Disastrous Easter

Easter for me was crazy as hell and as usual way too much stress to celebrate a Pagan-turned-Christian holiday when I don't hold with either clan. My family are all still Christian and for them, the food, and the chance to spend time with those people I don't get to see often, I participate. Since my family is so large, shopping for each person is impossible so every year my sister and I put together a small, individual arrangement of homemade confections (yes, we do make them by hand). This Christmas it was truffles (over 150 were made) and chocolate peppermint bark.

So, Wait, It's Not A Girly Drink?

Cocktails: "Lecker." Included notes (left to right): Tequila Sunrise, Erdnüsse, sind hier Standard (in the bowl), Mai Tai, and a receipt for €4,50 und €4,75. (Mallorca, exs100, cocktails, canpicafort, Spain, spanien) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Happy Hour blog over at GIZMODO has an interesting article, a rather well-developed approach that analyzes a few of those alcohol-related rumors. The one that interested me most pertained to mixed drinks, you know the ones that don't make you choke, gag, or barf. Coincidentally they're also the drinks that put on the receiving end of the jests from friends, joking that you can't handle the "rougher" stuff, or making you out to be the "bitch" or "pussy." Not all is as it seems.
