Hellooooo Weekend!

No, the second image in yesterday's Photo Challenge post was not taken locally. Actually, it was taken at the hillside home of the Teletubbies. The perfect location for DillyBar photography.

Fairy Dust will make it shine...
Be on the lookout for a new Hiccups. The site will undergo a re-model next week: new look, perhaps new name, and I promise, it will be VERY easy to subscribe. Sending out 26 emails every time I publish a new Photo Challenge image is not my idea of efficiency. And for the girl who stores her drinking glasses one up, one down, one up, one down, and cannot put her washcloths away without first rolling them into neat little sausages, efficiency is muy importante.

I'm very excited about the weekend. 1. I don't have to work 2. We might actually see some sun 3. No sports 4. Only one week until the big wedding and next week is going to be SO MUCH FUN!! I think I might have to make some of these to chill out:




The Strawberry Muddle
Adapted from Bon Appetit by Lisa's Cocina and then I copied it here for you since Lisa didn't have a "link to this post".

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1-1/2 cups chopped, hulled strawberries
6 thin lemon slices
Ice cubes
1 bottle chilled Prosecco

Stir sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Cool syrup.
Divide strawberries among six 6- to 8-ounce glasses.
Add 1 tbsp of the syrup to each glass and mash with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon.
Add a lemon slice to each and mash to release flavor.
Add several ice cubes to each glass, then fill with Prosecco.
*The recipe says that you shouldn't stir before drinking, but Lisa found she preferred it when the sweet strawberry/sugar mix on the bottom was blended with the Prosecco.
Have a great weekend! Muddle your way through...heh heh.
