Today was judgment day for my first ever tart, It had a much larger audience than I had expected, not only Dave's Auntie and Uncle aswell as the usual suspects but Meg (the 6month of border collie) the new member of our family.
I have to say unless everyone was being very polite it went down well, even Meg had a bit.
After a 5 mile walk today with all the dogs and a surprisingly lovely summer evening, it resulted in ham sandwiches, crisps and beer for tea at 47 The Gravel in the evening sunshine. So you might say i failed miserably at day one, apart from honey-nut cornflakes this morning I've made a total of zero dishes today...so let's give cocktail making a go!
Sunday evening equals very limited stock and no shops open to get anything, so let's call it 'the last of the cupboard' cocktail, maybe work on the title.
Ice, Domicano Columbus Rum (given to us on our wedding day by Liz and Hans from the Dominican, Beefeater London dry gin, Havana Club (white) rum from our winter holiday in Cuba, Tonic water, Juicy melon and grapes, One lemon, Elderflower and cherry cordial and Mr.Saxobeat on iTunes to get the juices flowing.
Dave's ironing his work shirts, don't think he'll know what's hit him...cocktail master Sophie here I come!!
Round One
Crush the ice, (step two) clean the fish food out of the crusher, I have to use it to break it up for the baby fish. I'm sure it must be more glamorous than this in clubs but oh well. I also need to hurry up as the ice is melting.
I've added sugar around the rim of the glasses to add sweet to my sour lemon, topped up with tonic water and CHEERS!!
"The Housewives G+T"...is born!
It tastes fantastic, now battle down the hatches it might be a long evening, so until tomorrow.... Cheers
