Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Six – Indigo/Violet

Going to combine the last two colours of the rainbow in today’s post because: a) can anyone tell me the difference between indigo and violet? and b) if you can, do you think I can find two drinks that fit those two shades of purple? Her: Caribbean Princess (not on cocktail menu but I think […]

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Five – Blue

Gotta admit – was looking forward to this day/colour for some reason…maybe blue just feels both unnatural as a food/drink colour but also very fitting for the tropics? Anyhow… Her: Blue Hawaiian Him: Blue Lagoon Bonus: Real Mayan Ruins (grey) in the background that you can climb up to and see up close.

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Four – Green

Her: Mojito Him: Caipirinha (which I believe would be as popular as the mojito if it had a more easily pronounceable name!  Also, mine should be greener as I’ve had them with a lot more limes.)

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Three – Yellow

Her: Pineapple Mojito Him: Pineapple Mojito (They’re really good!)

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Two – Orange

Him = Bay Breeze Her = Mai Tai (And I think it was the lighting or the cups or maybe even my shirt absorbing all the orange in the room. But you’ll have to trust me that these drinks were more orange than yellow – honest!)  

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day One – Red

Saturday Snap – Treats!

Giving two of my kids treats…one gets freeze dried duck liver and one gets Skittles (just have to make sure I don’t mix them up!)

Friday Fun Link – Happy Birthday Shea!

Saturday Snap – Free Food Family (Thanks @TheCDNBrewhouse)

Got a surprise call at work from Great Canadian Brewhouse East who have a weekly promotion where they deliver pizza to a random nearby business or organization for Free Friday Lunch. Delicious and a great way to end the week!  (I wonder how many businesses they deliver to end up even sharing with a couple […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Corona Light? (February 2020)

Our last Mexican vacation was in late Feb/early March of 2020 just as Covid was breaking worldwide.  I spent much of our week taking pictures of Corona beer cans thinking I was clever…
