What a weekend! I'm all tuckered out after a few fun-filled days with friends. Highlights include hanging out at the Dustbowl Art Market, making faces in a photo booth, sipping on [numerous] free cocktails and laughing over classic diner fare at breakfast.
You know it's fall when Starbucks starts featuring Pumpkin Latte on their menu! It's the most popular drink during fall but me being a tea lover prefer their pumpkin chai tea latte, which is a delightful combination of pumpkin and lots of spices.
This is the last post featuring the pineapple vinegars that I made with my brother, Rich. He made the cocktails (1 / 2 / 3) that I posted earlier this month. It was such a blast making these cocktails/photographing them (he even took a few of the shots!
It's been a rather dramatic week at the farm. Some uninvited and very hungry deer arrived and within a 24 hour period they demolished our fall plantings of spinach, arugula and beans. To say we are devastated is an understatement. It's time, money and back breaking work completely gone.
So naturally, right before I sat down to write this drink post, I went to grab my glass of wine that I had just poured and taken one sip out of; and what did I do? Of course spilled it! ALL.OVER everything that is important in life (aka my iPhone and my laptop case).
Summer is officially over, but California doesn't seem to know it yet... The air conditioning is on full blast, I'm still sweating and the only thing I want to do is soak in the nearest pool.
Pull out the ice cubes, stir together zesty wines, flavorful liquors and tons of fresh fruit and get ready to enjoy some refreshingly healthy sangria recipes.
