Here’s a picture taken Saturday on our patio. Consider this TGWS, weekend style. That’s a Barcardi Mojito right there in my hands. Want one just like the one I’m holding? Check this vid out:
A fantastic recipe. The only alteration I make is that I put a tad more simple syrup in – approx. 1/2-3/4 shot.
Like the funky “Boat Drinks” table? I thought it was pretty cool. We’re not huge Jimmy Buffett fans, but he sure has a lot of cool furniture and other doo-dads at his Margaritaville Key West store.
I’m smiling here because at this point my football pics for the weekend were all still good – the games hadn’t begin yet! I’m glad for Rob that his Saints beat the Cardinals, but couldn’t imagine the Dallas Cowboys being blown out by the Vikings like they were. Same thing with the Chargers-Jets game – don’t think too many people ever imagined that the J-E-T-S would ever beat those So-Cal dudes.
So it’s on to the conference finals. My pics (for what it’s worth)? Saints over Vikings, Colts over Jets.
Oh, if you want to live your dream of living next door to The Great White Shank, the house next to us is up for sale. You can find more info here. Believe me, you could do a lot worse!
Fun game for the Saints fans Saturday night. Looking forward to this Sunday night. Big event here and should be a great game. The whole area is buzzing.

I’ll see your mojito and raise you MY MOJITO. I grow my own mint specifically for mojitos. My mojitos are becoming world famous…the great Mojito challenge is on.
I love the photo…it is so you. And I miss you and Tracey more and more.

Rob, I can only imagine the mass hysteria surrounding this coming weekend’s game. I wish I was going to be in the Vieux Carre at the Alibi Lounge tipping back a few Sammys and rooting for the home team.
Jana, great to hear from you! I hope all is going as well as can be expected. I owe you a phone call, big time! Send us all your recipe, sweetie! Thousands are waiting on pins and needles!
