Gradual Healing 36: Halloween Happenings

This is Edward's Sheriff costume. I just pictured it minus the jacket with a badge and toy gun.

This is Bella's saloon girl costume.

This is Bella's lingerie that she fought Alice about.

This is Ben's devil costume.

This is Angela's angel costume. Not very innocent if you ask me. ;)

This is Angela's lingerie. I thought it was a nice contrast to the costume.

This is Jasper's costume.

This is Alice's costume. I thought it was cute.

This is Alice's lingerie. The woman in the picture just creeps me out.

This is Emmett's costume. I picture it without the long-sleeve shirt and gray thingy around his neck.

This is Rosalie's costume, and it's my favorite.

This is Rosalie's lingerie. Remember, she couldn't wear the top, just the underwear.

This is a picture of the bloody brain shots.

1 1/4 oz. strawberry vodka such as Stoli1/8 oz. Rose's lime juice3/4 oz. Bailey's Irish CreamSplash of grenadine
Preparation:
Chill vodka for better smoothness. Add vodka and lime juice to a shaker, shake and strain into a shot glass. Using a straw, dip some Bailey's Irish Cream into the shot. Once you submerge the straw into the Bailey's put your finger on top of the straw to hold the Bailey's in the straw. Dip the straw tip into the vodka and slowly release your top finger. The Bailey's will curdle a little bit due to the lime juice and you should be able to make strands of Bailey's.
Repeat the straw/Bailey's process to build a "brain" in the shot glass. Add a splash of grenadine to the concoction to add the 'blood' to the mix. Down the hatch as a shot.

I went whitewater rafting while in Durango two summers ago. It was a great experience, and if I had enough money, I'd be goinng more often. It was great. Mild 2 Wild is the company we went through. The part of the story about the guide being thrown to the front of the boat is true. That happen in my raft.

Trimble Spa and Natural Hot Springs is in Durango. We went there for a massage after our day on the river. It was heavenly. For more information on the Spa you can visit their website at http://www.trimblehotsprings.com/spa.html.

Beau Jo's is an actual place in Durango. We ate there once, loved it so much, and went back a second time. For more information on the restaurant you can visit their website at http://www.beaujosdurango.com/display/Home.asp?NAVID=37.

We didn't actually eat at The Palace because it was expensive, but it's there. It's right on the square, a very quaint part of town. For more information on the restaurant you can visit their website at http://www.palacedurango.com/index.php.
