Shoogie-tini

I have a dinner party to attend tonight and I am always looking for ways to make things with the freshest and most tasty ingredients.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a love of cooking and baking and out of that love has come the Shoogie line.  All of the ingredients I use in my products are food grade, with the exception of a few essential oils like Sandalwood and Eucalyptus, but if you are a Koala Bear, then I guess it is food grade for you.

So, with that in mind, this week I have decided to post my recipe for an unusual drink combination that is not only lovely, but fresh and summery.  You most certainly could omit the Vodka if you are making mocktails...but if you want the fun, keep it in.

 I started by making the simple syrup:
1 C. Water
3/4 C. Raw Honey
1/4 C. Raw Sugar
3-4 sprigs Rosemary

Boil all these ingredients in a pan for a few minutes then turn off and cool.  Pour into a tightly sealed mason jar and let sit in the fridge for 1 week so you get the rosemary essential oil flavor into the syrup.  Or if you are not willing to wait, 2 drops of Organic Rosemary essential oil into the syrup will work too.

Now Comes the fun part:
Fresh Limes
Fresh Lemons
Vodka
Sprigs of Rosemary

Into a shaker:
Juice 1 lime and 1 lemon
3 oz. Vodka
1-2 Tablespoons simple syrup (to taste)
Fill shaker 1/2 with ice and shake.
Pour into 2 martini glasses
Garnish with a lemon wheel and floating sprig of Rosemary

MAKES: 2 tasty Shoogie-tinis...Enjoy!

Help Prevent Sunburn By Doing This...

N o more tantrums, fights, or parent vs. squirmy child to get that sunblock on their face.  The sun is hot, brutal and blistering, in fact it's close to 100 degrees here almost every day in August, and there is no way I am enjoying more than 15 minutes in our Florida sunshine without sunblock and of course without sweating like I am in a sauna, and that is NOT the goal today.  I am sitting behind my bright computer screen hammering away on the keys in my gloriously cool house watching the birds outside fighting for the shade of my bottle brush tree.   This Wednesday, my friend Stacey and I and our tribe of children got together for a summer movie, lunch and some playing out in that Florida sunshine at the downtown splash pad.  My other friend, Michelle and her two kiddos joined us late afternoon at the splash pad and they got to test the new Mermaid Sunblock firsthand. I am not joking when I say they were practically fighting each other to get to the gloriously colored and

Hurricane Irma

M y husband had to work the entire storm as he is part of the Emergency Operations in our community, so I was thankful that our family was mandatory evacuated and was staying with us.  It was a packed house, for sure, but it was also fun.  The kids got to spend time with their cousins and Aunts and Uncles and their dog.  We played that hilarious game with the mouth piece where you say phrases and people try to guess what the heck you are saying...talk about laughter being the best medicine, this was a winner for games...and another game where you don't have to guess the right answer, just the person closest to the right answer wins, which was really fun too.  We made popcorn, and hot dogs and s'mores over the fire pit in our backyard, and the kids swam in the 2 1/2 foot pool in the screened in room in the back porch...to which they declared as their "Hurricane Bathtub" and soaped up and swam in their filth...but at least they were cleaner, another win in my book. I

Nine Lives & Onions

T hey say a cat has nine lives, and my husband affectionately refers to me as his cat...oh the double entendre here, but the kids don't have to know about that until they get waaaay older.  In our family of 4, two of us are cats and two of us are dogs...what I mean by that is, my husband and daughter are like a puppy dog when they give affection...very in your face, all over you, totally overwhelming, smooching like if you don't cover every square inch of a face with slobber, it wasn't done correctly so you must begin all over again...you know, just to make sure you didn't miss a spot with germs and drool.   My son and I are the cats in the family...totally content with a solid smooch and hug and then happy to saunter off into the corner to... you know do cat stuff... like having space and enjoying not being held down and tortured with the affectionate energy of a growing puppy... all the time... probably the real subconscious reason why I won't get the kids a p
