Eleven Days... An Update?

Eleven days is a long enough break from Blogger. I'm not quite sure why I haven't blogged sooner, but let's see if I can't update on what's going on in my life.

Andrew and I "exchanged" Christmas gifts early because we couldn't wait to tell each other. I am getting him this bad boy. It's a Plasma Cutter and it will make working on his cars super easy and fun! And he's getting me a Chi straightener and an elliptical. I'm gonna look secksi with super straight hair! Yay! And this way I'll actually get back into shape because, as you may have guessed, I still haven't gone to the gym.

Surprised? Thought so.

Andrew also bribed Sam with some delicious burgers so that he could have his Christmas present early; it worked. We now have Mario Kart for the Wii on the video screen at all times. Let me tell you: using the wheel is way harder than it looks. Over-correcting is something that you have to avoid! Something that you have to practice... until 2:00 in the morning... every morning.

Work has been okay. Made an organized binder to help keep all ordering, cleaning tasks, specialty drink recipes, and other miscellaneous stuff in a neat place, hired a new girl for the weekend graveyard shift, and I requested my birthday off [21, here I come! I don't really care about drinking, but you WILL see me at the casino! Cha CHING!!]. Learned how to make a blended flavoured lemonade, found out that we are going to need some new flavours in stock, and learned a sweet new drink: the Black and White Mint Macchiato. I haven't tried it, but I made it with Rochelle and she loved it.

How to make an iced one:
-Use the regular amount of Peppermint Syrup for whatever size drink you are making.
-Add ice
-Add milk
-In a separate cup, mix about 3/4 the amount of Chocolate Sauce and 3/4 the amount of White Chocolate Powder.
-In this cup, add espresso shots and stir thoroughly.
-Pour espresso/chocolate mixture on top of the iced drink
-Enjoy!

I don't understand the concept of a stacked Macchiato though. I mean, a lot of people order it that way, but--coming from someone who hasn't tried it--it doesn't sound all that appetizing. "Hello sip of syrup! Hello milk! Hello coffee! Hello syrup!" etc. I would rather have it all mixed and be saying, "Hello Heaven!" ...but that's just me.

I haven't tried White Chocolate Sauce yet, so I don't know if it's as appetizing with that substituted for the White Chocolate Powder. Actually, I don't really try all that much stuff. I'll just drink hot or iced tea, hot or blended chai, or a blended Caramello Mocha with Toddy shots. No switching it up, ever.

...Is that really all that has happened in eleven days? I know I got sick and am now feeling better, I got a tea pot and have been drinking tea regularly, got a food chopper and a food slicer, and a refresher of chips [Spicy Nacho Doritos and Hickory BBQ from Lays]. That's it! Have a good day!
