And another week at Mammakaze winds down. I don’t know about you, but after reading all that Jon and Kate stuff that has come out in the last few days – I’m feeling pretty grateful to be my old, anonymous mommy self. I couldn’t take it if my marriage was under such scrutiny. Although if it was, the dirtiest laundry they could drag up about us would be just that…our dirty laundry… which I have neglected because I’ve spent all my time on the computer writing up these posts!

Uh, Randy. A heads up. Smell those socks before you put them on!

As is our Friday tradition here at Mammakaze, yet another alcoholic recipe to wash away the guilt…and any progress you’ve made on The Zone Diet.  

Okay. This is a kind of fancy one. And it requires a little more effort. But really, aren’t you worth it? Say yes.

The perfekt solution for the imperfekt mom’s imperfekt day.  

Pooped Out Parent’s Peartini    

2 Parts Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka

1/4 Part Disaronno Originale Liqueur

1/4 Part Simple Syrup

1/2 Part Lemon Juice

Pear Slice

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker (or that old sun tea jar’ll do) filled with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Or sippy cup, whatever is handy. Present with a pear slice.

(NOTE: if you didn’t get around to buying fresh pears – and let’s face it, you probably didn’t – a clear Gummy vitamin or sour apple flavored Jolly Rancher will do.)

And remember…don’t feel guilt and drive
