People at work had a cookout yesterday afternoon. First of all, let me tell you that I'm not much of a drinker. It's not that I am against it, it just makes me have a hot flash. Or rather, lots of hot flashes all at the same time. It is not pleasant, I'd rather have diet coke, thankyou. One woman takes out a bottle with lemonadey looking liquid. I have learned in my life, when around a drinking crowd that lemonade is never what it appears to be. This, she explained, was limoncello. Being a big fan of cooking shows, I had heard of it, knowing that it is a homemade Italian drink. She gave out shot sized cups of it. It was wonderful. Tangy and sweet, but at the same time, you knew you were drinking something alcoholic. I could have downed the whole cup and asked for more. It was very pleasant tasting. Good sense came over me, though. Thank goodness. I gave away half of the little cup and was soon glad I did. I could feel that my face was heating up, meaning that it was turning a very bright, vibrant shade of red, a bead of sweat started forming on my lip. Then it really started. I'll save you the gory details, but let's just say, someone turned up the heat! Two sips! Geez... So, I head home. Hubby takes one look at me and is immediately wondering what the heck is going on. Oh, honey, it's nothing, I'm just drinking while at work now. Nothing to be concerned about! :) Remember Granny Clampett? Remember how she made moonshine?

But she called it medicine? I can't remember exactly her term for it.. do you? I think she had limoncello in that jug! It has a "healthy" quality to it. Really. Want to make some? Go ahead. Try it! Not me, though. I'll stick with the country time lemonade! Maybe even the pink kind!

Let's talk M&M, the wrapper. No, not eminem, the rapper. There is a new commercial for the groovy summer M&M's. The song that the groovy green M&M sings has become the song of my summer. Go here and listen to it. http://global.mms.com/us/groovy/sendlove/ I am singing the song all day long. I try to have singalongs, but nobody wants to. Ready? You can win cash every summer for the rest of your life......
