A great way to make use of your garden herbs is by drying them. Drying herbs is not just an economical solution, it's also great to have aromatic herbs ready when you're fixing something up in the kitchen. Among the most common ways to dry herbs is air drying. Not only is this easiest and cheapest way to dry fresh herbs, the drying process is slow enough that it doesn't deplete the natural oils from the herbs. Air drying works well for herbs which don't have a good amount of moisture in them such as Marjoram, Rosemary, Thyme, Bay, and dill. For herbs such as basil, mint, chives, and all other moisture dense varieties, they are best preserved if you freeze them or place them in a dehydrator.
James - I had to train a client around this time so I didn't have access to the blender I would normally use. Instead I put the dry ingredients into a zip drinks lock bag and the other ingredients into the shaker and a plastic container. Because I didn't have the blender I actually ate most of this 'shake' and drank the rest of it. Energy levels are just like normal, it's just the abundance of time that seems to be an issue!
Instead of waltzing 3d motion multi directional over to the bar to mix a pick me up I would usually find myself shaking and puking the first thing in the morning. I would then stumble to the kitchen and mix up a drink, and then gag and puke until some of the alcohol would hold. After a couple drinks I was usually well enough to start the day.
Let's consider an analogy to help you understand wedding shower guest favors. Were you ever a guest at a wedding reception? More than likely the couple gave away some special gift for everyone there. In the same way, guests at the wedding shower receive a small gift that they will hopefully hold onto for years to come--a gift which will always remind them of this special wedding.
Since I had cooperated drinks rotational and turned myself in I was only convicted of one count of mail fraud. My prison camp odyssey began in early 1991, and I spent three years incarcerated. That prison time probably saved my life.
Be ala-James Bond and mix Vodka and Dry Vermouth and mix it in a mixing glass. Just pour it in a custom shot glass or a martini glass and garnish with cherry. add ice if you want it smooth and cool.
Creating something like a white Russian in a blender will be an instant favorite among most children. This is in part because children love frozen beverages. It is also because all of the flavors which will be included in the cocktail are flavors most children like. Since the flavors will be coming from a syrup rather than from a bottle of alcohol you will notice there is less need for milk or half and half. You will end up with a sweet frozen drink on your list every child in attendance will be able to enjoy.
