Here's Jule acting cool in the computer room. He and Caleb and Patrick are watching "Santa Claus 3" tonight, which has to be one of the most retarded movies ever made. A good opportunity for me to do this, I guess. I'm hoping I'll have the energy yet after supper to watch a movie of my choice, and hoping that I won't be disturbed more than a little. Caleb sat through "The Proposal" with me last week, and laughed, and even followed the story. I'm embarrassed to say that I watched "G.I. Joe" yesterday with them from beginning to end. Jule was fascinated by the warheads that released destructive green powder on the Eiffel Tower. I at least had the pleasure of cuddling with him for two hours. Tonight I made a Vesper, named after a James Bond villain, and drank only a sip. If I understood the recipe correctly, the Vesper contains vermouth not poured off, and gin and vodka. Blech. Then I was bored, and baked banana muffins, and boiled water to make instant espresso, which I cooled off in the freezer and used in two additional cocktails: an espresso martini, and a Vochacino. Both contain vodka and kahlua and espresso and sugar syrup; the Vochacino benefits from the addition of cream and cocoa powder. The dusting of cocoa powder over the top was a nice touch. I made Pat try both as well and we agreed that the Vochacino was the best.
I'm compiling a "to make again in the future" list: so far it's the Vochacino, Chi Chi, and Holy Water - which I wish I could drink every day before supper, actually. Maybe starting in a year, if my stomach still has a lining?
