what’s summer without frozen drinks? new book…
so what’s summer without frozen drinks? especially a summer such as this. here in the northern hemisphere, we’re practically being roasted by heat waves and record breaking temps on an almost daily basis. personally, i love it! but i am in the minority, as most love their air conditioners a whole lot more. in this respect, global warming ain’t so bad. to me, there is no greater pleasure than sitting out on my beautiful porch, enjoying the steamy night heat, sipping the frozen beverage i just whipped up. now that, my friends, is a little piece of heaven on earth. sound good? if so, go get yourself a blender and 101 BLENDER DRINKS by kim haasarud. this new book is chock full of creative concoctions, such as the “brazilian pepper crush,” which calls for cachaca, jalapeno-orange marmalade, grenadine, kumquats and of course, ice: wow!
