Sweat it out

People that have never been to Minnesota seem to think it's always cold. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are the land of 10,000 lakes. With all that standing water comes humidity like you've never known as well as an assload of mosquitoes. When it's 95 in the shade, the best time is found out in the backyard with a cooler of frosty ice cold beer and a good book. Sometimes however, you need some kinda drink that takes u away and puts you in island mood. Here are a couple:

Monkey La La 1 part vodka, 1 part kahlua, 2 parts creme de cocoa, 3 parts milk. Blend and chill

Pain Killer 2 parts dark rum, 1 part cocoa creme, 4 parts pineapple juice, 1 part oj. mix, chill, and top with a dash of nutmeg.

As for reading...I've got 3 new reads: American Empire: Before the fall, Creature from Jekyl Island, and Carl Hiaasen's latest "Star Island". I'm going with Star Island. Cheers!
