Friday Recipe: Mixed Drink-Coconut Water with Whiskey

I've found a new favorite drinks website. I can't believe I've never seen The Bar before! Where or where have I been? So, this week it's Coconut Water and Whiskey. Or Whisky if you prefer. I've never had Buchanan's Scotch Whisky and am not sure how it'll mix with coconut water, but this weekend I definitely aim to try!

Downton Abbey Season 4

Who's excited with me? Yes, I know you are, it's been a rough few months waiting for the new season. January 5, 2014--mark your calenders! It's still a long way off, but I just saw this cast photo and needed to share.

Seduction of my Proper Wife #review

This is from the beginning of the year but I just saw it now from Confessions From Romahollics

The erotic encounter between Aria and Lillian is very well narrated, and the ménage-a-trois with Philip makes for a very, very hot story. This love-ménage story is beautiful and sexy played out in an exotic Middle Eastern enclave in the heart of Paris, the city of love. Kristable Reed, the author, has a very good style and she has a good narrative rhythm.

Birthdays now are nights out, weekends away, and lots and lots of birthday wishes phone calls. It's always nice to have your birthda...

Thursday DIY: Keeping chipmunks away the organic way

Something was eating my veggies. Leaves were gone, in some cases the leaves were totally stripped. Like in the case of my poor tomato plants. All the leaves were stripped from the stem.

At first I thought it was a mole or vole or some other mole-vole-like creature--are gophers and groundhogs related? No, wasn't any of them.
