It's about time I had a new product...I'm such a slacker...LOL! So here it is: That 70s Kit - Suede Fringe Alphabet.
This groovy alphabet and number set is decorated with embroidered flowers and leaves and even contains a farout fringy bracket. It's perfect for all your retro photos or your 'Back to the 70s' parties! It also works well for those 1960s Woodstock-style layouts.On sale now for only $2!
We're going to experience Goran Bregovic and His Wedding and Funeral Orchestra tonight with our Montenegrin friends.
"Roots in the Balkans where he stems from, head in the 21st Century which he fully inhabits, Goran Bregovic's music marries sounds of a gypsy brass band with traditional Bulgarian polyphonies, those of an electric guitar and traditional percussion with a curious rock accent all against a background of a bedeviled string orchestra and deep sonorities of a male choir, creating music that our soul recognizes instinctively and the body greets with an irresistible urge to dance."
According to our friends, he rocks the house and there will be dancing in the aisles!
Before that, we're going to spend some time at Pike Place Market and have a lovely seafood dinner down there.
Best of all - it's a sunny, Seattle day today!
Since I'm very calorie conscious these days...down 13 pounds so far!...I often have to skip cocktail time. However, I found this "guilt-free margarita" recipe just in time for summer! One regular margarita can contain up to 250 calories (or more if you add some yummy amaretto or grand mariner...sigh!).
Here's the lower calorie (105) and low carb (2g*) recipe to try: - 6 ounces of diet lemon-lime soda
- 1.5 ounces of tequila
- 1/2 tsp. powdered sugar-free lemonade (or try another flavor)
- 1/4 tsp orange extract (optional - but good!)
- 1 ounce of lime juice*
Mix all the ingredients together and pour over crushed ice in a margarita glass. OLE!
*Carbs: 2g using bottled lime juice or 2.5g for fresh lime juice
The first ever Seattle Beer Week is scheduled for the 7th through the 17th of May - a ten day week! It will highlight the best of what Seattle and the Northwest beer community has to offer - from the numerous award winning breweries and world class pubs to a community of beer lovers like no other. Seattle Beer Week is 10 days of bubbly fun at over 100 different events all around the greater Seattle area. The schedule is filled with brewer dinners, mini-beer festivals, and special limited edition brews made just for the event. The kick off event is May 7th from 5-7 pm at Pike Brewing in the lower level of Pike Place Market. They will release a never seen or tasted before Double IPA as the inaugural commemorative brew. But wait! There's more! You know the night can't possibly end at 7 pm...that's inconceivable! (Vizzini, The Princess Bride) Both before and after the kick off there are numerous places to enjoy a tasty beverage or three.- The Pub at Pipers Creek is featuring a Boulder Beer Happy Hour with a release of the new India Brown Anniversary Ale (4-6 pm)
- Beveridge Place Pub is featuring a full night of Cask beer
- Bottleworks is having an Iron Horse Brewing tasting.
- The Park Pub is holding a Boulder Beer Brewers night (just in case you missed the one at Pipers Creek) featuring great beers, swag, and the release of the new India Brown Anniversary Ale (7-10 pm)
For more information, here's a great calendar of events and here's the official Seattle Beer Week web site. Burp...
