It was Palm Sunday yesterday. According to Christian belief, Palm Sunday is celebrated to commemorate Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It marks the beginning of Holy Week and always falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday.
Over here, Palm Sunday is celebrated the old fashion way. Many churches hold special Palm Sunday services that involve distributing palms to the congregation. Branches of olive, box elder, spruce or other trees are used in places where palms are not available. They are later hung up in houses for good luck, buried to preserve crops, or used to decorate graves. The custom of decorating graves with blessed palms still exists in some parts of Germany. As for kids, they turn up with branches of trees decorated with cookies at churches where the special service is held.
As for us, we had a longgggggggggggg, lazyyyyy Palm Sunday afternoon. We started off having breakfast in bed (again!) till around noon and slouched ourselves infront of TV soon after. At around 4pm, I could not take the slouching around anymore and head to kitchen to make our Roti Canai dinner. It was super labour intensive, not to mention not worth it at all as my Roti turned out only passable. After the greasy dinner, I felt that I could down something delicious and wicked, hence requested hubby to make me a killer cocktail.
My hubby ... what can I say. He´s an all rounder, and never fail to surprise me. This is his new creation based on whatevers we left in our kitchen (I mean juices), and it really is WICKED!
Here´s the recipe
- 5 ml Cointreu

Method
Shake It!
