Bomb Pop Shots

Bomb Pop Shots
Growing up my all time FAVORITE frozen treat were Bomb Pops! Those ‘rocket’ shaped Popsicles that were blue raspberry on the bottom, lemon in the middle and cherry on top. And I’m sure by now you all know what I did with the cherry portion. Yep, you guessed it! Well when I turned 21 I discovered Bomb Pop Shots. So whether you’re celebrating the 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day or Tuesday, enjoy but please drink responsibly and never drink and drive!

How To Be An Ethical Carnivore What do you mean You People? Kidding, I agree with you. You people don't understand they difference between personification and reality. Right. The author was being self-righteous. What is your PETA position on animals that cant survive without human assistance. Wow. Way to focus on the first few paragraphs of the article and blow it completely out of proportion. Your second paragraph is ridiculous, you are aware the the modern cow as we know it today, has been selectively bred to be these oversized, innefective, freaks of nature? I'm always happy to give scientific, factual answers to the myths surrounding eating meat. Eating vege is not "unbalanced and unhealthy" when done correctly, how many omnivores do you know that you would consider to be eating an unhealthy/unbalanced diet? Man.

Lemon-Vodka Cream Pops Using a vegetable peeler, remove all of the zest from 3 of the lemons in 3- to 4-inch-long strips. Set the lemons aside. Combine the lemon zest, cream, milk, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Squeeze 2/3 cup juice from the reserved lemons (juice the fourth lemon, if necessary). Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a 4-cup glass measure (or any container with a spout for easy pouring), pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. The pops can be frozen for up to 3 days. nutrition information (per serving): Calories (kcal): 180; Fat (g): 12; Fat Calories (kcal): 110; Saturated Fat (g): 7; Protein (g): 2; Monounsaturated Fat (g): 3.5; Carbohydrates (g): 17; Polyunsaturated Fat (g): 0; Sodium (mg): 60; Cholesterol (mg): 45; Fiber (g): 0;

How To Choose The Healthiest Drinks Infographic Researchers have used prospectively obtained data from 105,986 women in a comprehensive study to evaluate the moderate consumption of alcohol and breast cancer risk association. A large amount of observational research has revealed that women who consume alcohol have an increased risk of breast cancer. The relation appears to be generally stronger for those women who binge drink, are also using post-menopausal hormonal therapy, or/and have low dietary folate intake. Most research has shown that heavier drinkers have the highest risk of breast cancer. A modest increase in breast cancer risk was found to in women who consume alcohol in this study, even those women whose total consumption of alcohol was in the range of 3 – 6 drinks a week. The same small increases of breast cancer risk have been observed from consumption of alcohol in the majority of earlier observational research. How To Choose The Healthiest Drinks Infographic

A Different Kind of Smoothie I sat down with a precious girlfriend for lunch at Fiddlecakes the other day and she told me about green smoothies. Huh? It was a smoothie, but was packed with greens such as spinach and kale, fruit, and sometimes even protein powder. Munching on my gluten free brownie, I listened as she told me about how much energy she and her husband have had since they’ve started drinking them. Well, since trying one (which I was a bit nervous about, I’ll admit) I’ve been hooked and have really noticed a difference in my energy. Plus I’m getting nutrients in my system that I’d never get normally because I’d frankly never eat this many greens on my own. There are a TON of variations for these things, but here is what I’ve been drinking for the last week. 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.)

Beefeater The Ultimate Strawberry Lemonade One of the first times I ever realized that – HEY! I can cook for myself! – was when I first learned to make lemonade. I magically found the refrigerated lemon juice at our house and followed the directions to make my own lemonade. Sorry for the detour. Anyway, there was a summer there where I made my own lemonade every single day, making sure to rub it in my sister’s face that I knew how to and she didn’t. The key to this being the ultimate lemonade is that you blend it up with the lemon rind in there. And any time of day for that matter. (makes 2 pint-glass servings with ice) 3/4 cup sugar2 large lemons, microwaved for 30 seconds2 cups water1 cup of frozen strawberries, microwaved for 1 minute (you could use fresh, but I think the frozen works better here) In a blender squeeze the lemons and add the rest of the lemon, rind and all. **Note: I like to microwave the lemons to release more of the juices, and microwaving the strawberries does the same sort of thing.

Vive les bistrots! Depuis le début du siècle, les plus grands chefs de l’Hexagone, les étoilés prestigieux, investissent comme jamais dans des restaurants simples aux additions raisonnables où le potage du jour, le sandwich jambon-beurre, la salade aux lardons, la blanquette de veau, la mousse au chocolat ont remplacé le caviar, le homard au curry, les saint-jacques aux truffes noires, le risotto aux truffes blanches, le bar de ligne en croûte de sel et le soufflé à la vanille de Tahiti. En un mot, la haute cuisine est-elle battue en brèche, déboulonnée par l’élite des gros bonnets en mal de plats basiques? Le développement fulgurant des bistrots –400 testés à Paris par le Guide Lebey 2013– est-il de nature à freiner la création d’établissements trois étoiles? publicité Brunch à l'Auberge de Flora Crom'Exquis La bistronomie est devenue la voie royale de la restauration actuelle, le rapport prix-plaisir est ce qui attire le public des fins palais.

Frozen Butterbeer for the Deathly Hallows Premiere – Cook Like a Champion There’s something you might not know about me. I’m a huge fan of the Harry Potter books and movies. I wasn’t always, but once I watched one movie, I was hooked. I was devastated when I found out Eric and I were moving away from Orlando before Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Luckily, we were able to fly back over the summer and use our season passes one last time. Even though it was incredibly hot and crowded, it was totally worth it to be able to experience a small part of the Harry Potter world. Butterbeer, for those who don’t know, is a favorite drink of young witches and wizards. Looking for more Harry Potter recipes to celebrate the premiere of Deathly Hallows this week? Frozen Butterbeer for the Deathly Hallows Premiere Ingredients For the butterbeer: 1½ cups cream soda 6 tablespoons butterscotch schnapps 2 cups ice For the foamy topping: 6 tablespoons heavy cream 1 tablespoon butterscotch schnapps Directions Source Cook Like a Champion original

MixMentor 30 Drinks Every Bartender Should Know - StumbleUpon So I have a new hire who is about to bartend her first bartending shift and I was about to e-mail her 30 drinks every bartender should know and looking for a list (so I wouldn’t have to make it) and almost every list I found was absolutely ridiculous. For example, one site listed the Bocci Ball (don’t know what it is, probably never will as in 12 years no one has ever ONCE asked me for one). Or the Freddy Fudpacker (aka The Cactus Banger) – once again NEVER HEARD anyone order either of these ever ONCE. I’m not naming any drinks on this list where the ingredients are the name i.e. vodka tonic, amaretto sour, or gin and juice. 1. How To Make the Top Cocktails Every Bartender Should Know Apple Martini I hate to even put this on the list, but it is a cocktail that I get an order for at least once a weekend. 3 oz Apple Pucker, 2 oz Vodka, (can add 1 oz fresh lime sour if you happen to have something like that in your bar) shake and serve up with a bright red maraschino cherry Rusty Nail

Pourquoi il faut choisir son verre aussi soigneusement que son whisky Dans les westerns d’Howard Hawks, les héros fatigués le descendent au goulot. Dans les pastiches modernes de Tarantino, on le siffle en rasades. Jethro Leroy Gibbs, le boss de la série NCIS, le boit dans sa cave, dans des mugs ou des pots à confiture où il stocke ses pinceaux – sans doute pour oublier la pire coupe de cheveux de l’histoire de la télé (oui, devant Pujadas). Dans Skyfall, le dernier James Bond, Daniel Craig le sert dans des tumblers en cristal taillé – c’était bien la peine d’abandonner la vodka Martini pour le Macallan 50 ans! publicité Le 7e art regorge de ces gestes romanesques et virils à souhait qui forgent la légende des spiritueux. 1. Ces verres larges et courts bien campés sur leur gros cul ont gagné le titre de «verres à whisky» dans le seul objectif de vous égarer. 2. Comme avec les tumblers, on ne sort le service qu’à la condition d’y servir des cocktails très dilués – Highland Cooler, Collins, scotch/ginger ale… 3. 4. 5. 6. Christine Lambert
