Drink whenever…
- Someone calls Jon Snow a bastard. Two drinks if he calls himself a bastard.
- Daenerys talks about one of her beloved dragons.
- Daenerys reminds someone she is the Mother of Dragons, a khaleesi, a Targaryen, or something else powerful and grand. One drink per title.
- Something sexually depraved happens. This varies by interpretation, of course, but we’re thinking scenes with incest, brothels, sex slaves, etc.
- You hear “A Lannister always pays his debts.”
- Someone remarks on the coming of winter.
- A character says something ominous about the coming night or impending darkness.
- A vicious fight breaks out. Two drinks per severed head.
- Arya vows to kills someone. Three drinks if she actually does it.
- Someone mistakes Arya for a boy.
- Tyrion says something impossibly witty or acerbic. Two drinks if his remark results in a slap, push, or other form of physical assault.
- Cersei plots something horrible.
- A wildling or White Walker raises hell.
- Someone insults Samwell Tarly. Two drinks if he does something to warrant the insult.
- Something is set afire or a character fights with fire.
- You want to throttle one of the characters for being so nasty or annoying.

Recipe: Black Bean Chicken Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette
I found this recipe and have yet to try it -- but it looks amazing. As with all the recipes I make, I often try to modify them to cut down on fat, salt, etc. This recipe originally had 3/4 cup of olive oil in the dressing -- which added an additional 477 calories to the recipe. I cut the oil down to half a cup, and I encourage you to cut it down further if you want to experiment further.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp ground cumin
To Make:
- Combined cubed chicken, black beans, scallions, and celery
- Mix together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cumin, and pour over chicken and bean mixture.
- Stir together and chill for at least an hour before serving
Serves: 8
Each Serving: 281 calories, 10 g carbs, 16 g fat, 24 g protein

Worse Cooks than You
It has been pointed out to me that perhaps I underestimate myself as a bloggeress, that I might reach people who may be new or just bad in the kitchen, and that should dedicate a post to my readers who CAN'T cook.
To those culinary-challenged readers, thanks for stopping by, I had no idea I was so damn charismatic!
In all seriousness, though, I hope that this blog inspires you to try new foods, try your hand at recipes, take a cooking class, or just have fun creating a kitchen disaster.
Don't feel bad, though..... courtesy of Rachel Sanders of Buzzfeed.com, I present (and reblog) to you:
