From the Bar...

So, you may or may not know this about me, but since being laid off from a real job in April 2008, I have been bartending part time.  Let me tell you a few things about bartending....  First, it is so NOT glamorous.  My poor hands are a wreck from opening bottles, washing them hundreds of times during the shift, etc.  In addition, there is nothing glamorous about pouring drinks for irritating people that over-indulge nightly and think I truly give a shit about their daily lives.  (Having said that, there are also a bunch of regulars that I love and look forward to seeing!)

Second, what's glamorous about coming home smelling like beer?  Nothing.  Nothing at all.

And C - Damn, my feet hurt from standing all night.  I am confident my skills would be much better utilized with my ass planted in a chair and my mouth spouting some snarky nonsense to my belligerent children that don't listen anyway...

BUT, the reason for this post isn't to complain about my rock n' roll lifestyle (or lack there of), it's for my girlz and their wicked tini habits... 

So my friends, here are a few recipes I've got up my sleeve that I would like to share.  Enjoy, indulge, and girlz, quit teasing me with all those pictures of your yummy beverages while I'm busy making them for everyone BUT me!  (*twinge of jealousy*)
