Halloween Drinks, Date Night, and a Bit of Snark

Fun drinks for the week to share with the super fun T-day garng who meet up at Elizabeth's blog.

This is filled with Poweraid. or something like it.  My daughter drove to the town where Vampire Diaries is filmed and drank one.  I can't believe she didn't bring me one back!

She had this one at one of the local bars that is often in the show.  She said it was very strong and infused with herbs.  I love the spooky color. 

This one was my drink.  Of course, I bought it for the can.  It liked it, but I didn't love it.  

Hubby took me on a date night this week. We split a molcajeta (edited to fix spelling) bowl, and it was wonderful!  

Update:  Around here the restaurants do a pinto bean, onion, red chili, and bell pepper base, then add a block of queso type cheese a grilled jalapeno, and grilled chorizo, shrimp, pork, steak and chicken. HERE is a link to a video about it.  Everyone puts a different spin on it. 

I hadn't had one since my last gal bladder attack. No more gal bladder so I could risk it. 
Of course, I have a card to share too.  I just got my ArtStacks people and couldn't resist playing with one of them.  A bit of Victorian snark - do you think she really means it?  The sentiment is DRS Designs. 
Hope you have a wonderful week.

Hugz, 

Nancy

    I don't know what a muachaltie bowl is, but I am glad you could enjoy it. Loved that card on SCS, too. Great post, Nancy. Happy T Day!

    Hi, a very fun post-enjoyed seeing all the different drinks, not familiar with the muachalti bowl either but looks good if not too spicy. Great card too-Happy T wishes

    I have also not heard of a muachaltie bowl, and my internet search only showed bowls with nothing in them. I guess without a gall bladder, the food must have been good. What was in it? It looked rather gross to me (SORRY).

    I really liked your card and can't quite understand how it was snarky. It sure looked like she was caring. Maybe I'm misinterpreting it.

    I DID enjoy those drinks. I thought I had long fingernails, but your daughter's put mine to shame. Maybe I need to paint mine someday, but I sure like hers and that bloody drink she shared with us. Of course, I also liked the Grit Kisses, too. I actually laughed when I saw that.

    Thanks for sharing your muachaltie bowl, your snarky card, and your various drinks with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy. Just wonderful and fun drinks indeed.

    Love those fun drinks, although I don't think I would want to drink them! Glad you can eat more of what you like now that the gall badder is out, but your bowl is something I have never heard of. Perhaps you can tell us what's in it another time! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

      Valerie, around here the restaurants do a pinto bean, onion, red chili, and bell pepper base, then add a block of queso type cheese a grilled jalapeno, and grilled chorizo, shrimp, pork, steak and chicken. The meat is all grilled and the base comes out bubbling. You can mix it all togeher or eat it like fajitas in a tortilla. We do both.

    The muachaltie bowl looks very yummy. I had to look up muachaltie but Google came up with nothing, so it must be a local thing. Is it Mexican? Does muachaltie refer to the material the bowl was made of or the recipe? It looks really tasty. It's great to have a date night. I think we don't do it often enough. But then we are retired and see each other every day.
    The halloween drinks are fun. Other people have written about Halloween drinks too. Yours takes the biscuit.
    Happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

    The drinks all look like fun Nancy, I'm not sure I would drink the first one though, your daughter is very adventurous. I'm glad you enjoyed your date night, the food looks lovely and I like your card, your Victorian lady certainly looks rather stern, she doesn't look like she is thinking anything nice!

    So many cool drinks today Nancy for T. I'm not the grey drink your daughter had looks that appealing, but it is wonderful for the spookiness. I do like your beer can. Too bad it didn't taste as good as the can looks. That is such a cool can. And what are Art Stacks? I need to go look that up. That lady is great, as is your card. It is nice to find some people other than TH's, although his are pretty good. Have a great T day Nancy and week ahead. Hugs-Erika

    I am so glad you could enjoy the meal. I have had my gallbladder gone for about 8 years now and that meal would knock me for a loop, LOL Everyone is different when they have the gallbladder removed. As for the drinks, I so want the fist one to hang in my room. That is too cook. I do like that graveyard grey color of the bar drink too.
    Have a great day today.

    Creeeeepy beverages this week! What fun. I would like that dinner but not too much of it. Google also failed to inform me what it was. It didn't even find the mention that's right here in your blog post.

    The creepy beverages are so fun, but I'd have to pass on your spicy dinner. Love the card. I took "bless" in the Southern sense 😉 Happy T Day

    Morning! Sorry I'm sooo late, but I think we're hours behind you! (or mabe in front) What fabUlous drinks! My mug usually has Hot chocolate in it..that way, when it gets cold I can still drink it! I wonder what the blood one tastes like. I had ButterBeer when we visited (years back) Harry Potter. That was very sweet! Thank you for your visit. Happy T Day

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This
