Olenna Tyrell Hot Toddy

Good ol' Olenna Tyrell and her crafty, clever ways. She definitely reminds us of a southern woman
with her fierce love of family accompanied by a ruthless streak. This is one woman who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty to get done what needs to be done.

And since we hated that little twirp Joffrey, we're glad this tough cookie is in King's Landing!

So for tonight's episode, we'll be raising a glass (well, we older gals anyhow) to Olenna Tyrell and sipping on hot toddies.

Here's to Olenna Tyrell! The matriarch we love the most in Westeros.


Olenna Tyrell's Hot Toddy Recipe: 

- 1.5 oz rum
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 c hot water
- 1 bag of black tea
- a dash of lemon

King in the North "Game of Thrones" Mug

Recently, while browsing the pages of Etsy for weird, fun, and awesome handmade "Game of Thrones" things, I stumbled across a mug I really liked. A funny fact about we sisters of House Cook is that we seem to practically collect mugs. Maybe it's all of the tea and coffee we drink, or maybe it's because hot chocolate is the bestest, or possibly it's because the Disney store has so many cute ones available--who knows.

As soon as I saw this mug, I was smitten. The cup isn't anything out of the ordinary, just a normal coffee mug with a standard shape, but it's adorned with a pair of excellent illustrations featuring Arya Stark and Robb Stark, the King in the North.

The illustrations are so fun! I love the blood splatters and the addition of the dire wolves. Perfect for any children of House Stark.

The Etsy seller, Christine of sketch123, has several other fun "Game of Thrones" inspired illustrations and products. I enjoy her take on the characters and the clever way they're presented.

We've been finding a lot of fun "Game of Thrones" themed things lately. Maybe it's because we're looking for them... but I like to think that they are finding us (haha, no I don't! That's nonsense. The Google has been a big help). Since there are so many cool things out there we'll be showing you more as time goes by!
