WoOp…There it is!

Today has been an exciting one!!  After years of searching, I finally came across a song that holds a special place in my heart.  It was in my ECMP 355 class via a Youtube video that we viewed in class that the song rang in my ears.  In Feb. 2010, I was volunteering in Nairobi, Kenya, and the students at the orphanage I was at would "jam out" to this song on a daily basis; primarily because it was the song that skipped the least on the one Cd the children were in possession of.  The song is entitled "Ohh Ahh" by Grits Feat. tobyMac.  Just hearing the song finally inspired me to choose a topic for my final project.  I am going to become and "expert" mixologist.  I have come to this conclusion because I have very limited knowledge on alcoholic beverages and can not mix a drink for the life of me as well as the fact that I think it would be a valuable knowledge base to have when trying to obtain part-time employment (especially needed as my chosen profession is teaching).  I would like to learn not only the chemistry behind mixology but also all the fancy tricks that one can master in regards to tossing bottles in a magnificent fashion.  Of course I will be tast-testing, and will be inviting others to do the same and perhaps take part in a poll or provide feedback about how a beverage tasted.  I feel there are numerous directions that my journey to become  an "expert" mixologist will take me and am really excited to get started.

If you have any drink recipes or suggestions on how I can monitor my progress please comment.
