As Requested

Since it’s Saturday and I don’t usually post on Saturdays anyway (heck I barely post anymore period) I thought I’d go with something light on brain power.

So, as requested, here is a picture of the shoes I ended up going with for the promotion ceremonies:

And the recipe for the chocolate cake shots:

1/2 oz. Frangelico hazelnut liqueur
1/2 oz. Vanilla Vodka
1 wedge of sugared lemon.

Shoot it back and then promptly suck on that lemon.  The lemon part is what (inexplicably) gives the chocolate cake vibe.  Seriously.  Don’t overlook the lemon.

And last but not least, the picture (courtesy of Gram via Gramps) of us rednecks after having imbibed a bit.  I was mistaken in that ex #2 sat this round out so he’s not pictured.
