Last call for Alcohol!!!

I'm not much of a drinker but I just wanted to say that it really sounds romantic and I hope you two have a really special night. I can't imagine what it's like to have your hubby away from home so much. It must be really hard.

thank you NeCee...i have gotten used to it by now...he's been to iraq for over a year and then he went down to n.o. two days before hurricane katrina hit and stayed down there for a year-he still does missions out there when he is not offshore. Then he is gone half of the month in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico . when we were first married and he would have to go to weekend guard drill OMG you would have thought the world was coming to an end!!! But sometimes I like to have all of this me-time-i don't have to shave or wear make-up and i can run around in my robe with crazy bed-head!!! i watch romantic movies and me and my daughters do girly-stuff till daddy gets home- then they morph into little boys-watching nascar and wrestling and boxing with their daddy and being little hooligans!!!

WOW what a great evening you're going to have. Sure wish my husband would go away so I could miss him...LOL

Personally I like just a simple beer. Bud Light, Miller Lite. I don't like to just sit and have a beer, but I love it with food, even chocolate. I usually wait and have one when we go out for supper on the weekends. Love those frosted mugs..

That is so sweet. And I bet it makes you guys miss each other more and when do you finally get together, there are fireworks!!

If you want a variety, I would start off with a nice bottle of champagne and have a toast before dinner. Then with your appetizer or salad have a nice bottle of white wine and with dinner have a nice bottle of red wine and then with desert have a nice after-dinner drink like a White Russian or MudSlide or something. That would be fun!

Man if I drank all those different drinks not only would I be trashed, but I'd have one hell of a hang over.

Okay mixed drinks are my specialty, mine are super strong & taste awesome. My current drink right now is an Absolute Sea Breeze, I also love the Rum Runner

Absolute Sea Breeze
-Fill almost half the glass with Absolute Citron (or another citrus vodka)
-Fill rest of the way with Pinapple
-Splash of Cranberry on top

Not sure how to make a Rum Runner if anyone knows please post the recipe.

-I also make a Killer Fuzzy Navel, Bicardi Lemonade, & Dream Sicle

Sounds like a really special time! I really like strawberry daquiris. I make them homeade all the time. You just buy the mix at walmart or a liquor store, add tequila and ice. Put it in a blender and blend it up! Very good. But watch out because by the time that you get through a couple of drinks, you start adding more of the tequila

Hubby and I are BIG wine fans. I'm just the opposite of you...I can drink wine all night long, but if I have a mixed drink, I'm out before the count! Oh, and dom perignon, who wouldn't like that stuff?! I would NEVER spend that much money on a bottle of champagne, though. I like the cheaper stuff just as well.

If you want to make it a Mexican night, I have a KILLER recipe for Chicken Enchilada Casserole....it's TO DIE FOR! I make it whenever we have people over and I seriously have them come over the next day for lunch to help eat the leftovers. So, let me know and I'll give you the recipe.
