food

I have invented THE summertime beverage of 2009: The Shiny

equal parts good white rum and fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 parts juice of lime and juice of lemon
splash of Monin vanilla syrup to taste

Serve in a punch bowl with lots of ice and fresh strawberries to garnish.

After spending the last week or so at my sister's place (a couple days of which I was on my tush battling a case of the Clemson crud) I have found a new appreciation for watching pretty people make pretty food on television. I'm talking about Food Network. Oh yeah. You know you've watched it. All the cool people are baking now, you know.
