Brown Sugar Muffins that wouldn’t stand a chance around me! I’m thinking they’d be even better with some pumpkin butter…

On the Rocks: Autumn Cocktail.
An autumn cocktail worthy enough to be called the Autumn Cocktail.
Ingredients:
– 2 oz Imported GranGala Triple Orange Liqueur
– 1 oz Flor de Cana Rum
– 1 oz Cranberry Syrup*
– 2 Pieces of Fresh Ruby Red Grapefruit (peel, no skin or white)
– Dash of Orange Bitters
– Drunken cranberries**
In a Boston glass add grapefruit and cranberry syrup. Muddle, add 1 ice scoop then GranGala, rum and bitters. Shake well and pour into a young wine glass. Garnish with drunken cranberries.
* To make the Cranberry Syrup you need 2 cups sugar, 1 cup water and 2 cups of cranberries (rinsed and de-stemmed). Add ingredients to a saucepan, adjust heat to medium-high. Allow to boil and then reduce to a simmer. The mixture is ready once the sugar has dissolved, the syrup is slightly thickened and has taken on the color and aroma of the berries, this should take about 5 minutes.
** To make the Drunken Cranberries you need 2 cups sugar, 1 cup dark rum, 1 cup fresh cranberries (rinsed and de-stemmed). Follow Cranberry Syrup directions, and pull out the cranberries and use for the garnish.

The Daily Eat: Brown Sugar Custards.
Oddly enough, the original recipe for these Brown Sugar Custards is from a cookbook by Pamela Anderson. I prefer this version – it adds Cointreau whipped cream!

Legs and Feets.
I’m swooning over this piece by Kurt Halsey Frederiksen. He can make feet look attractive – a major plus for this foot-a-phobe!

Rotating Outlet.
Just as I was starting to write this post I realized I’ve developed a sort of fascination with electrical outlets. No, not in a “Wonder what will happen if I just stick this fork…” sort of way. More of a sick obsession with their functionality. My latest? This rotating outlet. Perfect for when you need to plug your hairdryer and cell charger (or anything else with two of those big ‘ol boxy plugs) into the same place at the same time.
