So we picked up a few dressings a shopping trip back. I wanted some ideas on how to make my own salad dressing since we are rocking them for sides more often now.

I headed to Alton Brown for suggestions of course.

- I went with 1/4 cup of mostly red wine vinegar. I mixed a slight pour of some really cool balsamic vinegar my in-laws got for me into that 1/4th cup. A few shakes of rice wine vinegar as well.
- 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, some light olive oil and 10 drops of sesame oil to make up the last 1/4 cup of oil. Some garlic, salt, pepper, and sun dried tomato

Everything besides the oil was blended to mix. Blended the oil for a few secs in there and it was ready.

It is amazing and just like store bought stuff, but more flavorful. I only needed a very tiny amount.

I saw this yesterday and was OMG and Theresa was GTFO we so need to try that. I love the cheaper soda brands and RC is darn tasty, this creation is darn tasty too, but in a yeah that is cherry RC kind of way.

meh…..

A while back, some lads walked up to the bar and wanted a shot, but didn’t know what. One thing to keep in mind, is that since I work at a country club, there isn’t a lot of options for making shots available to me. Not a lot of fruity, liqueur-y, schnapps-y things. I have to make do with what I can. Some quick thinking and that’s how I cam up with the “Red Lobster”. In a shot glass, pour:
• 1/2 ounce Pomegranete Liqueur (I used DeKuyper Pomegranete Liqueur)
• 1/2 ounce Cinammon Schnapps (I used Bols Red Stinger [No longer available. I guess the bottle is that old])
• 1/2 ounce Whiskey (I used Jack Daniels)
Just pour ‘em into a shot glass and give it a shake for the right color. Or, if you’re a fancy sort, pour ‘em (carefully) in the order given and they should layer (the Pomegranete might need to be mixed with a little sugar to get the schnapps to float in the middle). Enjoy!
