Hot Toddies (Page 36)

Nice!  Looks easy!  This one doesn't have to sit does it?  When you get a chance, can you PM me the Khalua (sp?) one too? 

ETA:  Irish Cream TOPPGAE!!!!!

Kahlua (my personal favorite):

1 quart vodka (any kind)

4 cups water

5 cups sugar

1 2 oz. jar instant coffee

2 vanilla beans

2 tbsp. vanilla extract

Heat all ingredients except vodka and vanilla beans until dissolved.  As it cools, add one vanilla bean cut into 1/3's.  Sit for several hours.  Add vodka.  Place into mason jars (pint) and add 1/6th vanilla bean into each jar.  Place in dark closet for 30 days.

Makes 6 pints.

Enjoy!

Thanks!  I'll be making these this week.  How fun!

No kidding.  It looks easy too.  Gotta love it.  I know what my neighbors are getting now! Thanks Linda!

I'm off to bed too.  G'night!

Morning Toddies!

Mmmmmm....Kahlua and Irish Cream.  Those recipes sound fantastic.  I just may have to try them out.  

I loved it as usual, but agree the AGer stories are the best and this year's didn't measure up to last year's. Last year was just so unbelievable. But I watched it twice already so clearly I enjoyed it!

Have you read the Kona coverage in this month's Triathlete? It's really good and the piece about her is great. She is a machine. It's hard to believe she just got into this sport and is so incredible at it. One of the other athletes commented that she was born to do this.

The kids and I watched it together.  They enjoyed it almost as much as I did.  Alex kept asking why did everyone look sick?  She couldn't understand why it would be so painful!  

She really is unbelievable!  

Not yet.  The issue's been sitting on my desk staring at me for awhile.  Just haven't found time for it.  I'm looking forward to the piece 

So my internet was down in my apartment for nearly 7 hours today.  Talk about taking the crack away from the addict.

I did manage to get in 2 workouts, read a little, and clean my room while it was down.

To make matters worse I always have an overwhelming compulsion to log my workouts as soon as I can, sometimes still dripping with sweat.  It's almost as if I don't log them immediately they didn't happen.

So imagine my frustration when I got home from the pool and couldn't log anything.  It ate at me all day long.  In fact I was in the middle of a trainer ride when my brother told me it was back up and running.  I almost hopped off then to log the first workout, but I toughed it out and finished the ride.

Yes me too.  My computer was on the receiving end of some very unfriendly words.  Haven't left the net since

Well I'm trying to decide upon my second HIM of 2009 tonight.  In fact I'm constructing my race schedule for next year.  My first is mid august for sure cuz the run on that course killed me last year and I need redemption.  Now I'm looking at another in mid-june.  That might work since I'll go on vacation the week after and will be doing an oly 2 weeks later.

Kinda scared about the mid june date since that doesn't leave me with a lot of great training days leading up to it

December Pick-A-Challenge UPDATE!

I've looked at the spreadsheets, and removed people who had "0" percentages. Usually, I try to hunt these people down and taser them, ask if they're still participating.... But, unfortunately, my life has just been too busy. So rather than taser, email or PM them, I just went ahead and removed their totals.... If they show up, they can still enter their progress towards their goals, and we'll just add their totals back in again. So here's what you've been waiting for, THE CURRENT TEAM STANDINGS 1st place: Random Taser me Elmo Cat Stalkers - 37.41% 2nd place: Holiday Knockers - 32.73% 3rd place: Hot Toddies - 31.92% But December isn't over yet! It's only the 14th, and you still have more than two weeks to go! So keep it up! - Dee

3rd, seriously.  I don't like 3rd.  I will lift more I promise
