priceplunge - Home - Six dastardly delicious drink and dessert ...

We know it?s still May, but it?s never too early to start testing new recipes for summertime food and drinks (especially when you get lucky with one of those extra warm days). We?ve put together a list of our favorite recipes so far, and we?re drooling just thinking about them!

1.?LoopHole Martini (featuring the legendary Fruit Loops vodka): When we first heard of Fruit Loops drink, we didn?t know how to react, having not eaten Fruit Loops cereal since we were kids. But this drink has us convinced it could be wunderbar: (via Intoxicology)

Needs:

-?????? Parts Milk

-?????? 1 Part Loopy Vodka

-?????? 1 part Frangelico

-?????? Fruit Loops cereal

2. Moscow Mule (we recommend adding the mint leaves!): Traditionally a Moscow Mule is drank with a copper cup, as the drink became popular on the west coast in the 1940s and is still enjoyed to this day by those appreciating its fresh taste. (via Webtender)

Needs:

-????????? 1-2 shots vodka

-????????? ginger beer (to taste)

-????????? a dab of honey

-????????? mint leaves (optional)

3. The Musketeers Poptail (we apologize if this caused a sudden craving for any assortment of chocolates): Technically this recipe was for a Halloween party, but the cool refreshing flavor of a popsicle version of a Three Musketeers bar had us excited. (via Endless Simmer)

Needs:

-????????? 8 oz. of cream

-????????? 2 oz melted chocolate + 3 oz. chocolate for drizzling

-????????? 2 oz chocolate liqueur

-????????? ? oz Kahlua

-????????? popsicle molds (Dixie Cups work)

Using the Popsicle molds, drizzle the melted chocolate into the bottom of each space. Put them in the freezer for 10 minutes or until frozen. Place the cream, 3 oz chocolate liquer, and Kahlua into a shaker, mixing all of the ingredients together. After mixing the liquids, pour into the Dixie Cups and freeze for about an hour. Then, well, you know what to do.

4. Blood Orange Margarita (blood oranges are in season!): These Blood Orange ritas are no ordinary margarita. In fact, they are so fresh and delicious looking, we might have to permanently replace this rita with our daily juice intake (kidding).

Needs:

-????????? 3 oz. fresh blood oranges

-????????? 2 oz. Tequila

-????????? 1 oz. Triple Sec

-????????? splash of agave nectar syrup (optional)

On the rim of your glass, coat the edge with a blood orange slice. Then, add salt (if you like). Mix together all the ingredients with ice, and then strain into your glass and enjoy!

5. Ice Cream with Honey-Poached Apricots (delicious and nutritious!) When we saw these we immediately were relieved there was no excessive carbs or anything to worry about, just a healthy treat that?s easy to whip together. (via Real Simple)

Needs:

-????????? Apricots

-????????? honey (optional)

-????????? vanilla ice cream

-????????? coconut

Take a scoop (or two!) of vanilla ice cream and top with toasted coconut and apricots, then add honey of you?d like. We?re tempted to even try this for breakfast. Either way, the light taste should make for a yummy treat that?s not too high in calories.

Trusts and LLCs in estate planning, P.2 | Alpharetta Probate ...

In our last post, we began speaking on how trusts and LLCs can be used for real estate in planning one's estate. The topic is important, as failing to protect one's real estate from lawsuits and probate after one's death can create extra troubles and costs. These can be avoided by prudent use of a trust or LLC.

We have already spoken about LLCs and Qualified Personal Residence Trusts (QPRTs). Each of these estate planning tools have their benefits and special considerations. Limited Liability Companies can be particular beneficial for those with income producing property. QPRTs can allow for tax savings.

Another tool to use in estate planning, especially for those who don't want to opt for a QPRT, are simple revocable trusts. These are quite flexible, do not require the permission of beneficiaries to change, and offer benefits for those with property in multiple states who want to avoid probate in all of those states. Each revocable trust is tailored to each family's situation. Again, the duration and structure is very flexible.

Before using any of these strategies, one should ensure that doing so fits within one's overall estate plan. A qualified estate planning attorney should be consulted in setting up any trusts or entities. Attempting to do so on one's own is risky, as laws are constantly changing and one may not be able to see all the necessary consequences of one's own financial and family situation.

That said, many people could benefit from using one or all of these tools.

12-year-old inspires his family to lose weight | Health and Fitness

Tired of being bullied at school, Marshall Reid decided to do something about his ballooning weight, so he inspired his family to make a commitment to healthier living. Now 36 pounds lighter, Marshall and his mother, Alexandra, chat about their new book, ?Portion Size Me: A Kid-Driven Plan to a Healthier Family,? which outlines the Reid family?s journey to fitness.

Ten-year-old Marshall Reid was tired of being bulled about his weight. He was tired of not being able to keep up with the other kids at recess and of having to constantly pull his shirts down to keep his stomach covered.

?One of my classmates actually told me, ?You know, you don?t look very good. You?re fat,?? Reid told TODAY.

But with the Reid family eating out most nights, it was impossible for the frustrated tween to do much about his weight.

Then Marshall saw the documentary, ?Supersize Me,? and he got an idea: Maybe he could do the opposite of what he saw in the movie and eat healthy for 30 days. However, he knew that wouldn?t work without his family?s help.

Marshall went to his mom, Alexandra, and told her things had to change. ?I?m done,? he told her. ?I?m not doing this anymore. I?m not putting up with this. I?m going to change myself.?

The conversation hit Alexandra Reid hard.

?I knew it came from his heart,? Alexandra told TODAY?S Ann Curry. ?It was a sad moment for me because I knew he was hurting and any mother doesn?t want their child hurting.

?I felt like somebody had thrown a brick at me because the amount of parental responsibility that all of a sudden came washing down on me was alarming,? she told TODAY. ??

Alexandra?s turnaround was stunningly quick.

?It really didn?t take much convincing,? Marshall told TODAY?s Ann Curry. ?My mom jumped right aboard. She?s been a really big help. Everybody?s just been so happy to join along and help me. And once I brought it to their attention, I think they noticed, ?Wow, we do have this problem.??

It?s not only the Reid?s problem. An estimated one-third of children ages 2 to 19 are obese or overweight, according to U.S. government statistics. A recent report from the influential Institute of Medicine said fighting America?s weight problem, especially among kids, will require big changes at all levels of society.

?For Marshall and Alexandra, the change started with a project they named ?Portion Size Me.? They made a commitment to eat healthier and to exercise more for the next 31 days. They used YouTube to share their progress with Marshall?s dad, an Army lieutenant colonel stationed in Iraq, making videos of the family cooking and eating healthy.

The project paid off. In total, the family has dropped over 70 pounds, 36 of those came from Marshall himself.

?I had a kid come up to me in the hall, and the first thing he says to me is ?Wow, you look a lot better,?? Marshall told TODAY. ?And I?m like, ?Thanks, Dude,??

The Reids were so happy with their results they decided to share their project with the rest of the world in a book called, ?Portion Size Me: A Kid Driven Plan to a Healthier Family.?

Marshall?s dad wasn?t surprised that his son took the lead in getting his family healthier.

?You know, he?s always been a very good communicator,? Dan Reid told Ann Curry. ?He?s very thoughtful about everything that he does. He looked at where he wanted to be and what he was doing and decided what he wanted out of it.?

HP teases new Envy all-in-one printer, glass and metal dotted all over (video)

We all love teasers, so it's rather swell that HP decided to tease its next Envy-branded all-in-one printer at the Global Influencer Summit in Shanghai -- almost two years after introducing the Envy 100. As you can see in the above slide and the extremely brief video teaser after the break, this time round the design will feature a glass control panel, as well as a metal scan bar and a metal hinge under the scanner's see-through lid. Pretty hot, we'd say, and looking back at the Envy 14 Spectre which shares similar elements, this certainly sets a good example of how the new Printing and Personal Systems Group is already bringing a better design consistency across what used to be two different groups. For now, stay tuned for more info.
