Caipirinha - the Brazialian version of the mojito. It's twice as sweet and more potent than the mojito and Mondo has learned how to make them! Last night she put in the effort of juicing limes, portioning shots, and doing extra supply runs to make the drinks just right. The best part is that she mastered the Caipirinha! Add in the Robot Chicken DVD for entertainment value and it was a relaxing beach night!
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...
Yes, they were delicious, but, *sigh* why did I get elected to finish everyone's drink?
