Exploring Cybersecurity, Photography, Technology, and Nature
This can represents the first time someone has ever paid me for a photography lesson. It's also the first time I've ever been paid with food. I spent 30 minutes of my lunch hour last week teaching the pizzeria owner's wife how to use her new Canon DSLR.

It was cold at my desk so I decided on a trip to the Dunkin Donuts. Turns out it's only cold inside. It's 55°F outside. I got a soda instead and returned to my office space after a quick walk around the strip mall parking lot.

I was sitting on the deck checking out the Facebook page for The Ministry of Rum when I noticed that the mint I planted two years ago had come in. The mint is a variety I ordered from Florida. The grower claimed it's the same one used in Cuba to make mojitos. I don't know if that's true but I like to believe that it is.
A quick search on Google and I had a recipe I could use. What I like about this recipe is that it's a single serving recipe. I have Type 1 diabetes so I tend to avoid high carbohydrate or high sugar drinks. I'll drink a beer occasionally but never a six-pack and most cocktails are off-limits. But I love rum and the mojito is my favourite cocktail and it's nice to be able to make one just for me.
The recipe I found used sugar but I substituted Splenda. I didn't have club soda. I used sparkling water I made in our soda stream. Here's the recipe from allrecipes.com that I modified for my use. Using Calorie King I estimated that this mojito is about 102 calories and contains less than 2g of carbohydrates.
A delicious mojito without all the sugar
