ubriaco

today is friday. 
and what does that mean, class?
nonjudgmental drinking hour starts
a lot earlier.

it's five o'clock somewhere.
or even later in some places
which means
we have to catch up.

i'm a drinking kind of gal.
i like mostly all beverages
beer
wine
champagne
rum 
vodka
whiskey
tequila if its island time.

what i hate
is
mixologists.
i like fancy
but fancy doesn't need to take 
ten whole minutes for something
i'm just going to obnoxiously pound anyways.

mixing bitters and whiskey
for eight whole minutes
makes my
old fashioned
old news. 
so i have prepared for you
a quick
impressive
sexy as giselle on a summer day
cocktail "spritzer"
that will make panties drop
and mixologists eyes roll right out their heads.



the rosemary tangerine champ-tail
1 tangerine
2 sprigs of rosemary
champagne
vodka
ice

to initiate the joy you are about to receive, make sure you have a cocktail shaker and lots of ice. prepare yourself for the quickest fancy thing since the five dollar burger. take that shaker and fill that sucker with ice to the brim. if you feel like sharing, pour two overflowing shots of vodka into the shaker, this is also just about enough for a normal "mommy had a long day" drink. now we take that sprig of rosemary and brake it in half, tearing the leaves and tossing them into the shaker. take your halved tangerine and squeeeeeeeeeeze that bitch like your trying to arm wrestle it, making sure the juice gets into the shaker and not all over your arms because you're so strong. now, cover and shake. we are so close to alcoholic victory. pour your vodka tange rosemary concoction into a martini glass. feel the excitement as you pop that champagne, yeah girl.. pop it. now top your mix with the champagne and garnish with the leftover stick of rosemary and any tange slices you have lying around. now sip. or chug. and enjoy being a classy at home mixologist.

i'm proud of us.
we deserve this.

squisito

i worked out today,
straight through
an entire hour of boxing
without craving food.
okay, that's a lie.
the entire time,
i was thinking about 
pizza.

so
i
made
pizza.

oh and what a delicious pizza this was.

i'm sure my trainer would really appreciate
the amount of effort i put in to try and make this thing
as healthy as a personal pizza
possibly can be.

vegetarian garden burger, asparagus & rosemary lavash pizza
1 piece of lavash bread
2 tsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. marinara
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tbsp. feta
1 garden burger patty
2 stalks asparagus
1/4 sprig of fresh rosemary (chopped)

set your oven to broil. brush olive oil on both sides of your lavash, place on a baking sheet lined with foil and pop into your oven. leave lavash in oven for 2 minutes, flip, and set in oven for another 2-3 minutes (until golden brown and crispy). while lavash is in the oven, cook your veggie burger in a non-stick pan on medium high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. slice your asparagus into little rounds, chop your rosemary as fine as you desire, and cut your patty into bite size pieces. pull the lavash out of the oven, and drop the heat for 450. spread the sauce evenly over your crispy crust. sprinkle it with 1/2 the mozzarella. drop on your chopped burger patty, asparagus, and the rest of your mozzarella. add the rosemary and feta to top. toss this delicious masterpiece back into the oven for another 5-8 minutes, until cheese melts and starts to bubble. now, shovel this bad boy in your mouth and praise the lord because this thing is a gift from god.

get yourself on this trip to yumtown, usa.
what could taste better than fresh rosemary? crispy pizza topped with the fresh rosemary, that's what.

i mean, clearly i love me 
some gardenburgers.
i'm not a vegetarian,
in fact, i love meat.
but with three kinds of mushrooms,
brown rice, rolled oats,
and an array of seasoning
i can't deny their deliciousness.
