Like many others, this Sunday my family and I will host a small gathering for the Super Bowl. Having neither of our favored teams (Ravens and Patriots) in this game, we have chosen a team by default, the Cardinals.
Of course, not everyone I know is rooting for the Cardinals. Some of my friends and family members have deemed the Steelers as the team that should win this game. So, out of respect for their thoughts (no matter how much I disagree), I have created a couple Pittsburgh drinks.
As I never have been to that city, I didn't attempt to make

This past Sunday my husband and I made plans to watch the AFC Championship game. My husband is a fan of Sunday football, but this game was a "must see" event, as he is a native of Baltimore. To enjoy the festivities, we invited our best friends, Tom and Vicki, and planned a menu for the evening.
As we all enjoy a cocktail or two while watching the game, one of us usually tries to create something new for a gathering. Being the host, I decided to create a drink for this occasion. As a person who likes to coordinate whenever

Special Almond Chocolate Coffee

Today marks the twentieth day of winter in the northern hemisphere. However, in New Hampshire it seems like we already have had a winter's worth of snow and ice. Between this chilly precipitation, cold temperatures, and biting winds, winter has made its presence known.
To cope with winter, I sometimes try to pretend that it isn't cold and wintry by preparing tropical dishes and drinks. However, there are times when just knowing how cold it is outside gives me the goosebumps. And on a night such as that, a cold drink is not going to work.

I always have been a fan of cognac andbrandy. Actually, I guess I would have to say that I have been a cognac and brandy fan since I have been an adult, but that is being nit picky since I cannot remember anything before that.
This New Year's Eve we had some friends over, and I decided to make up a new drink with brandy that was light and fun. So, I cooked up a Brandy Fizz.

Too Busy for Football-tini

In New Hampshire, this past weekend was filled with lots of wintry weather. It started with a snowstorm that ran from mid-afternoon Friday to early Saturday morning. As we were digging out from that storm, there was a warning of another, bigger snowstorm all day Sunday. Pleasantly trapped at home on Friday night (and preparing for the same on Sunday) with each other's company, tasty snacking food, and holiday movies, my husband and I were ready.
However, when the opportunity was presented to leave our domicile on Saturday, we were ready to go! As we were shopping for a few last
