BAD is GOOD!

This is the inaugural post after some sort of "inner" transformation I am experiencing. So brace yourself, this shits about to get deep. 

Like Linda Lovelace deep.

It goes like this. Sometimes bad things happen: You wake up one morning to find that you can't stand your job, or maybe someone has broken your heart. Whatever the reason, whatever the catalyst for your temporary (I use the word temporary because emotions are never permanent. You know the saying "This too shall pass" well that proverb has a point) unhappiness, anxiety, stress, frustration or anger. Consider it nothing more than a sign post, a divine push in the right direction. Even if it feels so wrong. Even if it hurts and especially if you think you'll never recover. Because you will. 

And that's the beauty of life. Of living. Namsate bitches.   

Maisha's guide to getting up when you're feeling down: Sometimes I dance like a lunatic while listening to my favourite songs on my iPod, it helps, I loose myself in the music and I smile. After five minutes of crazy dancing I feel pretty peachy, it might not last because with the return of incessant thought comes the return of unconsciousness, of being wrapped up in my woes-but fuck that shit, I just skip to the next track and start all over again : )

When Life Hands You Limes...Make Frozen Mojitos!

Ok life doesn't always throw you lemons, sometimes it throws you limes, which is pretty f*ing kiff because I can never seem to find any at the shops...

It's time to get your dranky drank on (Viva Craig) we're making Frozen Mojitos!

Ingredients:

1. ½ cup sugar syrup-In a saucepan, on a heat source, like a stove, dissolve 1 cup sugar in 1 cup water, whilst standing on one leg & stirring occasionally. Bring it brought to the boil until it has reduced by about a 1/3, into, duh, a syrup. Allow to cool and voila.
2. Ice
3. Limes-squeezed 1 per person
4. About a handful of mint leaves
5. 1 tot rum per person
6. lastly, some soda to top up with

The Mojito Method:

Now the trick with this recipe is that you just 'wing' it. Go by taste.

1. Place the sugar syrup, ice, lime juice and mint into your blender.
2. Blend until it resembles some sort slushy ice. If you don't have a blender, oh shame you must neva!
3. Put a good dollop of Mojito slush into your glass and then some in your friend's glass and then some more into your glass.
4. Add a shot or two of white rum, the good stuff Havana White & a splash of soda water to top up.
5. Salud!

P.S. What do you call a non-alcoholic Mojito? A Nojito. And I am not even joking.
