Toast Tuesday: Gin

I’m going to tell you honestly, I really didn’t read this chapter in the book. I just looked in my liquor closet and followed my tastebuds. I have three gins and a genever in my collection. When New Deal began making gin, I was certain I didn’t like gin. What I soon realized was IContinue reading “Toast Tuesday: Gin”

lady lavender’s lovely libation

I raise a glass in honor of the bounty of summer my garden keeps bestowing on me and my 100th follower. I can’t recall which blogger I was reading lately who said we write these blogs for our readers and our followers.  I’ll agree somewhat.  I am delighted that 100 people out there follow meContinue reading “lady lavender’s lovely libation”

How does your garden grow?

Does what you grow in your garden get used on your plate, in your bath, or around your house?  How about all of the above?  or not at all? I’ve been playing with herbs and essential oils for years.  I’ve got book shelves lined with all sorts of information.  I’ve even got a mad scientistContinue reading “How does your garden grow?”

TGIF

I just have to say… what the FUCK happened yesterday??  Really…  I don’t get that cosmic crap, retrograde whatnot (sorry CM).  but thursday was one of those days where I really question the universe.

Thirsty Thursday: Luc Lac

I have a new favorite happiest hour. There’s a new Vietnamese restaurant, Luc Lac, near my office. Everything I had heard was outstanding. Then by chance I met the bartender at an event. Just one more reason to check this place out. The space is open and the decor is great. Whenever I walk byContinue reading “Thirsty Thursday: Luc Lac”

Good Green Day

In honor of St Paddy’s Day, I will celebrate my favorite color as I saw it around town this week. Nothing makes me happier than daffy-dills.  Well, bacon is a very close second. Kate Spade is a genius.  How I love her so… My dream car is a 64 1/2 Mustang.  I won’t own oneContinue reading “Good Green Day”

Bond, Jane Bond

In the 1953 Casino Royale, our hero Mr Bond invents a new drink.  The Vesper. “A dry martini,” Bond said. “One. In a deep champagne goblet.” “Oui, monsieur.” “Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice ofContinue reading “Bond, Jane Bond”

wednesday workout

My day started with a walk to the park.  Coe was pretty adamant.  Now that it is cooler and wetter, she’s in heaven.  A true Oregonian she is.  If she weren’t so darn pesky, I would have been very happy to stay snug in bed until the very last minute. We bottled Gin 3 today.Continue reading “wednesday workout”
