Eat and Sip in the City

Finish This (A Link Up)

Today I am linking up for “Finish This!” 

The lovely hosts are: Nicole via Three 31   / Lisa via The Coastal Chicster / Becky via The Java Mama and Jen via  The Arizona Russums! Here is how I would finish the following questions!

1. I don’t get enough…

I don’t get enough time with my family! My sisters and parents are in Florida and I literally talk to them daily but I haven’t seen them in person at the same time in a year! Ugh! That needs to change asap.

2. My favorite indulgence…

My favorite indulgence is a cheeseburger and fries, hands down (like this one from Hillstone!! With a beer of course.

3. I made a major change in my life when…

I made a major change in my life this Monday when I told my landlord I would be moving out of the North End and in with my fiance to the Malden area this summer when my lease ends. Yay for living with him – boo for no more city life 🙁 Bye bye studio apartment!

Kitchen4. You should read…

You should read Daily Worth if you are like me and need motivation about money, business, and other related topics. And How Sweet It Is if you like tons of fun food pics and excellent recipes. I could go on and on about other blogs to read. No books right now though – working a few jobs doesn’t leave much time for that.

5. ____ is my secret ingredient in…

Laughing Cow cheese is my secret ingredient in (or on) everything. Duh. Haven’t you seen my recipe for stuffed mushrooms!?

    Domaine de Canton Ginger flavored liqueur is my secret ingredient in the worlds tastiest margarita…

    Sub it out for most of theCointreau…and watch the compliments pour in….
    1.5 oz good tequila
    Juice from 1/2 fresh lime
    3/4 oz domaine de canton
    1/4 oz Cointreau

    Shake with ice…enjoy responsibly…ya, right..

    Try it and then tell me how much better it is with my secret ingredient, which isn’t so secret any longer

    I made a major change in my life when I decided to leave the Mormon Church

    Born into and raised a Mormon, five years ago, I made the decision that this way if lifeceasntbfir me…. Surprisingly, my parents didn’t disown me. They were disappointed but accepted my decision maybe because my mother converted to LDS when she married my dad.

    I’m glad I made the change…coffee, booze, coca cola and some you-know-what before marriage just make me happier now !!!!!’

      Thanks for sharing your answers! No problem at all – Sal has been gardening his whole life (learned everything from his grandpa) and is quite the expert and enjoys sharing his knowledge ! Yes – we love pesto – basil pesto with homemade pasta – but especially mint pesto for lamb chops or parsley pesto for flank steaks ! yum this is making me hungry !

    Lisa , i alsoI LUV The Ages of Lulo…wow, that book was so hot…made 50 shades of grey feel like dr. Seuss….

    I can’t believe anyone else even heard of it…it’s a rear book

    Michelle, there’s no back edit button if you make a mistake or need to change something you wrote..

    In my last post, I meant great book, duh, not rear book..

    Dr Seuss should be capitalized
    Also I is I not i
    I will do a better job editing and be more mindful of the diabolical auto correct!!!

    That burger looks good, if it stops raining we’ll make one for lunch on the grill, and I’m thinking I need to make a store run to get mushrooms for your recipe too.
