Honey Ginger Jack - a Drink for the Sissy Girl

I am NOT a Jack Daniel's fan ... that would be Hubby ... and like me (and the Tequila), he received a few bottles of Jack Daniels, the plain ole normal kind, a large bottle of Gentlemen's Jack and a large bottle of Honey Jack.



Hubby, unlike Princess, is not a fan of the Honey Jack. Said it's not "real Jack", whatever that means!

So, I came across this recipe to try and use some of it up (instead of letting Princess drink it all, it's a large bottle and shes a small girl ;-) ...) and this is what we came up with:



1 oz Honey Jack
3 oz ginger ale
lime wedge and garnish

Using a tall glass and fill with ice. Add the Jack and ginger ale ... squeeze a wedge of lime over top, give a stir and toss in the lime wedge.

Sip and enjoy!

Now. Full disclosure: I not only dislike Jack, but ginger ale makes me want to toss my cookies. So, I had picked up a bottle of this stuff from Whole Foods not too long ago (for Hubby, not me!) thinking that maybe a better quality (aka, expensive) ginger ale would be better. Umm, NO. It is just more gingery! Uggg ::gag:: ...

This is good, it's tasty and as long as I sip on it, I'm ok, I don't get that throw up urge. Which, if you think about it, this might be the PERFECT drink for me as I won't be slugging them back faster than you can make them!!

I know, my reverse psychology is really over the top :-)  Even better? This fits the Pantry Challenge! Ha!

    Just found your blog and so far, liking it a lot! Between this and that chocolate chip cake thing, you're not only helping yourself get your pantry in order, but mine, too! We, too, have a bottle of the honey whiskey (I can't remember the brand) and haven't been able to figure out what to do with it! But I love ginger so I'm thinking this may be up my alley. :)

    Don't hate me, but I love ginger ale...even drink it plain...willingly! I know you are gagging now.
    Anyway, the honey Jack and ginger ale combo definitely appeals to me. Thanks for sharing, Jan!

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!...

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL fl...

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?...
