Palmabella's Passions

We've been off having fun the past four weekends in a row: a shower in San Diego, a therapy conference in San Diego, eating our way through Vegas, and Casey and Sarah's wedding. We will be home for a FOUR day weekend. My goals are simple. I will get some laundry done, take care of a few last minute Italy details, and the rest of the time will be spent napping or on a raft in the pool.

Here is a drink Brad tried making the other night.

Try this refreshing combination from Tommy Bahama:

Bahama Basil Splash

3 parts white rum
2 parts sweet and sour mix
3 fresh blackberries
4 small basil leaves
4 slices fresh ginger
Splash of Sprite or 7-up

Muddle blackberries, basil and ginger in a mixing glass. Add remaining ingredients, shake well with ice and strain into a glass. Garnish with berries, basil or an orchid.
