Once I kicked👟 my dissertation📖 work into high gear transitioning from July into August, I’ve actually resisted turning away from my work💼 after several-hours⌚️ worth of “shifts” lately!
🎓Scholar Mode = In-the-Zone🌟
But to prevent myself from 🍳frying⚡️ my 💡brain💭 from dozens of hours⏰ in front of my 💻computer ~ executing💥 my challenges while exercising my 💪🏽strengths:
I had to ❤️break💔 away for a bit …
Especially since last night offered my 🌼summer🌻 📺shows!
Complete combo with this 🚢Captain’s⚓️ 🍹cocktail🍸
Beachy Scene: I call this bad boy my Myrtle Beach Iced Tea (as opposed to Long Island) that calls for Arnold Palmer (tea & lemonade named for the golfer) spiked w/your spirit(s) of choice ~ mine was Midori for melon flavor and green color ~ + a cherry on top … Or to sink this ship! 🌊🌴🍹🍋🍈🍒⚓️🚢
That can be served ❄️chilled🍧 and 🍉chunky🍌
Peachy Keen: Other fruit to add to the mix (sweet if they swim in the drink while you sip): peaches * pineapple * strawberries 🍑🍍🍓🍒🍹
🍺Cheers🍻 to this 😅chillaxation😜 session! Staycation –> 😲Vacay😵 😴Getaway💤
For those of you who have enough budgeted💸 ⌛️time⏳ and 💸💰money, try my Top 5 🌞Summer🌅 🌊Vacation🌴 ideas!

… Dog!
{Disclaimer: If you’re a vegetarian, then you may benefit by withholding from reading the rest}
Just in time for the *4th of July*, the Hut has released Hot Dog Pizza!
I tried the Hot Dog crust earlier this week
My version of a spaghetti pizza: Hot Dog Crust * Meatballs * Mushrooms … Thank you, Pizza Hut!
Let me start with 1 of each, please …
Time to dip … And pizza was never the same. I love marinara sauce, but now I’m a fan of mustard with pizza! Wtf (what the flavor)?
and took it up a notch with the Pretzel Hot Dog Pizza last night!
Salami to the left, Jalapeño the right … Spicy ♥Cupid♥ ♪Shuffle♫ There goes my low sodium intake!
Succulent slices!
C is for … Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza!
They paired well with my guilty pleasures as I took a break from doc stats and teaching duties!
I call this the Melo P.I.: 3 parts OJ to my last 2 parts of Midori + Pineapple (Melo short for Melon Midori & because I was mellow when I made it + P.I. short for Pineapple/Piña & Philippine Islands because I was watching Island Hunters that featured Palawan from my native country and Beachfront Bargain Hunt in South Padre Island near my former neck of the woods ~ both on HGTV)
I was happy when Little Caesar’s came out with its Hot-n-Ready Pretzel Pizza
White Mountain Dew for yours truly & Classic DP for Evie + Little Caesar’s Hot-n-Ready Pretzel Pepperoni for us!!! #score
Dipping into Garlic & Cheese Sauce ~ a Pizza-♥Lover♥’s Dream! #PizzaPizza
Now the latest pizza that I’ve tried combines the best of both YOLO hemispheres ~ let’s celebrate a ☼summer☼ favorite!
Aside from mainstream, Pizzeria Lola that Guy Fieri featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is an ultimate on my bucket list!

So, the Seattle Seahawks didn’t win, but all last week and this past weekend long, I repped them with my green drinks!
AFTER: & as in Seattle ♫gettin’ caught in the rain♪ … + I score more than before w/green in this mix!
Midori made its way into my rocks glasses and mason jars!

In EP this past weekend, I enjoyed beverages of choice at the end of busy days, just from the safety of my friends’ homes.
Fine Wine pairs well with baking!
Wrap up 1 Midori bottle!
Chile con Cucumber vodka!
Thanks to my buddy Edwin (my Church bestie Evie‘s bro), we can enjoy his recipe when he visits for CHRISTmas/his birthday.
I’ll call it The Ed-winner!
1 part Midori
1 part whiskey sour mix
2 parts Sprite
