It's My Party

figured i better write something so it looks like i post every month in the left nav. cheater, cheater, parking meter… just shut your annoying faces. instead of one post  after another on what i probably don’t like, here’s one post in summation, saving us all some time.

there were a number of things that crossed my mind this month as potential posts. there was that day when i received a certified letter from the big scary state – for almost no reason at all. then there was my disdain for all things family. i toyed with a post on how much of my brain is inactively storing and retrieving song lyrics from almost every song from almost ever. there was a little something on how much better angry sex is vs regular. another idea relating to brain power and how much more i’m still managing to use compared to others even though so much capacity seems to harbor useless song lyrics. sometimes i thought a bit on attractive anderson flooring was in order. there was the tiki hut thing. i wanted to discuss owls at some point. and then of course, there was july surprise.

so i think i’ll share the recipe for july surprise – my special summer cocktail creation. a post brimming with my thoughts on various subjects would be tremendous, but i decided to keep some things to myself instead.

rachel’s fitzwater
(aka: july surprise)

-one can frozen minute maid raspberry lemonade concentrate
-one 750 ml bottle of ruby red absolut (the grapefruit stuff)
-one stylish glass pitcher
-those little black cocktail straws from target
-a dedicated willingness to pour alcohol into one’s head

empty the frozen concentrate into the stylish pitcher and mash it up with a spoon. then add 2 and 3/4 cups of water (using the can from the concentrate) and mix well. if you’re daring and/or not afraid of a little vodka in your drink, add the bottle of ruby red to the highly concentrated mixer you just created and then serve over ice in a rocks glass with a little black drink straw. (or, be a nancy and mix 2 parts to 1 and potentially sidestep any of the wonders of alcohol. it’s obviously your call.) i also do highly recommend shaking 1 to 1 with ice in a cocktail shaker. you just cannot beat a good frothy foam.

so there you have it, sprinkles. the july issue of rachel fitzwater magazine.

hey look – kenny g and carrot top gave birth to a boy.

i’m apparently very pictoral these days. in this case, please accept my apologies.

dear mom and dad,

of all the matches in my collection – these are the best.

love,
rachel
