Pina Colada

Recipe, Courtesy of Patricia Bolger

I left the “The Big Guy” at home to rake leaves and stuff giant brown garbage bags with dead plants from the gardens and I went off on a short vacation to the Dominican Republic with my daughter-in-Law.

I lounged through the days and enjoyed all the hot sun, blue skies, white sand, turquoise pool water, warm sultry evenings and the fabulous buffet foods. I am sure “The Big Guy” was cooking with abandon, leaping around the kitchen in his Manmade briefs, waving a glass of red wine, gyrating to ‘70s rock music, making cheese toast and creating gourmet extra-cheese Kraft dinners.

Alternately, I envision his stomach pulling him down the street to Westney’s for every breakfast and evening meal. It is what it is!

I have added a recipe here that will add a little “ray of sunshine” to your day! There is nothing like sipping on a tall frosty Pina Colada to glaze over your eyesight and put you in the mood to search on Google to find a warm tropical spot for a short get-a-way during those cold, dark winter days that are surely coming. 

I have to say, it will change your perspective and reset your internal clock to Island Time!
