Keep in mind I’m just setting it up, so it will be a while before my recipes are there.
There is still lots of other stuff for those who are interested in more then just food.

It’s been a while since I last got ink, and every time I save up to get some more work done something comes up. Life is kind of “fun” like that and well being responsible really does have it’s moment of joys ( like being debt free ) but also can suck.
It would be nice to be able to put myself first even more a moment but I will always put my son first, then home and bills. So who wants to help with my “Get the cute girl more colorful when naked” fund
…over to the wonderful ladies at the tattoo shop I go to.
What you will need:
1 cup fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
club soda
juice of one or two limes, juice from half lemon
mint for garnish
Steps to yummy goodness:
1. Combine ginger, sugar and water in a saucepan.
2. Simmer slowly for 10 minutes, until sugar is dissolved and ginger is softened.
3. Strain warm syrup and allow to cool.
4. Fill a tall glass with ice, add 1 part (used 2oz shot glass) of ginger syrup and 3 parts of club soda.
5. Squeeze lime and lemon wedge into glass.
6. Use more syrup if desired.
7. Garnish with mint.
8. Stir and enjoy the zing.
* Side Notes *
Is good for 2 weeks if left in the fridge.
….I find it amusing how some times something as simple as a new set of water bottles can cheer me up and make me happy. So far I rather like my new Under Armor water bottle, the lid can be locked or flipped up by hitting the little grey button, it keeps things cold for hours and there is a little latch on the back to hook it up to a backpack or whatever.
Now I feel a little more silly for blogging about a water bottle, but yay for Under Armor keeping their product quality up.
I didn’t get to register in time so now I am on the wait list to see if a spot is open so I can do the Color Me Rad run in October.
