Happy Birthday McGyver, how old are you? McGyver holds up his hand and starts with the thumb, 1966, then the index finger, 1976, the middle finger, 1986, the ring finger, 1996 and finally the pinky, 2006. Let’s see now it’s 2011, so 2006 to 2011 is 5 years, “I’m 55”. Isn’t it great that after […]

Prawn and Shrimp Salad Sandwiches with a Proper Cuppa Tea
In honor of William and Kate’s wedding, my post today is British themed. Some of you already know this, but for those of you who don’t, I spent 4 years living in England. Receiving an overseas assignments was one of the best perks of being in the military. It was so incredibly exciting, I had […]
Thin Mint Irish Coffee
It came to me, out of nowhere, a drink for St. Patrick’s Day. I tried to ignore it; it would be empty calories that I don’t need. Then I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond and they had Irish Coffee Mugs…cheap. I bought two. Just in case. But I won’t use them. I searched the […]
Champagne Sunrise
I love Sunday mornings, lazy, sleep in and stay in your pajamas Sunday mornings. Which is probably why I love Sunday brunch, I never get up early enough to have Sunday breakfast! Normally I don’t have cocktails on a Sunday morning, not that I think there is anything wrong with it, but I prefer my […]
Zwiebelkuchen, Federweiβer and Love
I knew Mcgyver for 2 years before we ever went on our first date. We rode around in the same motorcycle group. I was dating another fellow but McGyver claims he had his eye on me the whole time. I enjoyed McGyvers company even though he was the oldest member of our group. He also […]
Arnold Palmers
It’s been about a week and half since I had to whip together a menu for going up to the cabin. I promised that I would post the Arnold Palmer drink that I made. I had planned on doing it earlier but the issue is, it’s the Baby boy’s absolutely favoritist drink and he was […]
Cabin Food Challenge
We found out last Wednesday that the roads were clear up to our cabin and our “outside” contractor had finished up his work from last summer. The Baby boy was also away on a float trip down the Smith River so McGyver thought we should head up and “cabin camp” overnight. I was excited to […]
Chai Tea Mix
Once upon a time there was this Kitchen Witch who woke up to a grey and dreary day. This Kitchen Witch loves a good cup of tea on grey dreary days. Chai is her favorite tea, but this Kitchen Witch didn’t want to get out of her PJs early in the morning, she just wanted […]
Cuba Libre
Thanks Angie for requesting this one, it gave me an excuse to have one on a Sunday Night. Not that I need an excuse, but it helps me rationalize. This is my all time favorite cocktail, it’s simple but sounds exotic. McGyver turned me onto this when we started dating. Of course he had no […]
