April is a great month! The smell of spring in the air in Dubai… well… there isn’t much of a spring, but there are a few blossoming flowers, an entertaining and debaucherous April Fool’s day to start off with and immediately followed with an Easter Celebration and then 3 huge birthdays tucked in between (mine, my mum’s and my bestie’s :) ) its going to be hard keeping track of what to celebrate when.

This is a post I wanted to share about a month ago to be precise.. its just that I haven’t really managed to get my head around it. Amidst the 10km run that I have been training for, and the Bikram yoga I enrolled myself in to sustain a healthier lifestyle, and organizing photographs of Africa; buying time for a blog post seemed close to impossible. But now that the run is over and I am done sorting 7 memory cards (out of 9), I’m glad to say hello to my keyboard again. Continue reading →

mmm.. so this weekend was rather special… yes we had a hen-do for a rather stunning bride to be :)

Tania- The Bride-to-be

so what was my contribution… a concoction to get her drunk as fast as possible; alright the drink wasn’t one of my lethal ones which find you on the floor, but it definitely picked up the spirit. It was “supposed” to turn out like a regular mojito.. but silly me forgot to pick up the rum and I had to make do with VODKA. The simple thought of Vodka makes my body shudder, but it was quite a surprise that I was able to drink this quite smoothly.

You’ll need the following (serving 10 people or 5.. ):

  • Handful of strawberries
  • Handful of blackberries
  • Handful of Raspberries
  • Handful of blueberries
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1½ can of sprite/ 7up/ soda (i used sprite)
  • Handful of mint leaves
  • Handful of Coriander leaves with stalks
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 cups Raspberry vodka
  • 7 cups cranberry juice
The method is rather simple. Blend all the Berries with the brown sugar, mint and coriander coarsely, you don’t want it too smooth, these little bits fall to the bottom of the glasses, and were real fun to slurp up. Pour the mixture in a LARGE pitcher. Add in the cranberry juice and Raspberry vodka. Give it a quick stir spreading out all the fruity goodness sitting at the bottom. Finally, add the sprite, stirring it evenly. And there you have it!
