| ULANDA |
Good Grief - October already! Why, you might ask, is this month's blog entitled Optimistic October. Well, went to a meetup group get together and was "optimistic" that a fair time might finally be had and it was unexpectedly good in fact. Really enjoyed the people and had our first Oct. drink - the Ulanda @ Buffalo Wild Wings on Eastwood. Not sure why the drink is called the Ulanda- ingredients are: I can't remember and Pernod. For those unfamiliar with Pernod - it's licorice tasting so since the establishment did not have Pernod, we substituted Sambuca. It was quite a good sipping drink. ULANDA - kinda sounds like a victory call! ULANDA - finally got through a night without crying! ULANDA - life really does go on! ULANDA - You landa on your feet ... eventually!
Next stop - Halloween....Dressed as Vampires (our costumes were really pretty good for homemade), we set out into the eerie Halloween night. Having Hurricane Sandy pass through made the night all the more perfect! Of course, we had already chosen our "V" drink, appropriately named "Vampire" and ended up at Wild Wings mingling with the ghouls, the goblins and the just plain weird that only surface during the wee hours of such a night. The Vampire drink: vodka, raspberry liqueur & cranberry juice just didn't cut it without the added eyeball that I just happened to have with me! Now that made the drink good and spooky. So we only have two months left (4 drinks) for this blogging adventure and we are beginning to consider what next year's challenge might be! Have any suggestions?
