Gone with the wind and gone out of the window the Friday or Saturday
nights of clubbing and partying. Indeed, yes, sure, admittedly age has caught up, I have slowed down mentally, physically and I definitely can't take the loud clubbing-partying atmosphere. However, those 5 years behind me were a different story all together. Dolling up, rounding up the girlfriends, partying and boozing with unlimited glasses of brandy, whisky and what not I have never regretted. Still, looking back now, I realise that it was a waste of money, friendship if not all some are fake and I don't have the guts to drive after drinking.
Even so, I have not given on drinking. It is still yours faithfully with a glass or two of sangria (Grapefruit Sangria). Last weekend I made this Sangria with Stevia orange essence I received some time back. The essence of course you can replace with other suitable types or make do with what is available at home or you may prefer a non-alcoholic drink (Mango 7-up Mocktail). So here we go with apples, oranges, orange essence, 7-up and wine. Cheers everyone!!

ReplyDeleteLife has become very busy nowadays.. My hubby returns late from office.. And leaves home early morning.. So we too hardly get time to talk.. It's always weekends when we try to make the most of the time we get together.. Yes, I do miss the time I used to spend with my friends before marriage... Wish I could relive the moment at least once again.. SIGH! The drink looks stunning Nava :-)
