Blue Milk, Butter Beer, a Stinger and Banana Margaritas

Happy T-day!  I have some fun drinks to share with the T-day gang at Elizabeth's Linky Party and for anyone else who just loves interesting drink posts.

The first fun drink is butter beer (non-alcholic) at Universal Studios in Orlando.  My daughter Allie raised this glass to me knowing how much I wish I was there this past weekend.  Isn't it a great picture?

She also sent me this Star Wars Blue Milk picture too.  Evidently it is a cool thing to drink when you go to Universal Studios.
The weekend before she left for Universal, we went to the Prevail Union coffee shop in downtown Montgomery, Alabama and had a fabulous drink called the Alabama Stinger.  I highly recommend it - I could have drank 2 or 3 of them!  We had never visited this shop and it was definitely worth the time and money - click on the link to see some fun pictures.  Here is a picture of us outside the courtyard door.
I saved the best for last.  In this one we are celebrating that Alex has her job lined up after her graduation this May. They are even letting her work there part time so she can be ready to hit the ground running when she graduates.  It was the job she wanted, so I am super happy for her.  Here we are celebrating with Banana Margaritas at our favorite Mexican Restaurant.
If you are interested in joining up with your fun drink posts (can be any type of drink and can include movies or books with drinks, painting with drinks, artwork with drinks, etc.) just link up to Elizabeth's blog, Altered Book Lover.  

Hugz,

Nancy

  2. Those definitely are fun drinks! Blue milk is especially strange and entertaining. Most of the space-opera type films have very little food in them, or maybe just disgusting stuff that the aliens eat. Although of course Luke Skywalker DID have blue milk in the first movie, some kind of stew made by Yoda, and some granola type thing. But that's in what? 10 movies?

  6. These all look fun. A banana margarita...hmmmm. Not sure banana is a flavor I like. But I definitely want to try butter beer and the blue milk would be worth a try too. But best of all, that is a fantastic photo of you and your daughter Nancy. Congrats to Alex. How awesome is that. I hope her job goes well. Have a great T day, and and week ahead. hugs-Erika

  7. What a fun selection of drinks! Never heard of butter beer. I'd like to try the wildflower latte at Prevail Union:). Congrats to your daughter- how wonderful to have gotten such a great job! Thanks for sharing these special drinks. Happy T day!

  8. Fun drinks these are for sure! Blue milk reminds me of blue soup that became so popular in Britain after the first Bridget Jones movie. I'm not sure what butter beer is, it sounds a bit weird. I love the name Alabama Stinger for your coffee drink. Congrats to your daughter for lining up the job she wanted, that's fantastic.

  9. How fun! I would love to visit Universal Studios. When we were in Florida last week, my brother bought a Disney Parks Cookbook for his wife and that blue milk recipe was included! SO cool!
    Glad you had fun with your daughter. That is great that she already has a job lined up.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

    Great photo of you and your daughter by the door.

  14. I've never heard of butter beer, but if it's non-alcoholic, I suspect I would like it. I had to laugh at the blue milk, not because it is what your daughter drank, but because my friend Sally buys 1/2 % milk and I call it blue water. It has a blue tint to it. I like the idea of blue milk, though.

    Nice to see you and Allie at Prevail. I want the HVR latte, please. Not iced because it is colder than cold here right now.

    Congrats to Alex on getting her dream job. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful drinks with us for T this week, dear Nancy.

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. ...
