Summer time and Moscow Mules are made for each other! When Jessica from Moscow Muled (Moscow Mule Mugs) contacted me I thought the timing was perfect. I had been working on a Scandinavian version of the Moscow Mule, spring time was coming and she offered to send me a couple of mugs to try out. […]
It’s Saturday morning the sun is shining, may garden needs weeding, my lawn needs mowing and my house needs cleaning. Fuck it, I made a resolution to do more blogging and I’m sticking to it. Especially since I have so many posts to do! I’ve traveled to LA for the IACP conference, went to San […]
Gimme some sugar…some sugared cranberries that is. Sometimes some things are truly simply and in that simplicity they are also truly delightful. Like sugared cranberries. There’s only three ingredients, if you count water as an ingredient. They are as lovely to look at as they are tasty to eat. Coated in a simple syrup then […]

Coffee Syrup? What do you need coffee syrup for? Coffee milk of course! I was sure that coffee milk […]

Did you know that the Germans were the first to create glass ornaments for the tree? And that Queen […]
I’ve been making mulled wine for years. It’s one of my favorite cold weather drinks. Mine is a spiced warm version of Sangria. It’s aromatherapy and relaxation in a mug. Sensual and comforting, it’s the queen of all warm boozy drinks. I’ve spent year’s preparing this delectable delight, tweaking the recipe a little here and […]
