Paloma : Forget the Margarita.

The Paloma, or dove, can make claim to being the national cocktail of Mexico. In addition to the refreshing taste, Palomas probably earned their claim to popularity for being incredibly easy to make. In Mexico, they’re made simply by pouring a shot of tequila and Fresca, a sugar-sweetened grapefruit soda, over ice. In the States, where Fresca is inherently diet, you can make a similar drink with Squirt, or achieve a natural tasting

Paloma with the following recipe:

Lime and salt the rim of a tall glass.

Fill with ice.

Add 1.5 oz. of silver tequila to your shaker.

Add 2 oz grapefruit juice and 1.5 oz. lime juice.

Sweeten with agave nectar as desired.

Shake with a full scoop of ice.

Drain into the glass.

Top off with Sprite.

Chicken Curry

Start Wherever you go, it’s pretty unusual to find someone who doesn’t like chicken. Do you know how chicken can taste a million times better? Try it with an authentic curry sauce and see the difference. An Indian chicken curry recipe is all you need to find to take your senses into 7th heaven. Chicken will taste infinitely better coupled with the unique taste, texture and aroma that only a special curry mix can bring. Your tongue will certainly thank you for it.

Curry is a delectable dish.

Composed of a fusion of herbs and spices prepared in a very

special way, it can be found in almost all Indian dishes.

Curry is synonymous to sugar in a cake. It’s a tasty and healthy meal that can be eaten at any time of the day. The curry variations are endless, but nothing beats an Indian chicken curry recipe. If you have the gift of cooking, you can make some improvisations to suit your taste. Serve it with some bread or rice, and you’ve got yourself a superb meal!

While in Montreal on our visit to the set of Paul W.S. Anderson’s Death Race, we got to see a lot of explosive action, racing madness, futuristic cars, hellfire weaponry, and a lot of cool and hair raising set pieces that Jason Statham endured while filming the redux of the Roger Corman/Paul Bartel-inspired classic.

Although the entire set was a sight to behold, so too was the smokin’ hot Natalie Martinez.

Ms. Martinez is almost wtoo hot for words and poised to become the next big thing. In Death Race, Natalie plays Case the navigator for Statham’s Frankenstein character who helps him out of prison and onto the track and she was more than happy to fill us in on how the production was shaping up.

role?

What could she do? You know?

On things like that, we had to have the same point of view. I had to show that I could carry her. I had to learn my lines, and I had to do a scene out of the movie with Jason as well. It was a scene that involved a lot of nerves and tension. Because I could die at any minute. It was kind of hard at times, because I didn’t have the environment around me. It worked out good.

sent me out on the audition. Basically, I just went

Scott Bernstein. Over the course of a month, it took four or five auditions.

That’s the craziest thing about auditioning. They know what they want. And we don’t have any idea what we are doing.

But it worked out.
