Let's All Raise A Glass...

Hey everyone!  Can you believe I've been blogging for an entire year?  It's true - my first blogging anniversary is just day's away.  If you're one of the few faithful who have been with me from the start, then I owe you a humongous heap of thanks because I don't think I would have survived those lonely first days without you.  And if you're a new friend I've picked up along the way,  I want to thank you for enriching my life with your writing, your warmth and your humour.

Now...enough with the sappy sentimentality.  Let's get this party started!  In typical Scattered Joy style, I'd like us to all raise a glass and toast the anniversary with a wickedly sinful drink that I first shared with you on my very first blog post: hot buttered rum.


Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail Recipe : Emeril Lagasse : Food Network: 


1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Pinch ground cloves

Pinch salt

Bottle dark rum

Boiling water

Whipped cream

Directions:

In a bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Refrigerate until almost firm. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into 12 small mugs. Pour about 3 ounces of rum into each mug (filling about halfway). Fill with boiling water (to fill the remaining half), stir well, top with whipped cream and serve immediately."
