Valentine’s Day Champagne Cocktail.  Sparkling!  Check.  Pink!  Check.  Fancy Chambord liqueur!  Check.  Romantic!  Check.  Emergen-C 1,000 mg Vitamin C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix!  Sad but true.  We immediately thought, “Hey, we can make this a little bit healthy!”  Don’t do what we do. Or say.

French Blonde

Uncategorized / By

We’re reading Taylor drinks French Blonde cocktails. Need we say more? Why not serve them for the Taylor Bowl? Gin, the French aperitif Lillet, St-Germain liqueur, and grapefruit juice.  Combine ingredients in a Super Bowl-sized pitcher, drink, and then make a pitcher for your guests.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E

Rest In Peace David McCallum.  His acting and musical credits are impressive but we will always remember him as Illya Kuryakin whose cool demeanor, physical proficiency with any weapon, and passion for art, music and science – not to mention his wealth of blonde hair – made him an immediate favorite among female viewers, whose fan mail to the actor was the most ever received in the history of MGM, which produced the show.

Corpse Reviver #2 To Die For

Food and Drink, Uncategorized / By

Praise be to the few restaurants that retain the professionalism of yesteryear. El Gaucho in Seattle is one such establishment. The seasoned staff still don tuxedos. The service is excellent. The food is superb. The drinks are delightful.

We requested that Jay our bartender serve one of his favorites. Gin forward, Lillet, Cointreau, Absinthe and lemon juice. And that’s how we ended up with a Corpse Reviver #2.

Goodbye to the perfect big brother

Uncategorized / By

Tony Dow, who played Wally on Leave It To Beaver, has passed away at age 77. The show, in syndication, has never gone off the air. Good clean family fun was the order of the day as the Beaver, Wally, and troublemaker Eddie Haskell navigated suburban life in a simpler world. Tony went on to act and direct in Hollywood. Rest In Peace, Tony.
