It’s Mardi Gras Time!
Fat Tuesday!
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012 is Fat Tuesday. Famously known as “Mardi Gras”. (more…)
A Dose of Sunshine
It’s hard to think of a dreary winter day when you are sipping on this cocktail. In Season for a short time, the sweet and juicy Honeybell orange juice and the tartness of lemon juice with vodka make for a happy drink. Add a sprig or two of rosemary to give a hint of a piney scent to create the wintery feel. But the oranges and lemon will make you think of a sunny spring day! Be sure to include a little lemon zest to the sugar before you dip the rim of the glass in it. Now taste that tartness before the sweet. If you can’t be in Palm Beach County to enjoy these beautiful days of sunshine…….make your own and pretend you are here!
Sunshine in a glass!
Winter Sunshine Cocktail
Juice of 4 Honeybell oranges – they are the JUICIEST! (about 1/2 cup)
Juice of whole small lemon (1 oz)
1 oz triple sec
3 oz vodka
2 sprigs of rosemary
lemon zest
sugar
1. Moisten the rim of your glass with some fruit juice. (The juice helps the sugar to adhere better than water does.) Combine zest and sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Turn the glass over onto plate and coat with sugar.
2. Pour juices, triple sec, and vodka into a shaker. Shake and then pour over ice. Garnish with rosemary sprig. (sunshine for 2!)

The festival features music, games, fresh stawberries and vegetables, a petting zoo and lots of fun things to do. Pine Jog Elementary invites all of the members of the community to support its biggest fundraising event of the year.

Stop Waiting For FUN To Knock On Your Door
Are you tired of doing the same old thing with the same people? Do you want to get out and make new friends, network for business or want to try a new activity that none of your friends are willing to try? Try www.meetups.com.
You can find a group for anything from book clubs, salsa dancing, cooking raw to happy hours, religious studies and more. If you are not able to find the group you are looking for in your area on Meetup.com, you can even start one yourself. It is a great way to make new friends, meet new business associates and even find love.
While there is always the anxiety associated with meeting new people, especially because it can seem like a blind date. However, the reality is that like a blind date, you can decide if it met your needs and expectations. It’s a step towards meeting people who are not surfing on the sofa in their living rooms waiting for fun to knock on their door. (more…)
Is Your Company Prepared for a Hurricane?
When preparing for a hurricane, you stock up on bottled water and canned goods; but disasters don’t just threaten individuals. Your business must also be prepared for when disasters strike.
Don’t let one event put you out of business. Prepare for the worst with a disaster recovery plan.
Everyone knows you should backup your data regularly. Still, although it’s widely known, how many businesses back up every work day? Even more, many businesses keep their backups at their offices. If a hurricane hits your office, the backups are worthless. (more…)
