Sunday in North Central Texas

Hi all: It's a beautiful day here today. I think I'm coming down with something other than allergies....I've been freezing all day long. I need to work on the backyard which becomes our outdoor home in the summer. I think I would look kinda foolish out there in my sweat jacket and socks, LOL. Anyway, I've been promising to post some good drink recipes from our Bunko repertoire. We have great food too, which to me, is most important. Here are some of the drinks we've had over the years.

Pink Pantie Pulldowns (we've heard them called droppers to)
1 can frozen pink lemonade
3/4 can vodka
2 cans Fresca

Use the lemonade can to measure all. That's kind of the official drink of our group. I tinted it orange for Halloween last year and my friend LeAnne tinted it green for our March game night.
This originally came from my hair stylist Kristi Luse. Adjust vodka for your taste or leave out and use recipes as punch. Enjoy!!

Now, Mike brought this one home and I thought I would fall over dead when I took a swig. It's not my favorite but I'm sure there are those who would find it attractive.

Funky Cold Medina
For 1 drink
1 oz. Absolut Vodka
1 oz. Southern Comfort
1 oz. Blue Curacao
Cranberry juice to dilute or fill the glass.

Weight Watchers 2 point Margaritas
Frozen--ice to fill blender
1 tub Crystal Light lemonade
1 can Fresca
8 shots Tequila (oz).
Blend until smooth

On the Rocks--
1 tub Crystal Light lemonade
2 cans Fresca/1 can water
8 shots (oz) Tequila
Pour over ice cubes

We have a great time and eat alot of M&Ms (which we use to keep score) I'll post food recipes in the future.

The State of our Union

Tomorrow Mike and I will celebrate our first date 41 years ago! He didn't remember the right date when I asked him as men are sometimes want to do. I'll let it slide this time. Who knew 41 years ago when he took me to feast at Pancho's Mexican Buffet (all you can eat for $1.49) and then to one of the most lovely older theaters in Dallas that would be it for both of us. II can't remember the name of the theatre but it was elegant and beautiful. And I could still climb stairs without screaming in pain. We saw The Godfather. There were embarrassing parts and the violence and language was so colorful for a simple 17 year old like me but it was a good movie, to say the least. We had a nice time. That summer I was kind of dating around (that sounds weird) but after that night I never went out with or looked at another guy. Mike and I had known each other for several years. He and I both worked at King's Rexall in Lewisville. We had our first fight there. He worked in the

Falling Into Fall

Image
Even though the temps are still hot here in north Texas, the air has changed. At least it seems that way to me. Grasping at straws.....quite possibly. LOL  But regardless, it lifts my spirit and I'll take that any day. Fall is my favorite time of year. Opening windows after living in air conditioning for months on end and before buttoning up for the colder air of winter and the heater. The leaves on our ornamental pears begin to turn a beautiful shade of maroon, the neighbors' trees are a riot of gold and orange and the leaves begin to fall. Yard work slows down. I swear every year I'm going to have a wonderful fall veggie garden and every year it doesn't happen. I have always believed we will have better luck in the fall rather than our non existent spring that quickly melts into a hot and dry summer. One of these years I will have to follow through. Have you had a successful far garden? Texas weather can be so strange but I still have hopes of getting a garden in. S

Life's a Hoot!

What has the Brod Abode been up too? Hmmmm so many things have gone on the last month or so. This Brod has become a Food Network addict. Again. And that is awesome because now all I want to do this "going to be Texas hot" summer is try new recipes! IF ONLY I didn't have to go to the grocery store. My dream kitchen would include a never ending pantry. Need it? It's there. Ah, I can dream. The bored om factor has been so great I've succumbed to the temptation of General Hospital again. First time in maybe, 20 years? Getting old is extremely interesting and so is double cataract surgery. And the rules that accompany said surgery. I think I have discovered that they have discovered I can be an ornery patient. I guess another old thing. An old EMT, VBG. So no bending, lifting heavy things, gardening, being out in the wind, no anything at all that might allow something to get in my eyes. I get that. I do. And the resulting eyesight is awesome. It's not perfect but w
