Passion!

How long has it been since you did something you loved?
Here’s a funky list of things that I LOVE to do:

• Counting the shades of green in my backyard
• Trying to find blue stars in the night’s sky
• Laughing at a joke that isn’t funny
• Drinking a non-alcoholic Pina Colada (decorated with a paper umbrella, of course)—in the winter!

Here’s a recipe: Pina Colada

i n g r e d i e n t s

6 fluid ounces pineapple juice or fresh pineapple chunks

2 fluid ounces Coconut cream

3 to 4 cups of Ice

Cherries

Slices of pineapple, orange or lime

Paper umbrellas for decoration

In a blender, crush ice while gradually adding the pineapple and the coconut cream.

The ice should be thick enough to hold a cherry on top without sinking into the drink. Serve in a tall glass with a straw. Garnish with one cherry and a slice of pineapple. Insert a paper umbrella for that tropical, exotic touch.

• Drinking Penzy’s Hot Cocoa ANY TIME OF YEAR, if you haven’t heard of Penzy’s, you just haven’t lived, http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/shophome.html Think about your passion.

Don’t wait for the weekend to indulge in it! Or, can you find passion in what you are doing right now?
