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?

Food Squirreling...It's a Real Thing I Promise Download a Free Spending Journal I spend my day working in a cubicle as a software engineer. I have many options for lunch including: Eating at the company cafeteriaVisiting one of many fast food restaurants within walking distance of my workplaceBringing my own lunch As much as I enjoy (i.e., obsess about) the nearby Arby's, the cheapest option is to bring my own lunch. However, the day to day life of being: A husbandFather of twoHomework helper/checker Night time reading buddy Late night blogger Laundry folder........ Doesn't leave much time for packing lunches. Sometimes it's not even about the time. Just as long as I don't have to think about another thing that "has to be done," right? I tried taking the night's leftovers for lunch the next day. Sometimes I pretend I do, but when lunch rolls around I lose consciousness for a few minutes and wake up in line at Arby's. I had to come up with a better plan. I was going to be a squirrel. The first thing I did was to buy some storage containers.

30 Drinks Every Bartender Should Know 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
