Ready for a weekend of fun? How do you celebrate your weekends? Do you go out with others? Do you enjoy your own company because your weekly routine has you interacting with people you would normally avoid in your "Outside Of Work" life? Do you want try testing your own skills at being a bartender? If that last one is how you roll, then here are some simple recipes that are fun to make as they are to consume...the finished product is fun to consume not the recipe itself. You can't eat digital content. Unless you're a computer virus in human form...and that's cheating.

Seeing as how last week was May 4th, it should be no surprise that there are Star Wars themed beverages. Here is one for all the fans out there.
