| Notes On A Cocktail Napkin...
|
Is it just me or is everyone else chock-a-block the past few weeks? I've been working on several quilts (none of which I get to keep, by the way) and my volunteer projects, plus preparing and packing for a move to a bigger house. I've been working hard on my cocktail book, as the publisher is putting together a "press kit", which means I have completed the book's Table of Contents and several print-ready graphics of martinis and other drinks on a horrifying deadline. The strange thing is that I'm eating this up! I'm really enjoying it all, for whatever crazy reason. I'm sending this out now so that I can dig in and really get some great recipes to you through the BellaOnline Cocktails site. No doubt I'll be a candidate for Rogaine in a few months from all the pulling-my-hair-out screaming days that are bound to come, but for now I'm happy enough to sit with a Double-Double And Donut Cocktail, the sun on my face, and the breeze tickling my kitchen windchimes. How is your June going? Drop by our Forum to fill me in.
