Date Night No-Brainer: Defending the Caveman

Posted by    |    April 27th, 2012 at 2:52 pm

If you’re a dude and it’s your turn to plan date night, then may I suggest Defending the Caveman at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas. Starring local celeb actor John Venable (who you may recognize from Dallywood fame,) you’ll laugh yourself silly.  And hey, when is the last time you made the effort to see live theater?  At only $32 for floor seating and $27 for balcony seating, I’d say it’s a cheaper date than what you’d spend on drinks in Uptown.

Get brownie points with the ladies by taking them on a proper date that isn’t just another bland dinner and movie. Check out Defending the Caveman while you still can (and reap the benefits after the show).

Friday Edition Cocktails: St. Patrick’s Day

Posted by    |    March 16th, 2012 at 4:14 pm

St. Patrick’s Day will be here in T minus seven hours, and so will your loss of ability to operate machinery and/or man your vehicle. Dallas celebrates this holiday the way NOLA natives celebrate Mardis Gras – legendary style. Here’s a very green drink recipe to ensure pinchers vacate your premises on this glorious holiday.

Ingredients

½ part Midori

¾ part golden rum

½ part fresh orange juice

Garnish with a lemon or lime
wedge

Directions

Pour into a tall glass over ice. (Easy enough.)

I don’t cook a lot, so I’m not quite sure what a “part” is…just pour enough of everything to make the drink a festive shade of green, and make your buzz last well into the evening. Happy St. Patty’s, y’all.

Front Porch Lemonade Cocktail

Posted by    |    February 24th, 2012 at 12:11 pm

In five hours, I want to be drinking one of these. Well, if I’m being honest, I want a personal bartender to follow me around the city, crafting cocktails just for me each time I feel a pang of dehydration. Which, as the weekend approaches, happens quite frequently.

It has been porch weather all this week in Dallas; as such, I’m craving a bourbon-based drink with splashes of citrus and ginger. Enter the Front Porch Cocktail, born from the insights of a calm summer’s day. Not that it’s summer, but it feels like it is, so, roll with it.
