Adventures in Booze
So I’m starting on a new project. I’ve mentioned The Drunken Botanist a number of times (review) and now I’m really starting to have fun with it. The list you see above is the list of cordials and alcohols that I want to try from the book. They either sound interesting in their own right or they’re ingredients in cocktails mentioned that sound tasty. My exposure to liquors outside of the usual is pretty limited so as you can see, it’s an extensive list. It goes onto the back of the page. My plan is to review the stuff I’ve bought and the cocktails I’ve tried and I’m always open to suggestions. I also plan to take ridiculous pictures and have Greta in as many of them as I can. Because what else is the internet for?
Adore-a-bull!
At lunch, I was playing around with some photos and Paint (because my work computer doesn’t have anything more sophisticated) and came up with this fun little card.
I think it’s adore-a-bull!
Adopt-a-Bull!
I’ve posted about my dog a couple of times here. Greta Splendens, née Dolce, was adopted from The Washington Animal Rescue League this summer. She is, we think, a bullmastiff mix, although no idea what the other half is as she really just looks like a mini mastiff, with a slightly less smooshed nose. She has been a joy and a half and even when she’s loudly protesting the presence of the garbage truck, I love that she’s in my life. I hope that if you’re looking for a dog, you consider looking past the hype and check out the thousands of bull breed dogs in shelters. Pitbulls, bulldogs, boxers and their mixes make fabulous pets.
If you already have a bull breed, how about helping convince other people? I’m sure your dog is a fabulous breed ambassador, so here are some stamps to help spread the word.
