Frolicking Chronicles

We’re heading back in time to talk about Roni’s Ireland day trip and the Cranberries concert at Wembley Stadium in 1999.  How do you spend a night, day and mornin’ in Dublin, Ireland?  You definitely don’t want to miss you your ferry.

Haunted Castles, Mystical fairies, butterflies, mermaids and the Headless Horseman enchant us in this episode.  Not necessarily in that order, but they all have Ireland in common.

It doesn’t get any easier than a green beer or freshly popped can of Guinness for St. Patrick’s Day.  We hope you all had a bit of fun and Irish cheer this week.

We are thrilled to finally discuss the Stranger Things Drive-Into experience in Los Angeles.  As Roni went in Jan 2021 and waited patiently for T to go this past Saturday night.

First up, TIP ALERTS if you are planning to attend.  It is running through April 2021. Second, we’re giving you a SPOILER WARNING while we discuss the effortless
Rum and Coke or Cuba Libre cocktails.

Let the countdown begin because its no holds barred.  We are spilling the tea on our splurgy family night out to Los Angeles for the Stranger Things drive-into experience. We even found a few fun facts about the series and it’s cast.

Rum and Coke
2:1 ratio Silver Rum (or your choice) and Coke (preferably Mexican Coke in a bottle)
Pour rum and coke into high ball glass leave room for ice.  Top with ice to save carbonation.  Mexican Coke uses real sugar vs American w/high fructose corn syrup.

Cuba Libre (T’s choice)
1.5 oz Gold or Aged Rum (Sailor Jerry’s or the Kraken)
1/2 a Lime Juice
4 oz Mexican Coke preferred

Pour rum, lime juice and coke in glass then top with ice.  Garnish w/lime wedge.

Erin Go Bragh! We’re celebrating our affections for Ireland and our beloved St. Patrick.  Roni tells us of her 15+ year annual open house celebration while we sip on an awe-inspiring green drink.

We skipped the Guinness and took it back to T’s Waikiki club days with the infamous Midori Sour.

Midori Sour (Three Ingredient)
2oz Midori Liquere
1oz Fresh Lime Juice
1 Raw Egg White (yes we drank it)

Shake all ingredients well, to get a nice froth and pour into your favorite cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Recipe: The Educated Barfly (New York Barman John deBary)

Is it a shamrock or clover? Who in the world celebrates this holiday? Are there snakes in Ireland? Listen in on our conversation sprinkled with facts, legends and tradition. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Cheers.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and we’re falling for Dracula.  Say what? Dracula the book written in 1897 by Irish Author Bram Stoker is a Gothic Horror fave.  Although, maybe not for all the reasons one might romanticize.  Our current obsession is a TRUE LOVE story of FRIENDSHIP, LOYALTY and LOVE.

1 part Coconut Rum, Peach Schnapps and Vodka
Shake over ice and strain into shot glass.
Splash of grenadine for the finish.

Do not be fooled by Hollywood versions.  SPOILER ALERTS ahead if you haven’t read the book or seen Coppola’s 1992  movie version.

Our little sister's Birthday Twin, Edgar Allan Poe has always been a Macabre staple... Born January 19th, 1809. Yet, we never took the time to really get to know him. In this episode, we learn how the Baltimore Ravens got their name. How Edgar has been perceived as an alcoholic, gambler, womanizer. When actually... quite possibly was none of the above. A literary genius, that had enormous tragedy and struggles. A complex man who every Horror and Macabre fan admires. There are some fantastic travel destinations where EAP lived, from Richmond to Baltimore, to the Bronx. 

Dry January continues, T* and her berry puree's and Roni* drinking her basic Milk. Haha... 

Join us as we get into the Life of Edgar Allan Poe!
