Favorite alcoholic beverage? So many. Lately I'm on a Guinness kick. I also enjoy a Pimm's Cup. I live in France, so lots of wine. And margaritas are always a good idea. It's 11am and I'm at work and now I want a drink. Damn.

During the day you...? Babysit adults. I'm a contracts manager so I have to make sure they do their work on time and handle hiring, firing, and troubleshooting.
At night you're super hero, who are you? Radiant Nightbird. A friend and I created her a few years ago- her outfit includes green leg warmers and her super powers are flying and a brain that's pretty damn brilliant. Also, she lives in a swiss chalet with an air hockey table which makes me even more great.
Your most favorite recent recipe? DH and I love homemade turkey manwich- just cook ground turkey and then add a sauce made of ketchup, ground mustard, and brown sugar. I don't even measure anymore, just season to taste. I always add in garlic powder and other seasonings as well. It's healthy and delicious, plus makes for a really quick dinner. I love having turkey manwich on a baked potato but DH prefers onion rolls.
Favorite alcoholic beverage? I like liquor. Usually I am a vodka girl but I got grapefruit tangerine margarita mix (with tequila already in it) so that has been my go-to lately. Otherwise, whipped cream vodka with either orange juice and fresca, or with coke.

Wow all of these recipes sound amazing! Definitely copying some over to my recipe file to try. And the drinks- I'm enjoying looking some of the more interesting ones up. Yum!
@newlysouthern-I have been debating on it. I have a masters and don't want to see if go to waste but I may go back to school to get something that's more flexible, so if we ever have kids, I could stay at home mainly with them. I was thinking of doing medical billing and coding as it is usually part time and many times can be done from home. Life is in some limbo right now while TTC.

@cateyes55413 - that sounds like a great plan. It would be nice to have more flexibility with a part time schedule. I completely understand about being in limbo. I'm taking the bar again to have the option of going back to work but would REALLY rather get KTFU and stay home for a while instead
But I guess everyone's in limbo to some extent while TTC!

@MamaZEsquire - I wish! In order to get reciprocity here you need 5 years of practice under your belt and I'm just short of that. Thankfully my husband's company is covering the cost of the bar and the review course as part of his relocation benefits. Studying is still pretty miserable though!
I make whatever kind of cookie crust I have, if I'm feeling motivated. And I dont have the orange flower water, I just either add orange peel or go all lemony. But the draining the ricotta step is worth doing. Once you get the hang of the recipe, it's quick and easy.

Your most favorite recent recipe? My favorite new recipe this year has been a chicken noodle soup. There are a ton of steps and it takes a good amount of time to make it, but it is seriously delicious. I didn't even consider myself a chicken noodle fan until this recipe. You put white wine, fresh parmesan, and cream in this soup. That's what makes is so yummy. Link below.
4 boxes (32 oz. box) of low sodium chicken stock (organic if possible)
2 onions, peeled and diced
4 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 lemon, sliced
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 bay leaves
1 chicken bouillon cubes
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cups sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
3 tbsp parsley, chopped
2/3 cup white wine
2 tsp rosemary, chopped
1/2 cups grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
1 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
1 bag of broad egg noodles
Directions:
Put the chicken and all the listed above ingredients until salt and pepper into a large pot on the stove and simmer for about 1 hour or until chicken is tender.
Remove chicken and place on a plate to cool. Strain broth through a colander into another large bowl. Discard any remnants left into the colander.
Shred chicken meat and discard any bones or skin.
Return broth to the large pot, place back on heat and bring back to a gentle boil. Add meat back to the broth.
Add carrots, celery, mushrooms, rosemary and parsley and cook for half an hour. Feel free to add a bit of water to the broth if the stock has really cooked down.
Add wine, cheese and heavy cream. Add the bag of broad egg noodles and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Favorite alcoholic beverage? In the summer, definitely sangria. I have a new favorite wine right now also that is Sequin Pinot Grigio. It has a slight carbonation and is delicious.
laze around on my butt at home until about 4 pm, then I clean and get dinner ready.
