Since it is 90 degrees here in the 'Couve I thought I would post one of my favorite summer recipes.
These are fantastic!
Hawaiian Pineapple Martinis
1-1/2 (750 mL) bottles Vodka (or 4-1/2 cups)
1/2 (750 mL) bottle Malibu Rum (1-1/2 cups)
1/4 bottle Vanilla Vodka (3/4 cup)
1 cup pineapple juice
1 pineapple cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges
1/4 cup sugar
If you have a big ice tea jar double the recipe. You can never have too much!
Layer the pineapple wedges into the jar. Pour in the remaining ingredients and allow the pineapples to marinate. The longer it sits the better it tastes. The last batch I made I let sit for 3 weeks before we had any and it was like juice!!
When I serve them I pour the booze into a glass and top with a little more pineapple juice. If you want to be fancy put a couple drops of blue food coloring. FAB!!
For an outstanding sangria recipe visit my best friend Jody's blog.
Two perfect cocktails for warm summer afternoons and evenings!

"My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me." ~ Henry Ford
It is funny how life works. I have been going through the motions of working-out and watching what I eat but my heart really isn’t in it. Thanks to my best friend who is inspiring me to keep with it and stay strong.
After reading Jody’s blog the other day about her trip to a Bikram Yoga studio opened my eyes. I haven’t done yoga in years especially Bikram. I have become addicted to Nia classes and my cardio/weight lifting. She first introduced me to Bikram about 5 years ago and I am forever in her debt. As I was reading her blog it was like we were talking on the phone and she was telling me to find a class.
So, I went to a class today. It kicked my butt! I had trouble with some of the poses especially the toe stand. I don’t think in my entire life I am going to be able to do it correctly. ☺ There was something about the final dead body pose when I realized (even though Jody has told me time & time again) the Universe is taking me where I am supposed go.
Thank Jody. Thank you for always supporting me, pushing me when I need to be pushed, and doing that last shot when we should have stopped hours ago. ☺
I love you.
