It’s freaking cold out there people. To keep me timbers from shivering, i’m kickin’ it old-world style with me hot buttered rum, made possible by my new red KitchenAid seven-speed hand mixer, courtesy of my boss at Wired. Thanks J!

HOT BUTTERED RUM
as poured by Trader Vic’s (well, sort of. This is Saveur’s adaptation)

3/4 LB Softened butter

1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar

1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

pinch ‘o salt, matey

Beat butter and dark brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the spices and beat again to combine. This shiznit makes about 16 drinks and can be stored in the fridge for 2 weeks.

When you’re ready for a nip, put two tablespoons of th shiznit in a mug with 1 1/2 oz. aged rum and fill with boiling water. Stir to melt and mix. drink right away.

I have accomplished listening to all of Joanna Newsoms albums and actually eventually loving her to death. Ive heard her a few times in the last few years but she has never stuck. I never thought she would either. I was always kinda annoyed at her music and didnt have the patience.. A friend and I did a c.d swap over thanksgiving and he gave me all her albums. I thought to myself Jeez Louise!. But kindly thanked him and now Hot Dog! Boy am I glad. She is the cutest little bean of a singer/ harpist…

It has been sooo cold my lil toes are about to freeze off!! It has totally thrown off my schedule and has made me soo tired.. So tired I have barely left the house… Lucky for me I love my lil abode and can amuse my self and do lotsa art stuff for hours. Tomarrow though im out- off to the big city! Possibly gonna check out the Alexander Girard exhibit at the SF MOMA.. Im on a quest for some new inspiration besides my own. I need some refreshment! AND I dont mean hot totties!
So I believe my purses are gonna be the first things in my lil shop I just need to add some chain. Im getting pretty jazzed on them and of course wanna keep them all. But they need to be set free and dispersed across the land. I used a paint brush today for a few of them which was a big accomplishment for some one like me who has a phobia of the brush. Its fun taking a boring old purse and helping it come to life.. Lovely lovely

So im off to finish my sketch for my next Gocco experiment. Yeh ill probably tell you about that later. hee hee snort snort
