Viva la mujerisma

Mujerisma, n. State of being a strong, saavy, righteous babe in this modern world.


The hippie, the mod and the princess (me, Cindee, Mo)


Lounging, as Kelly hits the wall

Ma Gs got together last night at Mo and Kelly's to celebrate Seis de Mujerisma. Mo, Kelly, Cindee, Sarah, Clara and I (sadly missing were Amy, Flo and Rachel) drank sangria*, ate guac, read tarot cards and sang really loud to the radio (read: iPod) for hours. By the end, we were merrily quarreling over who was the awesomest ("No, you are!", "No, you are!") and proclaiming the individual genius of Jeff Lynne and Dolly Parton.

The ladies in my life make it good. Viva!



*The recipe I always use, with a few slight variations, is from "Hot Cookin': The Fire Island Cookbook". It's tasty; gay boys know their cocktails. Enjoy.

.075 ml red wine
.5 c brandy or triple sec (opt'l)
1 c water
.5 c sugar
.5 l seltzer
1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 apple

Chop fruit into bite size pieces, set aside the ends. Pour wine and brandy or triple sec into a pitcher or bowl and add chopped fruit. Refrigerate. In a sauce pan, bring water to a boil. Add sugar and the ends from the chopped fruit. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes to create a syrup. When syrup is cool, squeeze juice from the end pieces and discard. Using a strainer, add syrup to wine mixture. Stir well and chill. Just before serving, add seltzer.
