Day 9- what now?

So after a wonderful day at the pool with the kiddo and some fun moms, I find myself at home with no kid waiting for the man in my life to come home from work.  What's a girl to do?  Why enjoy a refreshing glass of the easiest sangria ever and get started on some Bahia-style fish tacos for a delicious dinner.  The drink is quickly becoming a summer staple (and yes I am aware that we've only been on vacation for 9 days).  The original recipe came from a pin on my pinterest board, party ideas all sorts.  Here's the link to the recipe: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/red-wine-sangria-10000000633416/index.htlm
Now because I'm me and can't really follow  a recipe without making a couple of changes, here is my version. Just as easy and super delicious.

Summer of Craftiness Super Easy Sangria
What you need:
1 bottle of red wine- my fav- Menage a Trois- California Red Wine
1- 2.63 L Simply Lemonade with Raspberry
1/2 bottle Sparkling Pomegranate French Soda
cut fruit- whatever's in season and yummy

Pour half the raspberry lemonade into a separate container.  Add the red wine to the lemonade bottle- this makes it easy to take with you to a friend's house to share.  Add enough french soda to fill the bottle.  Add fruit.  That's it.  
You can make this overnight.  That gives the fruit a chance to macerate.  Add in the soda right before serving.

Dinner's done and the dishes are clean.  I think it's time to get crafty.

'til tomorrow,
Tangy
