speaking of vices......

i go in waves of drinking way to many "starbs" (starbucks mocha) while i am working to much in the studio, sleeping less than i should, and not catching enough yoga (aka-now)....so, this post is a reminder to myself to make this as my hardcore caffeine alternative, then, i wouldn't need to race out to the nearest starbs just before my head spanks the loose stones and sharp metal scraps on my jewelry bench. and funny enough this fruity concoction warms your body to the core....sound crazy! give it a try. it's made with a bag of pureed frozen sweet cherries with a really large piece of ginger. i use a piece of ginger that is about 1" by 4" or 5", remove skin and chop into chunks and put in a high power blender. WARNING: this will knock your socks of!!! it will be very very very spicy in a ginger-sort-of-way. SO, IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPICY USE JUST A SMALL PIECE OF GINGER. i'm not looking to hurt anyone here, but i honestly love this stuff. i can't wait to make some this weekend....yummy!!

maybe i need a good reward system like jen's (see previous listing) for giving up starbs.
