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

  1. 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!

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  8. 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

    1. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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!

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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

  19. 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

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle! 

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil. 

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
