I saw nothing except my workplace last half a year and I gave up, that is my body let me down and cold made me stay at home. My friends were too busy to visit me. It was awfully boring to be ill and I entertained myself by the internet. I like cooking, so I was looking through various recipes. Here was a nice surprise for me on http, where I got an idea for a small party.My dream is to go to some exotic island, but much work and illness at that time didn’t let my dream come true. So, the recipe of the cocktail in the internet inspired me to recover at home party, having made Pineapple Coolers.

The ingredients are not so exotic to avoid making it. The main ingredient is pineapple and I simply adore it. So, my friends were invited and I made that amazing drink for us. My company suggested that my beverage was non-alcoholic, because they felt pineapple and lime first of all and they were so surprised when I told about rum. This drink is very delicious and it is possible not to add rum, then your kids will enjoy it too.

  5. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  9. Vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Add milk and mix together with a wooden spoon until thick and thoroughly mixed through. Add the grilled corn and mix well with the flour mixture until all the kernels are well-coated.
  2. Heat up a skillet over medium high heat and add some vegetable oil to the pan.
  3. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop corn mixture out and place into the skillet, gently pressing the mound down so it's flattened. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, or until it's browned, flip, and cook another 5 minutes, or until it's browned. Remove and repeat for all the other corn fritters.

Everybody complain about heat in summer, though we look forward to escaping winter cold weather. When it’s cold I put on warm clothes, have hot drink and dream about hot season. What is the problem in summer? I can’t see any, just do the same but on the opposite. Is it so bad to have less clothes on, move faster, be more active, having refreshing drinks? Even children know that liquid is extremely necessary for human body. My niece, she is 5, told me that the secret of beautiful shapes is in drinking much liquids. Can I disobey? So, the reasons to drink more in summer are obvious. Is it possible to refuse a glass of icy soda or lemonade when you have to do so much, but midday is still far?

One weekend, staying at home because of heat, I was thinking about night party. Whose idea was it to have fun when it’s hot even at night? It was mine! I had persuaded my friend to get together, having promised a lot of various drinks. It wasn’t about strong drinks – too hot. Classical lemonade was a must, but what else? I experimented with liquids, ice, fruit and berries. Later, searching the internet I found a recipe of raspberry lemonade on this food blog. “It is interesting “, I thought then. Ingredients are not unusual. I made this lemonade and in the evening I heard -“It’s awesome!” from my friends. The taste is just refined and refreshing. We are fans of this lemonade now. I even take a bottle of it to work.It is worth tasting!

When I am responsible for having a party the main thing I care about most of all is drinks. Decoration and music are important of course, but beverage is something like a master of any party. Being a student I had an idea to become a bartender, but it was changed.
Last time it was necessary to make an arrival party for my best friend who has been living abroad for many years and each her coming home is a great celebration.
In the process of preparing everything to meet her at my home, I remembered two things she was mad about – blue color and Blue Hawaii (cocktail). That was enough to impress her and remind that we are best friend forever. But I was upset with a problem – the correct recipe of her favorite alcoholic beverage. This task was solved on this blog where everything described so clear.

I need few ingredients, not much time and a fantastic looking cocktail was ready. It looked so amazing – like a space drink.
How happy was my dear “foreigner”! She looked like a million dollar winner. We tasted the blue sparkling drink and remembered our beautiful time of youth. The taste of pineapple reminded a lot. The blue color of the drink childish and alcohol is slightly felt in it but the taste of exotic fruit makes it charming and energizing.
If you have no a reason to make a party, try to find it and entertain your company with this space-exotic cocktail.

How many types of lemonade do you know? Have ever thought about it at all? Do you think it is just water with lemon juice? It is what I always knew and I had never asked myself about lemonade types before one thing happened to me. It radically changed my mind about refreshing drinks forever.On a hot day I was outside in the city and I was suffering – I wanted to have a drink so much that I felt myself in a desert. I was lucky to find a small café on my way and I ran into it to quench my thirsty. I looked through the list of drinks and I was surprised with a wide choice of lemonades. Is it really possible to make so many types of them – I thought. I ordered watermelon lemonade. After I drank it I had a feeling like I had eaten a good piece of watermelon. The taste was wonderful. I decided to make it at home. [/su_column] [/su_row] My experiments in making that lemonade were not very successful and I understood – the internet can help me. How joyful I was to see the recipe of watermelon lemonade here! I followed it and made absolutely identical lemonade to the one I had at a café. I make it as often as it is possible during summer. It is so refreshing and even hearty. I am not thirsty and fed after it for a long period of time. Isn’t it a wonder? Follow the recipe and you will be amazed with the taste of this perfectly refreshing drink. Treat your friends this lemonade and everybody’s mood will be excellent!
