Mysteries...

I recently opened the freezer at my house to find four spoons that had all fallen to the bottom of the freezer. No one in the house put spoons in the freezer. So why were there *four spoons* in the freezer? Totally weird. (By the way, that doesn't work for hickeys, if you were wondering.)

Last night I found a cd in my bedroom, laying on top of a stack of burned data cd's, and I had never seen it before (it's a regular audio cd, not burned). So I threw it in the cd player, played a few tracks, and had never heard any of them before. The style was kind of like "maybe I got this free at a show or something, because I don't think I would have bought it. Not in the last decade definitely" and it was also definitely not something the fiance would have ever bought or listened to. I put it into the computer, and it gave me an artist and album name. I had never heard of either. No one in my house has seen the cd before or heard of the band. Where did it come from?

So confused and stumped...

totally delicious (and totally bastardized) mojito

I had mojito ingredients on hand, and decided to make this altered drink which probably can't technically be called a mojito, but can technically be called Awesome.

I used my super awesome five-blade herb scissors

and cut up the mint leaves into a tall glass.

Then I used my equally awesome lemon press

and squished half of a small lime into my glass.

I splashed some vanilla rum over the lime, still in the lemon press, just to get all the lime juices and skin oils into the glass.

Added about 2 oz. or so of vanilla rum (I don't actually measure anything).
Filled glass with ice.
Added (diet) ginger ale to the top.

Total. Awesomeness.
