The Siskel and Ebert of Cocktail Divas

You are really getting the polar opposites of women writing this blog.  Diva Lynda is all things elegant and classy.  She is a food writer, recipe developer, cooking instructor, designer and a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Ecole de Cuisine in Paris. Her food and drinks are luscious and beautiful. Her kitchen is a shrine to all things delicious. She is skilled at making any party special with wonderful, personal touches.

Diva Deb can't cook to save her life and is looking for the easiest entertaining tips possible. She buys her cocktail appetizers at Trader Joe's and heats them up in the oven.  Sometimes she throws away the box and arranges the appetizers nicely on a serving tray--sometimes the box is in plain sight and the appetizers are served from the baking pan.  Even if she tries, she isn't fooling anybody.  

Her favorite cocktails are easy to make and easy to drink.  The less ingredients the better.  If you can't buy it at Safeway, Bevmo or Costco, forget it.  She is not driving to some undisclosed locale to find a magic ingredient.
