June 4: National Hug Your Cat Day and National Cognac Day

I saw other people posting pictures of themselves hugging their cats today and I got excited! Not that you shouldn't hug your cat everyday - because you should! But then one person posted a picture of them hugging their dog. I guess they didn't get the memo. But that's ok.

Sophie wasn't overly thrilled at being hugged. Or rather, she wasn't thrilled at all. She's not always the most enthusiastic. Meanwhile, I am always enthusiastic.

You should have seen me in Zumba today. I am not a coordinated dancer, this was my first time going to Zumba in a year, so I basically made up my own steps. But what I lack in skill, I always make up for in enthusiasm.

This may be one of my favorite photos ever.

I imagine Sophie is thinking: "What did I ever do to deserve this?"

It's also National Cognac Day. Maybe I should have given Sophie some Cognac before I hugged her?

I looked up drink recipes that included Cognac and any other alcohol I happened to have on hand.

"Who's Your Daddy" required Cognac and Kahlua. Both things I happened to have on hand.

2 parts Cognac and 1 part Kahlua, over ice.

It was a simple recipe.

However, upon taste, I had to add more Kahlua. I was impressed with the name (because it made me laugh) but I wasn't impressed with the drink. Neither was my mom.

I think it's the first time I have ever, not finished a drink.

So I wouldn't recommend a Who's Your Daddy, unless you just want to laugh saying it.

There were a lot of drink recipes that involved mixing Cognac and other alcohols in coffee. I am an avid coffee drinker and routinely enjoy Kahlua in my coffee, so I do believe I would like Cognac in my coffee. However, I was drinking this late at night and didn't want the caffeine that came along with the coffee.
