Ann Marie: I tried Oprah's Legend's Lemon Drop Martini recipe and it was bascially the same, just over ice instead of freezing the vodka, which sounds like it would make it even better!

Here's one DD invented this week.
The new Coke Blak(fizzy coffee and coke) and bourbon. Reminds me of the KY cocktail sold at Makers Mark Lounge in Louisville - Ale8One and bourbon. http://www.makerslounge.com/menu-drinks.php

My contribution for your holiday cheer:

Mexican Standoff:

1 part tequila
1 part prune juice
1 part Kaopectate

Better get them proportions juuuuuuust right.

Have a happy weekend (extended to the 4th of July for many of us).

LordBalfor~ hooooeeee. finally an easy way to dump those last five pounds.
After the firemen hose my driveway off and the birds return, I'll crawl out to the deck on all fours(not wanting to rip the bandage by sitting), and lay facedown on the lounge chair in my white robe, remembering the strains of Boot Scoot Boogie and clutching the ice pack like a long lost friend...

I've only heard bits and pieces . . . what's the whole Star/Barbra WaWa story?

Go to CNN.com, click on the Larry King Show, then transcripts. You can then read any of Larry's interviews. Star was on yesterday. J.

I was hoping there'd be some mud fights on that show. They're slinging mud now, but will it be as good as Jetset and Faina? :D
