Cream centered

Okay, this is disgusting (SFW, but disgusting). Don't get me wrong, I used to love Cadbury Cream Eggs (before they changed the recipe). But the idea of drinking two of them in a can of pop? Ew.

My first one-on-one drumming lesson is tonight. I'm hoping my friend can help me out with some basic technique stuff. The one thing I took away from last month's drum workshop in KC is that I am sorely lacking in actual playing technique and if I want to get good at this, I need to learn some technique before I start trying the fancy stuff.

I'm on something of a contaminant-purge, and so have stopped taking all supplements that contain suspicious ingredients (fructose and tapioca starch in Emergen-C, for example). This means I'm no longer taking ibuprofen, either, since all the brands I've found use corn starch as a base. Guess what time of the month it is now? This is my second cycle sans-analgesics, and folks, it is not getting easier. Ugh and ouch.

Liberty Hall had Singin' in the Rain in stock (although the copy has some damage). It was great to watch it with [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick for his first viewing of it. So charming to experience that with someone who hasn't ever seen it, or many old musicals at all. I'm frequently amazed at how very different were our childhoods. The only thing we shared in common is that we were both human children--and there are times (most times, really) when I question even that.

New due South icon, btw. <3

Take a bottle of vodka, add caramel chocolate bars and cap it. Stick it in a full cycle of the dishwasher and voila! Chocolodka.

Here's (http://1heckofaguy.com/2006/04/18/chocolodka/) where I got the general idea/recipe.

I use Skyy vodka, (mainly because I have evil plans to make something with all those blue bottles) and I've had supremely good results with Newman's Own Caramel Dark Chocolate Cups (http://www.newmansownorganics.com/food_peanut.html#), broken up into bits that fit into the neck of the bottle.

If you chill it before serving, you'll need to shake it up quite a bit, so I just leave it out.

This sounds like something I should totally do for my birthday this summer. I am copying this into my Booze recipe file: )
