MARTINI MONDAY – (enjoy the first evening of the week
with a cool cocktail and a easy snack!)

 

There are a couple days left before the celebration of the year! No not Superbowl!!! New Year’s Eve people. So here is a nice champagne recipe and a delicious little appetizer recipe for you. And if you don’t happen to know the words to the old Scottish song Auld Lang Syne, I’ve included those down below. If you don’t learn them, just blame in on the drunken stupor you’re in. Ta Da! Or just keep kissing your cutie through the song. Whatever works for ya.

AULD LANG SYNE

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

Laugh, learn and liven up your taste buds!
