Kumquat Mojito + kid’s version

One of 4 kumquat trees we enjoy.

Kumquat Mojito

3 kumquats, halved

1 sprig of mint, leaves only

1 oz lime juice

2 oz rum

2 oz simple syrup (1/1 ratio sugar to water, dissolved)

ice, to fill the shaker

Muddle kumquats and mint in shaker.

Add juice, rum, syrup, and ice.

Shake vigorously.

Poor everything into a Collins glass (as pictured), add straw, and enjoy!

Kid’s kumquat mixer

omit rum

press oranges instead of kumquats if it’s too bitter

Kids love to muddle or is it meddle?

Kid’s samsuta orange version.

Cheers to another day of life!  Who can’t toast to that?

Date with my sewing machine

I have a date with my sewing machine tonight (my man is gone).  Things have been pretty busy and I have been neglecting her.  So, to preserve our relationship, we are going to make this vintage pillowcase (25 cents at a garage sale) into something AWESOME and highly useful, together.  I’ll be sure to show you what happens when we are united with a good movie and some pretzel M&M’s…check back!
