Soda Club Flavor of the Week ...

This week’s flavor Orange & Mango. Okay so I’m not strict about when the ‘week’ actually begins or ends. I figured it was time for a flavor change.

Allison really likes Orange & Mango. I’m not the biggest fan of the two fruit mixes. I like Orange and I like Grape but not really either of them mixed with another flavor. That is my personal preference.

Orange & Mango is featured in many recipes for The Soda Club. Like these:

Cranberry Orange Holiday Fizz
Submitted by Denise G. of Chicago
  • 1 liter Soda-Club Cranberry-Raspberry soda
  • 1 liter Soda-Club Orange-Mango soda
  • 2 cups cranberry juice
  • 2 cups gin or orange vodka (optional)
  • 2 cups frozen whole cranberries
  • 2 oranges, sliced
  • Add all ingredients to a large punch bowl
  • To keep punch cold throughout the evening, replenish frozen cranberries (they act as miniature ice cubes) or make an ice ring by freezing water, cranberries and oranges in a gelatin mold and let it float in the punch.
Red Sangria
  • 1 liter of Soda-Club Orange-Mango soda
  • 1 bottle of rioja or other red Spanish table wine
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of Spanish brandy
  • Lemon, lime, orange, strawberries
  • Cut fruit into bite-sized pieces and mix with brandy and sugar in a medium bowl. Allow to macerate for several hours or overnight.
  • Just before serving, combine fruit mixture, wine and Orange-Mango soda in a large glass pitcher.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon and pour into wine glasses to serve, being sure to include bits of fruit in each glass. 
  • Makes 8-10 servings.
Parrothead
  • 6 oz. Soda-Club Orange-Mango
  • 2 oz. Coconut rum
  • Pour rum over ice and add Orange-Mango soda
  • Stir gently to mix
  • Garnish with a wedge of pineapple or a slice of mango
  • For variety, try using mango or pineapple flavored rum
Hawaiian Chicken (serves 6)
Submitted by Don S. of CA.
  • 6-8 chicken breasts (or 6-10 of your favorite pieces)
  • 2-4 cups of Soda-Club Orange-Mango soda
  • Place chicken in non-reactive bowl and pour soda over to cover
  • Allow to marinate overnight
  • Grill over medium-high heat until cooked through (internal temperature should register 165F.)
  • Hint from the chef: Marinated meat cooks faster than non-marinated meat so you should adjust your cooking time accordingly.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
