We'll be sure to visit your blog and say 'Happy Virtual GNO!'*
Time For Some Tunes!
Phillip Phillips "Gone, Gone, Gone"
I have 3 favorite American Idols; Kelly Clarkson, David Cook and Phillip Phillips. (I don't know why David Cook didn't catch on after his win. He really tried on the touring circuit but it just didn't click. His cover of Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" is fantastic!) Do you still stick around for American Idol? Or, have you left and moved toward The Voice?
Time For A Cocktail!
Our bartenders tonight are Carri Brown and Jessica Torres, famously known as the creators of the terrific blog "One Martini At A Time". The stars shined brightly when these two connected. Their enthusiasm for a well crafted cocktail is obvious when see their delicious recipes and beautiful photos. (I happen to think a well-lit martini is quite lovely.) Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 ounces Whipped Cream Vodka
1½ ounces fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 ounce grenadine
¼ to ½ ounce simple syrup
Lemon wheel and maraschino cherry for garnish

I took what I could get and made the best of it. And it turns out I rocked it! I was on everybody's Best Dressed list. It probably had nothing to do with the fact that my date was (#3)_____________.
