EP 36 - Welcome to summer and being in the GREEN! In order to escape the yellow we head to an area where things were just beginning to turn around. My co-host, Jen and I head up to State College for some dine-in eating, Trader Joe’s, ice cream, and light shopping for “inappropriate” grilling accessories. We discuss the day’s delights outdoors at my house as well as my new discission to become sober.
Something a little different, rather than a Signature Drink we have a Signature Treat. It's called a Dole Whip and to make your own you will need:
1 bag of frozen pineapple
I can of full fat coconut milk
2 TBSP of sugar or sugar substitute
Ice cream maker (optional, but recommended)
Whipped Cream (optional)
Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. You may want to soften the frozen pineapple chunks just a bit. Pour into ice cream maker and process for about 5 minutes. You may opt out of using the ice cream maker, but your whip will be less smooth. Freeze any leftovers for future serving. Top with whipped cream or enjoy plain.

2 oz Aperol
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1 oz Soda or Mineral Water
Prosecco

EP 31 - The capitol city…Harrisburg. What can I say other than it’s come a long way. My co-host, Jen W., takes me on an adventure that includes the most fantastic donut EVER found at Broad Street Market to be paired with two of my favorites - a London Fog & books. We try a few crazily flavored ice creams at The Urban Churn. Who says you can’t enjoy a cold treat in the winter?!?! We enjoy a vegan lunch at the Vegetable Hunter and take in the beautiful murals along 3rd Street. Plus a few other unplanned haunts. No libations during the episode because we are recording in Jen’s Toyota.
It was a fun ride and we went over a LOT of cool things to check out. Here are some links to learn more!
