This is what happens when I make threats, apparently. Here I sit, listening to The Beatles' first album and mulling over what I could possibly do to review bitters. For the uninitiated, bitters is an infusion of several herbs and botanicals that come together to craft a spirit with a distinctly bitter taste. Mainly used as a flavoring agent and not a drink in and of itself, bitters has a variety of great uses in both cocktails and cooking.
I've got a bottle of Angostura Bitters sitting here – an unassuming little bottle with a yellow top.

Hi, everyone.
Thank you for joining me for this month's cocktail. I have recently been experimenting with port and some of its possibilities for mixing. I enjoy a nice glass of ruby or tawny port during a cold winter night or after dinner. However, outside of a Portonic I never really did much with it during the spring and summer months.... until now.
The cocktail I would like to share with you is a cross between a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned and is a fantastic sipper with subtle complexity and sophisticated masculinity. I call this cocktail Gotham City for its dark

Thanksgiving always conjures certain thoughts for me: a big turkey dinner (obviously), watching the local football game with family and friends, and a warm house to enter after the game. Throughout my childhood we would attend the Thanksgiving game with my dad, and I always felt frozen by the time we were home. A hot bath and a cup of cocoa were what I needed.
As an adult, there hasn't always been a local game to watch, but there were plenty of family games of football and long walks throughout the neighborhood. The results still are the same- I am freezing

It's after 5:00 pm on a Friday afternoon that is the start of a 3-day weekend. Well, sort of a 3-day weekend. I am sure there will be some work on Monday, but it won't be a full workday. So, as far as I am concerned, it is a 3-day weekend.
Having stated that, I will confess that knowing I had one project to complete before starting my weekend, I was seeking the easiest way to complete that project. Luckily for me (and you, the reader), the easiest way also happens to be tasty and fun.
The remaining project was creating and
