Friday Night Fun

Friday night is a day to look forward to for most college students. Check out what Friday is like at the college town of Washington State University!

Try changing to either 480p or 720p for better quality (after hitting play it will pop up saying it is only in 360p). I haven't decided which quality is better (480p or 720p), but at 360p it is really blurry. By minimizing the video to fit the blog it's a little fuzzy but you get the idea.

Exotic Cocktail Party

In relation to Wazzupolitan's previous post yesterday on making a Fresh Vegetable Dinner Party, here's some ideas to make cocktails using fresh local ingredients. These will make a wonderful addition to your dinner party, or even a great addition to sitting by the pool this summer.

Whatever the occasion, here is a video on hosting an Exotic Cocktail Party.

Drink of the Week: Washington Apple

Today, March 20th 2010, marks the first day of spring! So to top of the season, let's all enjoy a Washington Apple. This is almost like Washington State University's signature drink. Perfect for the bars (they all know how to make it, I have checked) and it can be either made as a classy cocktail or simple shot. You take the pick!

This week, instead of giving you the directions and expecting you to find out how to do it on your own, I will post a video of a goofy guy that explains in great detail how it is done. So enjoy the movie and enjoy your Washington Apple.

P.S. This is a great drink to enjoy before the Apple Cup against the Huskies at the end of the year. Be advised-- the guy in this video is kind of nerdy =] Don't let his looks ruin a great drink! Plus, he talks alot about nothing. Entertain yourself, and your taste buds with this great drink!

A Romantic Getaway an Hour and a Half Away

This year, Valentine's Day blessed us with a three-day-weekend, an extra day of fun and a better opportunity to hit the road out of Pullman to enjoy some entertainment.

For those looking for a somewhat close adventure, Spokane is less than an hour and a half away, and totally worth the drive. With plenty of restaurants, hotels, and entertainment, Spokane is the place to go on Valentine's Day for both lovers and friends.

If a dinner date is of interest, book early a table for two at the Steamplant Grill, a historic restaurant built into an actual steamplant that ran in Spokane for almost 70 years. They offer a full dinner menu, an extensive list of wine and plenty of beer to choose from. This downtown restaurant is popular so book your reservations early, or you may have no chance.

 

Riverfront Park is the perfect place for a relaxing day. If it's sunny, enjoy a picnic in the park, and a ride on the Spokane Falls SkyRide. Hours are Open Friday - Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $7.25.

If the wether is not so sunny, or even if you're just looking for an indoor adventure, go ice skating at the Riverfront Park Ice Palace. The Ice Palace is recognized as one of the best outdoor skating rinks in the nation. Hours are Friday, Saturday (and nights before holidays) 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sundays (Valentine's Day) Noon - 4:00 p.m. (Closed Sunday Night).  Tickets are $4.25 for adults and skate rentals are $3. The Ice Palace is open till Feb. 28 so don't miss out on this memorable opportunity.

Plenty of activities await you on this getaway so plan ahead and have fun! Enjoy the three-day-weekend and enjoy your special day!
