Where I Commandeer My Sister's Email

Here is a study in red.   Please note creation of new healthy drink chock full of antioxidants in right upper quadrant.  It is the Tanasi Lodge Cosmo - cranberry/pomegranate juice, gray goose l'orange vodka, and triple sec.  Drink one a day for maximum health benefits. 

Tanasi Lodge Cosmo:

2 shots gray goose l'orange vodka
1 shot triple sec
2 shots cranberry/pomegranate juice - new from ocean spray
(use 3 shots juice if you like your drinks on the weak side)
 
shake it up with ice and strain into a nice martini glass

I've been sick all weekend with a cold.  Sniff, sniff.  Fortunately my unsuspecting sister sent this email a few minutes ago and ZAM ZIP ZOOM!  Instant post material.  I love to commandeer her emails and use them at will.  That's just how I roll.

Need a really fine garden blog to thrill and delight you?  Go check out THE GERMINATRIX.  Gorgeous photos & great writing.  A deadly combination.  Her garden was featured in Cottage Living some years ago.  Fortunately it's very close, so I can drive by and gawk at her front yard garden whenever I want.  So fabulous!

Take it with Nyquil{!} and you've got everything covered. You are going to receive many cold remedies and suggestions; here's mine: Stay Home from Work until you are better. (That pretty red drink might help, too)

You have my sympathy, I am also getting over a wretched summer cold. As to Susan's suggestion, it works, I stayed home and feel much better. Maybe I'd be cured if I'd had a yummy red drink;)...get lots of rest, be gentle on yourself and take care.

Thanks for the colors in your post, and for sending us over to Germinatrix - love those hot colors.
Sorry you're feeling crummy, but certainly some of that Tanasi chicken soup is bound to help...

Mary Ann!
What a wonderful surprise - Thank you SO MUCH for the shout out! I am so pleased and honored, and I'm having a blast reading your blog ...

There IS a cold going around! I'm starting to sniffle - is that a good enough reason to whip up that yummy sounding drink? Oh, who needs a reason!

Cheers, dear!

sorry about your boo boo!

[Lisa Hoffman]

Oh JEEZ....feel better chica.

It's Monday noon and I'm thinking that power tools and a Tanasi Lodge Cosmo may NOT mix. That's okay...later....

[lilylovekin]

Sounds like you have not been drinking enough of those Tanasi Lodge Cosmos. Hope you are better soon.

[Marissa]

Geez! So sorry my cooties are making their way westward. Take the time you need to recup. Took a look at the Germinatrix, wow.....great stuff. She's bookmarked!

Oh I am sorry your under the weather! I bet it is this awful June Gloom weather! Love the gardening site already bookmarked under gardens! Feel better! Hmmm what better to work on the Stencilry 2 class... Tee hee...

[Janet]

I haven't been by for a few days and know I learn you've been feeling bad. Yuk! That's no fun. I hope you're doing better now. That "health" drink should do the trick!

[Tyn]

I'm gonna start my new health drink this morning.
Maybe take some to work for the crew-
Hope you feel better soon!

Love this post too! That cocktail is looking mighty pleasing...even at 9:30 a.m. It is summer vacation, dontcha know? Love Germinatix - that project in Mexico looks just amazing. You guys in LA garden is such an amazing way. Glorious. We in the arid West have such a short growing season. But I'm loving my garden and so happy to have it green again! Feel better soon! xo frannie
