men in blue. Especially after they were robbed last week with a bad call. I know they have it in them.

I had recently been going through old magazines and pulling out recipes. One was a really old issue of the defunct Blueprint Magazine. (Oh, how I miss that magazine.) I came across a Blueprint Martini on one of the pages and I knew I would have to make to enjoy while cheering on the G-Men. I made the cocktail form the magazine and it was just too much! Shocker here- I don’t like drinking straight vodka. Sure I’ll do a shot but this recipe called for 4 oz of it. I would have been on the floor! So I ended up reworking it and making it delightful! Now if only the Giants had won that game I would have been so happy. Let’s hope they beat the Cowboys today!

There was nothing really signifigant about today. Just another day but still really enjoyable.

1. Price and I nursed massive hangovers from our amazing Saturday night out. We saw The Dirty Pearls, Lady Starlight, and Semi Precious Weapons. Can’t get enough of SPW- it was my 3rd show in about year.

2. Gatorade is amazing and a life saver.

3. We napped on and off for 5 hours. It was fantastic.

4. The Giants won!!! I managed to stay awake for that game!

5. We listened to early 90’s rap this afternoon. Like When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip by 2 Live Crew, Tootsee Roll by 69 Boyz, Fantastic Voyage by Coolio, and Motown Philly by BoyIIMen.

6. We ate dessert before dinner. (Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream to be posted soon) We ate Trader Joe’s Roasted Poblano Peppers for dinner- which took 2x the amount of time to cook than what the box said. Weird.

7. I made 2 loaves of banana oatmeal bread. The house smells so good because of them.

8. We have so many appliances running now that we have all the lights off. Can’t risk blowing a fuse, just too much work to flip it.

9. The 4th load of laundry is going right now.

10. Not excited for tomorrow since I don’t have it off. boo…
