Like any good drink, this recipe starts with a story. This drink is a bit like me. In high school I was a cheerleader. I am the sort of woman who screams if she runs into a snake in the backyard. I like to dress up and wear feminine clothing. However, those aren't all of the qualities that define me.
In fact, I take issue with people who make comments, such as, "You were a cheerleader!" with a laugh of disgust. Because in addition to my sport of choice in high school, there are other pieces to who I am.

I know, it's November and chilly, or at least it is in New England.

I hit one of my usual beer spots the other day and slapped a mix six together. Lately, I’ve been trying beers from breweries I’m not familiar with, which is why Southampton’s Altbier made it in to the box. After a convincing recommendation I felt I should give it a go.
Altbier is a German style of beer, traditional red ale. Unlike a Killian’s, an Irish red, this German ale was smooth and had some extra
Martini with a Hint of Fall
by Michele on November 5th, 2008 | Cocktails, Martinis
I am a seasonal sort of diner. I like salads and fresh fruits with my meals during warm weather. As the weather turns chilly, I discard salads in favor of soups, stews, and other warm dishes. I also vary the ingredients that I use by season.
As fall is in full swing, I have been in a cranberry frame of mind when it comes to meals and drinks. Last week I enjoyed a delicious turkey sandwich that included cranberry sauce. I also have been incorporating cranberry juice into my drinks.

Beer Review: Woodstock Inn Brewery, Autumn Ale Brew
by J Frazzetta on November 4th, 2008 | BeerI decided to ignite the grill for a ‘last hoorah to warm weather’ last weekend. To ring in the fall weather I cracked open a Woodstock Inn Autumn Ale. Some seasonal brews are a little off the mark at times, this one was right on target.
