Cocktail of the day:
Red Devil (makes 3 servings)
6 oz. tequila (this week features Olmeca Altos Plata 100% agave)
3 oz. triple sec
2 1/2 fresh squeezed limes
1 1/2 TBS homemade mixed berry simple syrup
1 seeded and finely minced jalapeno
Shake thoroughly over ice and pour into 3 martini glasses.
A few breast cancer statistics (this episode was edited to correct/include the proper statistics so as not to confuse anyone listening, as it is such an important topic):
1) Early detection is not a guarantee but can be easier to treat.
2) Young women can get breast cancer too - be your own advocate, if you feel that something is wrong insist on further testing.
3) LESS THAN 15% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of someone who has, or had, breast cancer.
4) About 12% of U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
5) Men can get breast cancer too, the odds are around 1/1000.
6) There is no "cure", you can be N.E.D. (no evidence of disease) but there is always the chance of recurrence.
