It's Christmas time and everyone is feeling warm and fuzzy with holiday cheer. During this time of year, well...okay...all the time, I prefer to live my life as though it were a "rom/com". You know how it goes: the perfect song is playing loudly from somewhere while the wind blows my blonde hair back from my face as I stroll in slow motion towards a handsome stranger who makes eye contact with me as he opens my door and I breeze by with a flirty side glance. I'm obviously wearing the trendiest over coat on the runway right now and holding a latte` in one hand while shouldering my designer bag with the other with a decided air of self importance. I. Am. Fabulous. As is my life. Why, you may ask, am I admitting this embarrassing, never ceasing mental reel that I keep? For no other reason than to list a few of the props that I find helpful in all of the best holiday movies.........starring me....of course. Somebody tell me that I'm not the only person that does that...
-Beverages:
The Raspberry Martini
In this scene we find our heroine and her terribly attractive companion out to a late dinner after a bit of meticulous Christmas shopping. It's a week night so ordering the usual bottle of wine to be consumed in it's entirety over humorous stories and warm laughter is out of the question. However, we did use the word "meticulous" in our description of the shopping that has been done so a drink is in order. She browses the menu and decides on this jewel of a cocktail: "The raspberry martini". Not only is it Sex in the City worthy in appearance, but it tastes AMAZING and goes down real smooth. This elegant concoction has just enough kick to warm you up on the way home.
The Gingerbread latte`
I already gave you the back drop for this one....it's in my hand as I throw flirty glances at the handsome stranger and have my hair blown about by the wind. I will only add that you cannot drink this cup-full-of- awesome without feeling appropriately cheerful and ever so seasonal.
