My Dark Red Drink

Ingredients
-1 1/2 beets
-1 1/2 cups of strawberries
-2 cups of orange juice
-pinch of salt
-2 handfuls of ice

Method
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Wrap 3 beets in aluminum foil with olive oil and put them on each corner of the edge of the pan (the edges get more hotter in the edges quicker than it does in the middle); roast for 30 minutes. Gently open the foil (carefully so you won't burn) and let cool until easy to manage. Rub with a paper towel to get rid of the skin before dicing it to put in the blender. Cut in half the 2nd beet and reserve the other beet and a half for another time.

In the blender: strawberries, orange juice, a pinch of salt and beets (after you diced them). Puree for a minute or two before adding the ice. Puree well so it's not chunky.

Pour in glass and serve

Avocado & Banana Smoothie

I've been thinking of this kind of smoothie for quite some time now and while at the store, I decided to go for it. Unfortunately my blender broke some time ago so I used my Cuisinart instead

1 avocado chopped
about 2 tablespoons of honey (eyeball)
about 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
about 2 pinches of nutmeg
a pinch of salt
about a cup of plain yogurt (eyeball)

blend it all together, put in glass and enjoy

Jayne Mansfield Cocktail

Apparently there's a cocktail paying homage to Jayne Mansfield. I admit I don't drink alcohol much- more of a social drinker and I do use alcohol when cooking (the alcohol cooks off).

2 Parts Strawberry Liqueur
1 Part Simple Syrup
Champagne
1 Whole Strawberry

How to mix this cocktail
Fill a shaker with ice cubes. Add aged rum of cuban type, simple syrup and strawberry liqueur. Shake and strain into a chilled champagne glass. Top up with champagne. Garnish with a strawberry.

The Heather Webber Special

Heather Webber is a character from soap opera 'General Hospital'; she always mention Ice tea and BLTs (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato) so often that time to time I fix it myself! However, unlike my own ice teas and BLTs, Heather would more than likely poison you!
