    […] I can mix mean cocktails with tiny umbrellas and fruit slices balanced on toothpicks  and I tell funny stories I think in my past life I was a story telling barman.  For those who might be interested I will leave this here […]

    This is the funniest thing ever, laughed so loud. Read it to my siblings. The minute saw the bottle of vodka, I just knew it would go this way, throwing the bowl out the window? 😂😂😂

      hahaha but I really was thinking of something like a wedding cake but instead of The Brandy and sherry you use a vodka… but yeah drinking and baking is fun and games till you try to find the bowl and cleaning up the mess in the kitchen (the morning after)
      not that was speaking from experience or anything like that whatsoever ^_^
