Sorbet...With Champagne

Scoops in Los Angeles does not mess around. They don't use artificial flavoring. They don't even use natural flavoring. They use the real deal Holyfield of all flavoring...the actual ingredient! If you want bacon ice cream, there is real bacon in there. If you want goat cheese and basil ice cream, guess what? Real goat cheese and basil.
I know, I know, your mind has been blown.
So, the other day, I popped my head in to Scoops, and low and behold, right before my very eyes, there it was... Now if you have been paying attention at all, you know where I am going with this....
a Champagne and Pear Sorbet, with real champagne!
So of course, my first question is,
"How much champagne is in a scoop?"
Needless to say, I found out that Scoops sells large ice cream cakes that day. It may not have been my birthday, but it sure felt like it was.

Monkey...With Champagne

I think we can all agree that this is a little creepy. Not the champagne part, of course. Not even the fact that the monkey is dressed real nice and offering up some Champagne. That's the part I really like. I'm even okay with his eery face and broken teeth. Haven't we all had nights like those? What I find slightly alarming, is the rope. There is a rope tied around his ankle, tying him to a post.
Call me crazy, but when given the choice between a beat up plastic monkey and a full bottle of champagne, I don't think that monkey is going anywhere, anytime soon...

Animal Crackers...With Champagne

There is more to this photo than meets the eye. This isn't your ole' run of the mill cracker and wine pairing. Oh no. This is, "I'm really fucking stressed at work. It's 5pm on a Friday. You know what? I'm going to take an few minutes for myself, pop open a bottle of bubbly, grab a snack and enjoy some 'me' time!"
And I think we all can agree that when it's time to snack, animal crackers look innocent enough, but once you dig in, the buttery delisciousness takes over and you can't stop. You can't have just one. So in honor of the animal crackers, not only did I eat the whole bag, I drank the whole bottle.

CD Club...With Champagne

I know, who listens to CD's anymore, Right?
It's really sad to see the music industry struggling the way it has been. Being an avid music lover, (yes I actually do like something other than champagne) I myself have mourned the death of the CD, for at least 4 seconds. But there is one thing that will never die and that's sharing music with friends. And so this is how CD club came into play. (Pun not intended but I'm totally keeping it in there cause it's awesome.)
CD club a lot like book club except with no books...
and lots of champagne.
It's a lot like movie club except with no movies...and lots of champagne.
Still not getting it?
It's like gardening club...okay it's nothing like garden club.
Is it just me or is it starting to sound like I use CD club as an excuse to get my friends crunkified on Champagne?
Okay, Good. We're both on the same page then.

Kitten...With Champagne

I've seen this story many times before: Kitty dips paw in glass of champagne. Next thing ya know, Kitty is on to the irresistible gate way drug, "Cat Nip" Before you know it, Kitty is sleeping all day, hanging in the alley, coming home dirty, hungry and with a craving that you just can't satiate any more, not even with 'Fancy Feast's new Shrimp and Cod Seafood Florentine Casserole'

(Damn! I always spend that extra 45 cents on a good sounding human meal!)

Back on Topic: Now I don't condone Kitty Alcoholism. But then again, I don't support Kitty AA either. So where does that leave me on the hot button topic of Kitten Alcohol Abuse? 

Listen, Kitty ain't gonna seek help until Kitty's ready and until Kitty wants to get clean...

a little champagne never hurt anykitty.
