Saturday Morning Adventures

Since I keep alluding to this story, yet not having the time to explain the full circumstances to everyone, I figured my Saturday morning shenanigans were worthy of a blog post...
 
Friday night, I had a late event for work and didn't stay at my house. I returned home on Saturday morning around 9am and walked in my room to find a random dude in my bed. I figured a roommate had a friend over and let him crash, so asked either of them if they had invited him over... turns out neither of my roommates had any idea who the guy was, nor did I. We quickly realized that NONE of us had any clue who he was, and with 3 girls in the house alone with random dude, panic ensued.
 
I called the cops, having no idea what else to do.  4 cop cars quickly showed up at my house (quite the spectacle in PacHeights...). Cops rushed up into my room and woke the guy up with guns drawn, pointed directly at him. They then handcuffed him and questioned him.  Turns out he was WASTED, thought our house was his house (he lives right down the street) and somehow made it up the stairs, into my room, and passed out - all thinking that he was in his own home. It was his 30th birthday and he'd been out drinking with friends and doesn't remember anything. We have no idea how he actually got in (all the doors were deadbolted) and he has no idea how he got in (TOTALLY blackout drunk).
 
The cops were great, and the whole incident was pretty hilarious once we realized there was nothing malicious or ill-intentioned by drunk dude. We've all been drunk and done stupid stuff... well, maybe not THAT stupid. The guy is totally mortified, and we have a pretty great story to show for it. I did, however, have to blow $400 on all new bedding.

So, yes, I rarely update this.  Mostly because I'm lazy, but also because I'm insanely busy and forget about the fact that there's a forum where I can record the fun, random, awesome, hilarious, awkward, entertaining moments of my life. I'm currently in a job where I pretty much work every moment that I'm awake (not complaining, it's seriously amazing) and I've been hesitant to post a ton of stuff about my job, but sometimes things are just too priceless to keep to yourself.

In initiation of me attempting to try to keep track of my life at least a little bit more now that I'm starting to get settled into this fancy new occupation, here's a song that reminds me of DK, one of my many partners in crime at work, also known as my boss.  He has a fascination with the side pony (specifically on me because I look like I should have been in an 80's teen movie), thus this has officially become DK's song.

This is what my dad thinks of me...

My dad sent me a picture of this poster he saw outside a bar in New Orleans with the note "It appears you should be in Nawlins." Thanks Dad.

Drink of the Week Guest Blog Post - Watermelon Granita


http://www.drinkoftheweek.com/blog/watermelon-granita/

My guest post for my buddy Jonas's blog, Drink of the Week, celebrating fabulous Don Q rum and my favorite rockstar bartender, Esteban.

Watermelon Granita

This Week’s Drink is brought to us by Guest Blogger Caitlin D. (@catincal)

I’m the kind of girl who giggles for no reason, loves twirly dresses and is the first to grab a karaoke microphone. Oh, and I love cocktails.

Watermelon Granita

I’m a huge fan of outdoor dinner parties in the summer and love matching a festive, seasonal drink to a traditional BBQ menu. One of my favorite bartenders, Esteban Ordonez, created the following recipe with DonQ rum that makes me want to sit in an Adirondack chair with grilled corn on the cob in one hand and this concoction in the other. While the drink is surely tasty with regular ice, the crushed ice really makes this drink perfect for the warm weather months. If you don’t have your 80’s style Snoopy Sno Cone machine handy (dotw actually had one of these as a child), a simple ice crusher, like this Stainless Steel Retro Ice Crusher works great.

Watermelon Granita

1 oz. DonQ Cristal
1 oz. Fresh watermelon juice
1/2 oz. Grand Marnier
1/2 oz. Fresh lemon juice
1 dash of Yuzu esscence

Served over crushed ice, on a highball glass rimed with a citrus salt and a watermelon stick.

We don’t have a picture of this one, but we do have a video we took at Tales of the Cocktail of Esteban making a passion fruit rum slush (which is kinda like a granita) with liquid nitrogen. OK, so it may not be the same, but it is pretty cool anyway.
