today a very famous <a href="http://www.astrotheme.com/portraits/a8KpAQayH22v.htm">LEO</a> signed her latest cook book for me&#8230; <a href="http://www.marthastewartstore.com/detail.php?p=107849&#038;v=All&#038;pa=dotw">martha stewart</a> has always been one of my favorite american icons. perhaps it&#8217;s because we both have a scorpio ascendant in our charts &#8212; i&#8217;ve blogged her DIY projects several times on this site. i just love her <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/">magazine, </a>her <a href="http://www.marthastewartcrafts.com/">product lines,</a> her <a href="http://blogs1.marthastewart.com/radioblog/pets/index.html">love for pets,</a> her <a href="http://vegetarianstar.com/2008/07/11/domestic-divas-daughter-alexis-stewart-is-vegetarian-and-activist/">animal rights activist daughter, </a>and most recently, her fondness for astrological libations. yes you heard me correctly&#8230; the june and november issues of martha&#8217;s LIVING magazine feature a cocktail recipe for both <a href="http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/category/cocktails-of-gemini/">gemini</a> and <a href="http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/category/cocktails-of-scorpio/">scorpio!</a> i&#8217;ve been going on about astro tipples for years now, and there&#8217;s always room for another perspective on an infinitely interesting subject. hey, who doesn&#8217;t love to drink with the stars? welcome to the party martha!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marthastewartstore.com/detail.php?p=107849&#038;v=All&#038;pa=dotw">MARTHA STEWART&#8217;S DINNER AT HOME</a> is brand spanking new, and today was martha&#8217;s very first signing to promote the book. she dedicates the book &#8220;to all the homemakers in america, pressed for time yet caring for their families.&#8221; my favorite feature of the book is the way it&#8217;s divided according to the four seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter, which makes eating seasonally just that little bit easier. martha then creates 13 four course menus for each season, making sure to include carnivore, vegetarian and vegan meals among them. along the way, she highlights certain foods such as rhubarb &#8212; pointing out that this vegetable is not a fruit! vanilla stewed rhubarb, mint pesto, rosemary yorkshire puddings, minty green tea milkshakes, coffee with cognac and cardamom and tequila-soaked lemon sorbet are just a few mouth-watering recipes to be found in this handy collection.

We here at IZ are extremely fortunate to have been selected by the aforementioned for the publishing of Charon&#8217;s new column, The Cocktail Sword. Let&#8217;s give her a warm welcome, a big thanks, some clickage on her blogs:<a href="http://theswordswallowers.com/"> THE SWORD SWALLOWER </a>and <a href="www.oddangel.com">ODD ANGEL, </a> and maybe even <a href="http://theswordswallowers.com/schedule/">catch her show live!</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Our Airstream is a Leo with a Libra Ascendant. We know this because we have the original bill of sale from the 27th of July, 1966.</p>
<p>I am firmly of the belief that an Airstream, or any other travel trailer or RV, is not officially born until it passes into the hands of its first family (I feel this way about tattoo machines as well, but thatâ€™s for another post for another time). Sitting stationary on a dealerâ€™s lot or just outside of the factory is a form of gestation, a time of waiting, of being open to growth when the time is right. The addition of the human element, and subsequent elements that it brings, such as the sharing of food, warmth and companionship, are truly what breathed life into our beloved 1966 Airstream Safari. The entire 22 foot length is brimming with stories and history, which we have been continuing to create with it since the turn of the Millenium.<br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/airsteam2.jpg' title='airsteam2.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/airsteam2.jpg' alt='airsteam2.jpg' /></a></p>
<p>Currently our family consists of two swordswallowers, one an Aries with a Cancer Ascendant, the other (me) a Scorpio with a Cancer Ascendant, a hairless Sphynx cat, a Virgo with a Scorpio Ascendant (which, now that I think on it, explains an awful lot about her behavior that Iâ€™d originally attributed to her breed â€¦ ), and the Airstream. All travel brings adventure, all meals are an event and, if you donâ€™t mind me saying so, the sex is pretty awesome. At least for us. The catâ€™s been spayed. (we call her Brundlefly.)</p>
<p>Given the above variables, it should come as no surprise that we keep a well-stocked cocktail lounge on board. Since we have limited space, we have to choose our bottles, flasks and flavors very carefully. There are foundation liquors to be considered, especially among those of us born under signs that are very much about physicality and the pleasures derived therein. We must always have a few staple items on board at all times and each must serve at least two purposes in the grand scheme of mixology. There are social issues to be considered as well. Living full time in a modern aluminum gypsy wagon means our community changes with the seasons, sometimes with each sign in the heavens, and once the level and style of tippling, or lack thereof, has been established, we know approximately what to bring with us to a gathering.<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/sword.jpg' title='sword.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/sword.jpg' alt='sword.jpg' /></a></p>
<p>Generally between 4 and 6 each afternoon the residents of a given campground, fairground, or even the odd truck stop, will come together for some fellowship, story sharing and general face time. At this time each Autumn we find ourselves toting along one of our annual favorites, right as the leaves are changing, when thereâ€™s a snap in the air and when something warm to drink is preferable to anything rocks or shaken. Between <a href="http://www.spelwerx.com/mabon.html">Mabon</a> and <a href="http://asiya.org/article.php/Samhain">Samhain</a> is, in our opinion, the very perfect time for mulled wine.</p>
<p>Wine is a perfect libation for the time of year when active external energies are waning and quieter introspective energies are one the rise. Dryer red wine is what we always mull, being signs that prefer the rich full bodied flavors of the dark reds, and we offset the slightly bitter taste of the darker cabernets with local honey as we heat it over the open flame of our stove. To this mixture we add allspice, ginger, nutmeg, orange peel, cinnamon, cloves and lemon peel, all spices that complement the seasonal apple harvest as well as the other edible gourds that grace our tables during this time of year. On the chance that we lack one or more of these spices in our pantry, or are simply pressed for time before we gather with others, we have on board as a backup single serving tea bags of Organic Mulling Spices from <a href="http://www.rwknudsenfamily.com/products/specialty_items/organic_mulling_spices">R.W. Knudsen Family, </a>four bags of which will satisfactorily mull an entire bottle of wine. A little less than half an hourâ€™s simmering will generally suffice.</p>
<p><a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/cat.jpg' title='cat.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/cat.jpg' alt='cat.jpg' align="right"/></a><br />
Being able to buy locally is one of the pleasures of this sort of ambulatory life, and we explore local flavors more fully at this time of year than at any other. The quality of local wines varies greatly but we have never yet been disappointed by any of the small family owned and run vineyards that welcome people each Autumn to their lands offering the same sort of fellowship all of us on the open road enjoy regularly. Many will package their own combinations of wine, honey and spices together for purchase and it is never a bad idea to invest in such a kit, the ingredients having been selected by those who know their product best.</p>
<p>So as the weather chills a bit we will regularly enjoy the pleasures of mulled wine as a complement of the season, watching the steam rise from our mugs as we step outside in the evenings, able to see every star in the sky from our front yard, wherever that might happen to be. As we transition from Libra to Scorpio in the heavens it is a grand time to reward your previous monthâ€™s balancing act with a bit of sensual goodness straight from your local vineyard. Enjoy!</p></blockquote>
<p>CHARON&#8217;S MULLED WINE:<br />
*1 bottle red wine of your choosing (we prefer the dryer to the sweeter)<br />
*1 cinnamon stick<br />
*1/4 teaspoon whole cloves<br />
*1/2 teaspoon each of the following, wrapped in cheesecloth and tied<br />
(Organic is always best &#8230; ):<br />
allspice<br />
ginger<br />
nutmeg<br />
orange peel<br />
lemon peel<br />
*Organic honey to taste</p>
<p>Combine all in a pot on the stove or over a fire, bring to a low boil and reduce heat to simmer, stirring, for about half an hour. Ladle into mugs to serve and go slowly! It hits you like a well-aimed pillow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>the following was written by guest blogger <a href="http://astrologymediapress.com/">Beth&#8211;</a>thanks beth!</p>
<p>When you dig deep enough you find all sorts of astrological correspondences associated with different mystic schools of thoughts. From the twelve paths in the Jewish Kabbalah to tarot cards associated with each of the signs, astrology is everywhere. Practicing my own form of mysticism Iâ€™d like to propose just one more, that of the mystic art of Jell-O Shots. Now before you laugh, this system is a very carefully thought out, taking all of ten minutes, like most good pop spiritualism. It is based on the Jell-O system of colors and flavors and the propensity of each astrological sign to enjoy them. </p>
<p>There is a wealth of information on the Internet on how to create Jell-o shots, from actual recipes to recommendations to containers, so I wonâ€™t bore you with the details here. Seeing that there is only one good way to down a Jell-O shot, straight up, with a sharp intake of breath, it is also appropriate to do so in a meditative state, full of the awareness of the stuff of life, while reciting your particular mantra for the experience. So mix up your iconic flavor and follow me to the path of true enlightenment, or at least a good time, now that you have the appropriate guide.</p>
<p><a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/aries-jello.jpg' title='aries-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/aries-jello.jpg' alt='aries-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Aries&#8211;Full of fire and energy, your color is red, your flavor strawberry, reminding you of the innocence of your youth and that awful strawberry wine you used to down while trying to woo the women or when the men tried to woo you. Meditation: Slow down and pay attention and you may reduce the number of accidents you experience. You just may lower of your insurance bill as well.<br />

<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/taurus-jello.jpg' title='taurus-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/taurus-jello.jpg' alt='taurus-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Taurus-For sensual Taurus, there just isnâ€™t the right Jell-O flavor as unfortunately there is no chocolate jell, only Jell-O pudding, which does poorly as a Jell-O shot. However, with a little extra patience, with which you abound, and creativity, you can mix up clear gelatin and amaretto for a perfectly delightful Jell-O shot experience. Meditation: Why do the best things in life come with such a high price tag and when is there a sale?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/gemini-jello.jpg' title='gemini-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/gemini-jello.jpg' alt='gemini-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Gemini&#8211;For the twins there are two options, lemon or lime, these corresponding to the two most prolific colors in your personal color pallet.  Yes, Gemini, your wardrobe is just as talkative as you are, to the everlasting amusement of the people you know. Case in point, Hillary Clinton has Uranus in Gemini sitting on her Ascendant.  She has this absolutely hideous yellow suit she insists on wearing. Some people just shouldnâ€™t dress themselves and this might include you. That hardly matters to you as you are just in it for the good time anyway, Gemini. Meditation: Why do people think I talk too much? And why wonâ€™t they tell me about it?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/cancer-jello.jpg' title='cancer-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/cancer-jello.jpg' alt='cancer-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Cancer&#8211;No one deserves a delicious taste treat more, and just about no one enjoys it better than you, if you can calm that nervous stomach, that is. You take care of everyone and then wonder why no one takes care of you, leading you to speculate if anyone really loves you. Relax, Cancer. While it may not help you find true love, a Pina Colada Jell-O shot will lead you in the right direction. Meditation: Can I buy those antique lamps without my spouse finding out?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/leo-jello.jpg' title='leo-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/leo-jello.jpg' alt='leo-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Leo-the color that represents you, your majesty, is the color of sun and the color of true money, gold. And since you are a friendly sort, welcoming all kinds of people into your sphere to serve you, pineapple is the Jell-O flavor that best represents your sun shiny personality. Meditation: What can I do to get more attention? I deserve it, donâ€™t I?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/virgo-jelloo.jpg' title='virgo-jelloo.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/virgo-jelloo.jpg' alt='virgo-jelloo.jpg' align="left"/></a>Virgo&#8211;Classic astrologers associate the color white with Virgo, seeing you are so pure and all. (Yeah, right!). And believe it or not, Jell-O has accommodated you with a special flavor, Margarita, which contains all the sweet goodness of the original. In the true spirit of Virgo, the saltiness is concealed within a pleasing picture of refinement and good taste. Just make sure you donâ€™t down too many of these or your stomach will scold you like you scold the kids. Meditation: Why does my spouse say that Iâ€™m too critical? Iâ€™ll give â€˜em a piece of my mind for that one.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/libra-jello.jpg' title='libra-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/libra-jello.jpg' alt='libra-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Libra&#8211;Reference works are just as indecisive as you are, dear Libra, when it comes to ascribing a color to you. One site said, â€œAny color that is pleasing to the eye.â€ This only reflects your propensity for taking everyoneâ€™s sides in arguments, since you seek harmony above all things. After much consideration and experimentation, this astrologer ascribes the Jell-O flavor â€œmixed fruitâ€ to your sign, as it seeks, just as you do, to achieve harmonious blending of diverse flavors. Meditation: Why do people want me to make decisions?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/scorpio-jello.jpg' title='scorpio-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/scorpio-jello.jpg' alt='scorpio-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Scorpio&#8211;Simmering with lifeâ€™s forbidden passions, you are symbolized by both the color black and red. This is why the flavor black cherry is tailor made for you. No stranger to the world of alternate experiences, Scorpio, you find this flavor association perhaps reminiscent of childhood cold remedies, but hey, you enjoyed those too. Meditation: How can I convince the cutie in the corner to come home with me?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/sag-jello.jpg' title='sag-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/sag-jello.jpg' alt='sag-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Sagittarius&#8211;Your traditional color is purple, leading us to the ubiquitous grape Jell-O shot. But you are fire sign as well, as if you are not so copasetic with imbibing things reminiscent of childhood cold remedies, like our Scorpio friends. Give perky peach a try. Meditation: What excuse can I give the boss today?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/capricorn-jello.jpg' title='capricorn-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/capricorn-jello.jpg' alt='capricorn-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Capricorn&#8211;Taciturn Saturn ruled people are not left out in the cold by our friends at Jell-O. The flavor cranberry was created just for you, with that sharp sweet tartness weâ€™ve come to know from you. Whether you are hobnobbing with the gentry or slumming with the Jones, this taste treat will make people think twice about you. Meditation: What dirt can I dig up on the boss so I can win that promotion?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/aquarius-jello.jpg' title='aquarius-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/aquarius-jello.jpg' alt='aquarius-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Aquarius&#8211;I donâ€™t know why people keep calling you quirky. After all, Aquarius, you are a true pioneer, marching to the beat of your own drummer, showing the rest of us where the fun is to be had. While the world catches up with you, catch a berry blue Jell-O shot that will help you resonate to the forces of the Universe. Meditation: Why do people call me weird and why donâ€™t I care?<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/pisces-jello.jpg' title='pisces-jello.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/pisces-jello.jpg' alt='pisces-jello.jpg' align="left"/></a>Pisces&#8211;Lovely, ephemeral Pisces deserves something as effervescent as you are. For you, dear Pisces, I recommend the flavor apricot, which is just as unusual, just as refined and just a difficult to find as you are. Meditation: Why is the boss looking for me?<br />

Beth is a professional astrologer with over twenty years experience counseling clients in career and relationship issues. Following in the footsteps of mediocre writers who start their own religions, Beth has decided to promote spiritual enlightenment through jell shots tied to astrological associations. She promises though that there is no need to find â€œclearâ€ or that mysterious forces other than natural spirits will not take over your body. However, since Beth also promotes moderation in all things, to the vexation of her family, the use of Jell-O shots for enlightenment does not give her followers carte blanche to get blotto in the name of spiritual attainment. You can reach her at starrynightastro@aol.com for further guidance. Beth can be found at <a href="http://astrologymediapress.com/">astrologymediapress.com/astrologyexplored.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>this spring i designed a marriage sign shot glass candle for arielle &#038; russell. their nuptuals were performed on may 2nd, making their sacred union a taurus. then this august i helped shelly &#038; brendan realize their leo dream-wedding: &#8220;navigating by the stars.&#8221; see pics below of both weddings, but first let me explain the concept of marriage sign astrology: everything with a beginning has a sign. hence, the day on which you exchange vows determines your marriage&#8217;s sign. </p>
<p>the bride and groom&#8217;s sign have don&#8217;t have much to do with their marriage sign, all though their marriage sign can impact their &#8220;couple personality.&#8221; for example, my sister is a reserved, shrewd, sensitive cancer. she got married under the sign of <a href="http://www.intoxicatedzodiac.com/shotglasswedding_leo.php">leo</a> and now she&#8217;s throwing parties. normally this would have been out of character for her, but not only is there a new husband in her new life, but a new celestial influence&#8230; she just gave her hubby a set of <a href="http://www.intoxicatedzodiac.com/shotglasswedding_leo.php">MARRIAGE SIGN SHOT GLASSES</a> for their tenth anniversary!</p>
<p><a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/wed-book.png' title='wed-book.png'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/wed-book.png' alt='wed-book.png' align="left"/></a>for more on marriage sign astrology check out <a href="http://www.intoxicatedzodiac.com/shotglasswedding_main.php">my nuptual readings,</a> or buy <a href="http://www.starguidetoweddings.com/">STAR GUIDE TO WEDDINGS </a> by april elliott kent, or, visit <a href="http://itsabouttiming.com/Home_Page.html">IT&#8217;S ABOUT TIMING</a> to calculate the most auspicious time for you and your partner to get hitched. whatever you do, think twice about saying i do on saturday. the day of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_%28mythology%29">saturday is ruled by saturn,</a> the harsh planet of constriction. </p>
<p><a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/ariell-shot.jpg' title='ariell-shot.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/ariell-shot.jpg' alt='ariell-shot.jpg' /></a></p>
<p>arielle was really into the fact that intoxicated zodiac donates a portion of their proceeds to <a href="http://www.intoxicatedzodiac.com/environmentcharity.php">animal-related charity&#8211;AND&#8211;that we are also environmentally friendly. </a>soy wax candle, recycled paper, the whole nine&#8230;. let&#8217;s raise our glasses to arielle and russell&#8230; cheers! </p>
<p><a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/arielle-russell2.jpg' title='arielle-russell2.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/arielle-russell2.jpg' alt='arielle-russell2.jpg' /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.intoxicatedzodiac.com/shotglasswedding_main.php">TAURUS MARRIAGE SIGN READING PRINTED ON GLASS:</a><br />
&#8220;A Taurus Marriage: Arielle &#038; Russell<br />
When a wedding is held Apr 20-May 20, that marriage belongs to Taurus.<br />
Thus, this union is permanently imbued with these Taurean traits:<br />
SENSUALITY GRATIFICATION LUXURY RELIABILITY STRENGTH<br />
BULLISH DETERMINATION&#8230; A toast to the stellar couple&#8230; Cheers!&#8221;</p>

<p>below we have the<a href="http://www.intoxicatedzodiac.com/custom_shot_glasses.php"> leo marriage sign shot glass</a> i designed for shelly &#038; brendan. we actually printed leo&#8217;s celestial cocktail recipe, <a href="http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/2007/11/12/beholden-to-the-gimlet-leos-tipple/"> rose geranium gimlet,</a> on the back instead of a reading.<br />

<p>we decorated the cake with constellations&#8230; one of which was leo. notice the boat cake topper&#8230;<br />

<p>MRS. SHELLY DIY, used compasses instead of traditional place cards. she glued the name and table of each guest inside the compass and instructed guests to take them home.<br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/compasses.jpg' title='compasses.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/compasses.jpg' alt='compasses.jpg' /></a></p>
<p>the seas were explored by starlight and compass&#8230;<br />

<p>instead of a lame old guest book, we found a <a href="http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/classics/new/00306/facts.atlas_maior.htm">colossal manuscript from taschen</a> with ancient maps of the heavens and seas printed inside. every page of this incredible book was either beautiful, informative or outright awesome. guests signed their names to which ever page they saw fit. (the feather pen was from michaels.)</p>
<p><a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/guest-book.jpg' title='guest-book.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/guest-book.jpg' alt='guest-book.jpg' /></a></p>

(forgot to snap a pic, so <a href="http://galwayastronomyclub.ie/buying%20a%20telescope-ed3a.htm">photo credit here)</a></p>
<p><br clear="all"> </p>
<p>MRS. SHELLY DIY created the three-sided menu stands. on one side she printed the constellation. on the other side she listed the history of the discovery of the constellation. and on the third side (sorry i forgot to snap a pic again), she listed the menu. all the while pasting glittery, sparkly stars across the whole thing. how leo! did i mention shelly&#8217;s a leo?</p>
<p><a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/menu.jpg' title='menu.jpg'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/menu.jpg' alt='menu.jpg' /></a></p>

<p>a toast to this stellar couple&#8217;s future indeed! cheers shelly &#038; brendan&#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>before dining in <a href="http://www.lapalapa.com/westvillage.html">la palapa rockola,</a>NYC, i had been given the heads up as to it&#8217;s sign, which was leo (opened in early august). i also knew that the theme of this palatial hut was vintage film stars from a bygone era, which heralds back to it&#8217;s prohibitionist roots. spanish for thatch hut, this authentic mexican restaurant resides in what was once a speakeasy. i knew to expect photos of old film stars on the wall&#8230; and leo&#8217;s make great movie stars, so this was of no big shocker. but what really caught me by surprise was the other elements of decor, which were so leoan in character. read on dear bloggers&#8230;</p>
<p>omigod, <a href="http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/2007/08/06/counter-nyc-a-piscean-place/">again! </a>the walls are warm shades of orange and yellow! hello&#8230; orange and yellow &#8211; colors of the sun, leo&#8217;s ruling planet (or star)!<br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/lapalap_orange2.gif' title='lapalap_orange2.gif'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/lapalap_orange2.gif' alt='lapalap_orange2.gif' /></a></p>
<p>leo is the element of fire, and there is certainly no lack of that, with the hundred or so candles that garner the interior!<br />
<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/lapalapa_lights.gif' title='lapalapa_lights.gif'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/lapalapa_lights.gif' alt='lapalapa_lights.gif' /></a></p>
<p>black and white vintage photography grace the walls of this fine establishment. movie stars from the roaring 20&#8242;s are a focal point, and you can&#8217;t get more leo than this! the sign of the performer, this cat wants to be seen, photographed, worshipped and lusted after.<br />

<p>and lastly, the sun, center of our solar system, and ruler of leo, hangs grandly from the ceiling of la palapa rockola. a gentle reminder that you are dining in a fat cat&#8217;s lair.<br />

<p>oh but you&#8217;d like to know about the drinks? they were spectacular. of course. anything leo is going to be good. i had the unbelievably delicious house special which was rimmed with chile piquin salt. my friend sampled the watermelon mojito which was refreshingly smooth. i didn&#8217;t get a chance to try the prohibition margarita (somebody&#8217;s gotta drive!), but i was told it was to die for. the other libational offerings include about thirty different types of tequila, sangrias, caipirinhas, margaritas and creative cocteles de las casa. the tamarind cosmo, the diva margarita with hibiscus, and the traditional mexican grapefruit soda drink, the dove, are but a few. if you happen to be preggars, la palapa&#8217;s got ya covered with several virgin frescas: hibiscius iced tea, hibiscus, tamarind &#038; watermelon limeade and homemade ginger ale.<br />

now let&#8217;s talk food. my carnivore friend had the tequila seared steak and loved it. myself, a vegetarian, enjoyed a cactus paddle amongs other veggie delights. if you&#8217;ve never tasted cactus, here&#8217;s your chance. it&#8217;s definitely different than broccoli. september is cactus month so swing on by to sample some mexican specialties.<a href='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/lapalapa_cactus.gif' title='lapalapa_cactus.gif'><img src='http://intoxicatedzodiac.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/lapalapa_cactus.gif' alt='lapalapa_cactus.gif' /></a></p>
<p>visit either the west or east village branches of<a href="http://www.lapalapa.com/index.html"> la palapa</a> for a tasteful, and tasty, experience.</p>
