Kahlua is the undisputed heavyweight in the arena of coffee liqueurs. Has been for quite some time. Starbucks, however, offers us Starbucks Coffee Liqueur. But when slurping a libation instead of a latte, can coffee drinkers really tell the difference between Starbucks brand and Kahlua, its cheaper ($16), well-known coffee liqueur counterpart? Actually, yes. In a blind taste test conducted by U.S. News, all 10 testers guessed the identity of the Starbucks drink–from the aroma, which is akin to sticking your head into a steaming cup of joe, and the taste, which one tester described as “like biting into chocolate-covered coffee beans.”

After whipping up the drinks listed in the recipe booklet around the Starbucks bottleneck, all of the testers became believers. While coffee liqueur tends to conjure images of heavy winter beverages perfect for sitting by the fire, Starbucks tosses away that notion with the caffe fizz–one part Starbucks liqueur, one part vanilla rum, mixed with ginger ale. (This is a personal favorite of mine) Testers went wild over the pool-party-perfect punch, with one going so far as to deem it “gravity defying.” A similar Kahlua concoction was also a hit but proved slightly heavier. In a face-off between white russians mixed with Kahlua and Starbucks brand, the latter won over the coffee lovers with its Frappuccino-ish taste.

Friends Are Family Too

Yesterday was a great day. It was one of those “feel good” days, and came about in a most unexpected way. My friend, Kim, came over and asked me if I would go to the nursing home and trim her grandmother’s hair. So of course, I grabbed the scissors and comb and off we went.

Bless her heart… she really tickles me. You wouldn’t think it to look at her, but she is all vinegar and spice. The thing is, with so little “blood kin”, my freinds ARE my family, and I couldn’t help but notice how easily “grandma” just rolled off the tongue. The real good feel good, though, comes from knowing that too my freinds and their families, I am just another sister, daughter, aunt, or cousin. When you get right down to it, I probably have one of the largest “extended families” on the planet.

I’m a firm believer in “you get what you give”… in work, friendships, relationships… and I thought I’d take a page to express thanks to those who love me… in spite of me… and consider me to be as much a part of their families, as I consider them part of mine.

Adventures in Plumbing

My friend, Amanda, calls me and says “Can you come over and take a look at the leak under mom’s bathtub? We need a professional opinion because Bill (her brother) says we need to take the entire bathtub out!”

 

So off I go… and here’s what I found…

 

See the upper drain hole in the tub?

 

 

That would be the hole where, for about 15 years, Amanda’s mother has been shoving wash clothes and pot scrubbers, in an attempt to keep out frogs and snakes. This resulted in a rotten floor and the pipe being pushed back at a 45 degree angle, and subsequently causing the lower pipes to separate. Of course, there was no need to remove the entire bathtub for this job. Amanda’s brother is just an idiot.

Instead, I decided to go in through the kitchen. Yep, cleared out the cabinet, cut out the shelving where I needed to, and because they were tongue-in-groove, solid cedar, and put in with 16 penny nails, I opted for “ease of removal” by using my floor jack to lift the shelving straight pout of the braces. Worked quite well too.

This is inside the kitchen cabinet…

 

And this is her mother’s handy-work……

After removing the mess…

 

Amanda… checkin things out….

A view from under the house… (just lovely)

Anyhow….. I did get it repaired and all back together… bathtub still intact….

I have to say though, that crawling under houses is SO not my thing…..

UUGH!

8 Random Facts ABout Me

You guys owe this blog to my good friend FoulBastard, who tagged me with this meme. He, in turn, had been tagged by another great friend, Karrielyne. What is a meme? It’s an idea, project, statement or even a question that is posted by one blog and responded to by other blogs. In this case, the topic is “8 Random Things about Me”, and at the end of the post I get to tag 8 more people, and hope they share 8 random facts about them. It’s a great way for us to learn things about each other that aren’t as likely to come up in the usual realms of the Blogosphere. So… here ya go….

1. I was a daddy’s girl and all out tom-boy when I was growing up (and I still am) , however, my mother tried to counteract my “tom-boyism” by having me take years of piano lessons, baton twirling, and tap-dancing, starting at the age of 5 and lasting til my early teens. I’m rusty, but can still pull off an adequate performance of any of them when I feel like it.

2. I’m a music maven, and listen to it 80% of my waking hours. I crank it up, dance around my living room, sing (badly) in my car at the top of my lungs. I apologize to those who actually hear me.

3. When I was 7 years old, the only thing I wanted for Christmas was a 3 Story Barbie Townhouse. What I got was my first telescope, and microscope. Now I’m a forensic science Buff, and amateur astronomer with a MUCH bigger telescope, and I never miss a visible meteor shower. I’ve gotten my son and my friends into watching the meteor showers, and we’ll drive “caravan style” into the middle of nowhere to throw blankets out in the middle of a field to watch one of “God’s Firework Displays”.

4. My feel are so ticklish, it’s a wonder that I can walk on them… really… no shit….

5. I hate anything lemon, including lemon/lime drinks. My theory: if you can see through it, don’t drink it.

6. I am a Java Junkie, and can drink coffee 24/7, and make Starbuck’s coffee taste like sewer water. By the way, my coffee is NOT see through.

7. I do my own car repairs, plumbing, and house remodeling, simply because I could never afford a professional, and had to learn to do it if I wanted it to get done. I’m pretty damned good at it too.

8. I’m in love with a guy who’s 1,000 miles away, but I believe “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. I’ve got the will… and working on “the way”.

And here are the 8 people I would like to learn a bit more about for a variety of different reasons….
