This past weekend I went to the Revel in Atlantic City while some college friends were visiting. We had the most delicious delicious dinner at the Mussel Bar and I also came away with $75 more dollars to my name thanks to the slot machines. It was another fabulous night had by mostly everyone involved. I believe my friend Karla might have discovered that AC is just not her thing.

Here’s a recipe for a Moscow mule which I had at dinner. It’s a great refreshing drink and is a good way to kick off the month of August!

Moscow Mule
1 ounce vodka
1 tsp. sugar syrup
Fresh lime juice
1/2 cup ginger beer
1 sprig fresh mint
1 slice of lime

Happy 4th of July everyone! Hope you all are having a wonderful day. I had a long day at the bakery and am glad to be home relaxing. If I had any energy left to throw a barbecue, here is what I’d choose to make…a burger topped with avocado, tomato, bacon and gouda. Yum-O!

Let’s be honest, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and my mom had a lot of design influence in this house. Needless to say, I enjoy a lot of the details as well. Let’s take a look:
