Martha Says Save Money By "Repurposing"

Domestic Bitch/Diva Martha Stewart in addition to trying to rule the world is trying to save us money. If any one can do it Martha can and she’s come up with an online feature called Home Smarts: 226 Ways to Save Time, Money and Space. OK a rather random number but some very good, practical ideas. Some of the best one are how to redecorate on a budget using repurposed (my new favorite word) items to create furniture. There’s also some good tips on how to use cloth and old clothes for wrapping paper, pillow covers and totes. I guess I’m newly inspired after spring cleaning my closets and discovering a boatload of stuff that’s can be reimagined and recycled. Check out the site since if there’s anyone who can organize us it's inmate number 6789

Rue La La

Welcome Summer With Watermelon Margaritas
The perfect remedy to a hot summer day. Scoop dice and seed a few cups of watermelon and freeze it. Toss the frozen pieces in the blender with about ¾ cup silver tequila and one shot each of triple sec and Cointreau. Add four ice cubs and squeeze in the juice of half a lime. Blend. Serve with mint garnish. Lick bottom of glass and repeat.
Lillet Lux
Just discovered an even better way to sip my Lillet, as a mixer. It's cheaper than most spirits and provides a tastier base. Try it as a Martini. Crack some ice in a bullet and add one shot each of White Lillet and Vodka. Then toss in a splash of Vermouth. Dry is fine but sweet actually goes well with the Lillet. Then for a little zest, add a squeeze of lemon. Shake, pour and enjoy.
My New Favorite Drink
Lillet!!! Not really a new drink for me but as the weather warms up I been feelin a chilled glass of the White Lillet with a lemon twist. At around $15 a bottle it's half as much as Champagne so trade in those tiny bubbles for thiis refreshing apéritif.
