DIY Romulan Ale

Romulan Ale

According to StarTrek.com, Romulan Ale is “an infamous blue alcoholic beverage with a powerful kick, the drink has been banned in the United Federation of Planets since before 2285, and is still not a commonly known commodity.” It “was illegal because of a Federation trade embargo in the late 23rd century (as mentioned in Star Trek II: The Wrath of The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) through the late 24th century (per Star Trek Nemesis). (SOURCE: Romulan Cuisine on Wikipedia)

If you aren’t lucky enough to find a contraband source (Quark, perhaps?), you can try making your own via this recipe for Romulan Ale.

If you aren’t interested in drinking something that might affect your gray matter, you might be more interested in these energy drinks from ThinkGeek.

Spoilers, Sweetie.

As someone who’s been coveting a River Song journal since it was first introduced, when I came across this post in an Livejournal Community called Crafty Tardis, I knew that I had to have it.

eveywiecherton on Livejournal gives amazing steps on how to create your own River Song cover. The steps are clear, with pictures to help guide the way, and I’m sure it can be adjusted to fit any e-reader you may have.

Granted, getting an e-reader should probably come first, but still. Once I finally buy one, making this cover will be the first order of business.

Sleep if Convenient…

. . . and with this pillowcase, you’ll want to sleep even if not convenient! What better to encourage pleasant dreams of everyone’s favorite consulting detective than this ‘Dreaming of Sherlock’ pillowcase.  The single pillowcase is a cotton blend and a  standard size and beige.  The crafter, one of our two favorite Death Eaters, is Dixiebell who is co-owner of Death Eater Delights on Etsy.

Prefer to dream of consulting criminals rather than consulting detectives?  Or perhaps you prefer a different incarnation of Sherlock?  Just drop Dixiebell a line at Etsy and share your suggestion.  She loves to try new ideas.

Now if you excuse me, I need to drop a Death Eater a line about dreaming of Mycroft!
