As Requested

May 30, 2009 · 18 comments

Since it’s Saturday and I don’t usually post on Saturdays anyway (heck I barely post anymore period) I thought I’d go with something light on brain power.

So, as requested, here is a picture of the shoes I ended up going with for the promotion ceremonies:

And the recipe for the chocolate cake shots:

1/2 oz. Frangelico hazelnut liqueur
1/2 oz. Vanilla Vodka
1 wedge of sugared lemon.

Shoot it back and then promptly suck on that lemon.  The lemon part is what (inexplicably) gives the chocolate cake vibe.  Seriously.  Don’t overlook the lemon.

And last but not least, the picture (courtesy of Gram via Gramps) of us rednecks after having imbibed a bit.  I was mistaken in that ex #2 sat this round out so he’s not pictured.

I love those shoes. Those shots sound delicious, too! Putting that on the list of “things I cannot wait to drink.” It’s a long list.

Awesome shoes! lol I’m such a dork and have obviously been pregnant and breastfeeding for waaay too long, because (and this is seriously embarrassing) I for some reason totally bypassed the whole shots = liquor thing and totally thought you were taking ‘shots’ of chocolate cake *sheesh* I need to hang out with grown ups. lol

I need to try those. Sounds interesting. And I love your big happy family picture – what an awesome (and inspirational) story you have! Looks awfully light out to be getting your drink on though – was that like, noon?

Awesome shoes! And I will be trying that drink sometime. Although I never do shots and one would probably knock me out.
