Bethenny really does seem to have it all. And that’s great. How funny was it when Bethenny and Jason hit the road on their way to vacation when they realized that in spite of all the baby stuff they were lugging, they didn’t have the porta crib. Ha! All us moms have been there.

Jason sure took a lot of ribbing about trying to use ‘just the tip’. It was just a tad odd that the new baby nurse would enter into that discussion! Anyway that went on for about 10 minutes – Bethenny is such a hoot. Bethenny must have said ‘just the tip’ about 50 times. Jason DOES seem to be chompiing at the bit.

Hey – I just thought of something weird! Did you notice that Bethenny’s maid of honor was not around for any of the baby celebrations? She maybe was in a quick camera pan of a party, but she hasn’t been around since she showed up sloshed at Bethenny’s wedding. We’ll have to stay tuned for more on that. Someone Google that and let me know.

Hey, I have to say I’ve really enjoyed this show. It’s been nice watching a reality show where nice people go through normal life events with high spirits and actually care about each other.

I hope BRAVO brings the show back for another season! Hmmm, Bethenny DID have to go on a business trip to do a TV show – wonder which one that was…. RHONY?? Getting ready for next season?…. will Bethenny return to the Real Housewives of New York?

What do you think? Should Bethenny continue her own show or do the RHONY?

OK, have a Blue Seafoam cocktail (pg. 128 Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail Time) while you contemplate that.

This Blue Curacao cocktail is an interesting meld of flavors. The Blue Seafoam cocktail (pg. 128 Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail Time) mixes blueberry flavors with blue curacao liquor. The blue curacao, which is distilled and flavored from the dried peel of bitter oranges, keeps this cocktail from being overly sweet.
And it makes a really pretty drink. I may have added a BIG splash of blue curacao – the deepness of the blue color of your cocktail will depend on your definition of a ‘splash’.

Blue Seafoam

Makes 1 drink

• 3/4 oz. blueberry flavored vodka, Smirnoff
• 3/4 oz. vanilla flavored vodka, Smirnoff
• 1 splash blue curacao
• fresh blueberries ( I used frozen)

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add blueberry vodka, vanilla vodka, and curacao: shake well. Pour into a chilled glass. Garnish with blueberries. (I also added a sugar rimmer).

This was a perfect cocktail at home prior to going out to local theater. Which I must say, if you ever get a chance to see a production of Moon over Buffalo – definitely go. This play is beyond hilarious. And local theater is amazing. It’s usually in a small theater, so you always get a good seat for a good price. And the talent is very good. And very enthusiastic. And, you can get a student discount (this theater gave me 1/2 off!) – so yes, it did pay to take a semester of Japanese that I never had time to pursue afterwords.

OK, rating time. Do I give the Blue Seafoam cocktail a Semi-HomeTested rating of LUSH IT, LUSH IT A LOT, or LEAVE IT?
This is a refreshing, pretty, summer cocktail and gets a Semi-HomeTested rating of LUSH IT.

Kampai!
