Icebergs!




It is getting rather warm here so.........here are some cool photos I took in Antarctica. Let me tell you...these might look small but they are huge! We saw some icebergs bigger than several football fields. And that is just on top of the water.

Martini anyone?

Anybody that knows me, also knows that my favorite candy is a tootsie roll or tootsie pop in a pinch. So, when I came across this recipe life got a whole lot better!

TOOTSIE ROLL MARTINI

1 cup creamy chocolate liqueur (Godiva, Vermeer, etc.)
1 cup Irish cream liqueur (I like McCormick, but Bailey's is good, too)
1 cup vanilla vodka
1/2 cup clear chocolate liqueur (optional)
1/4 cup Grand Marnier

Mix together in a pitcher and add ice to chill and provide a little much-needed dilution of the alcohol. Don't skip the Grand Marnier - it's the secret ingredient that makes these martinis taste like a Tootsie Roll instead of just chocolate alone. Garnish martini glasses with actual Tootsie Rolls or chocolate syrup-coated rims if you're the kind of person who does that sort of thing.

Creativity Test Results

Left Brain Right Brain
41% 59%

You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.


Your complete evaluation follows below:
