Vodka, It's Whats For Breakfast

Overheard at work the other day

Triple distilled vodka has a higher proof. It doesn't mean is has been filtered more than others. That process won't change the flavor.

So what is the benefit of that? Why higher proof? I would think taste is more important.

Yeah some Vodka makers say that it is better to have filtered vodka's to take all the impurities out (such as methanol, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and fused oils) but some say the impurities give that brand its character and flavor (when discussing non-flavored vodkas) They mostly use charcoal, that is the best filter

All vodkas are relatively the same it is just all image & marketing that makes you believe they are widely different from one to another.

Oh

My new favorite drink (this came about with limited supplies in the liquor cabinet)

1 oz Citron Vodka
Fill with Grapefruit juice
splash of Pomegranate juice
the juice from a freshly squeezed half of a lime

salting the rim of the glass is optional
some bartenders might call this a variation of a Ruby Slipper

Saratee Bling




This winter I have 3 different projects going on & one has been making jewelry- By curiosity I posted it on the Etsy website- It is a storefront for HOMEMADE items- You should browse the site- I have found some awesome finds that I want to purchase (as soon as I figure out this PayPal thing) I intend to sell photographs and watercolors also but haven't found the time to finish those projects nonetheless post them on my store- My store is bare bones right now but would like to get better photographs up of my bling and describe them better- My wishful thinking would be that the jewelry buyers for Target would see my stuff and ask me to make a whole lotta bling- A girl can wishful think if she wants to- Especially if she is sitting in her cubicle at work at 8:10am on a Tuesday morning- A girl needs to be allowed to daydream!

Wanna See Something FUNNY


BUGGED EYED SARATEE
This was taken PRECISELY at the exact millisecond as the Ferry boat blew its blowhorn which was probably about 3 feet from me- My friend Bahar took this photo when we were leaving Port Angles, Washington heading to Victoria, British Columbia
April 2004
PRICELESS

YES- IT WAS A GUSHER!


It glistened as it seeped into the tiny wrinkles.
The pain had subsided and I was mesmerized by the color and volume. We shouldn't bleed. It is supposed to stay inside our bodies hidden. But I had to stop and look at it and think about all the strangeness that happens inside our bodies, that we are never aware of.

Today's Hexagram for Everyone:

Dangerous Depths: 29

General Meaning: Exposure to danger brings good fortune to those who move beyond it. Like boaters passing through white-water rapids, those faced with serious challenges must remain alert; they must take all available precautions; and above all, must keep going forward so as to remove themselves from harm's way. Once the danger has passed, good fortune.The positive side of danger is that it offers an excellent chance to cleanse the senses and strengthen the spirit. Surviving danger brings with it tremendous reinvigoration, and sharpens the eye and mind for future challenges.It is reckless to court danger, but critical to inner development not to shrink from it either. Those who respond to danger most effectively are those who are able to establish an inner bubble of calm in the midst of the action. A calm center keeps one rooted in the moment, alert and focused. Courage at such times springs from focused attention, from a willingness to penetrate the moment of danger to its very core, so as to shape it and transform it

Got Some CROWN ROYAL SWAG Today


Last week I commented that I liked his hat and wondered where I could "find" one- He brought me one today, I am wondering if it is a HOT item?? but his hat had the Crown Royal insignia- the red Crown on a purple pillow- I jokingly said he had sewn this one at home- Then he corrected me and said
"it is embroidered"
I have my eye on a swag whiskey glass- That will be a "gift" as well
