Boo, Burrell. At least a diagnosis is validating?
I went to a cooking class! It was fun. And I picked it because I came home with four+ meals for the freezer. Sweet! AND I heard from another woman in the class that "Cooking for Singles" wasn't as depressing as I had feared it would be, and it's the same teacher, and he's a good time, so. I may take that next.
But now I'm exhausted. And have plans tomorrow night, too. Zzzzzzz.
What's a good gin, bearing in mind I really only like it in gimlets?
You'd probably like Hendrick's, -t. It's infused with rose & cucumber after distilling, so it's considered a "distilled" gin (which is a ridiculous designation for a distilled liquid, but whatevs), and is much less juniper-y/dry/high-proof than your London dry gins, like Tanqueray or Broker's. I'm not a big London dry fan, but I love me some Hendrick's.
Jewel Staite’s new show on the CW, The L.A. Complex, literally got the worst TV ratings ever.
Intriguing! Thanks, juliana, I will look for that.
I recorded that show last night but haven't watched it yet, so I suppose I'm part of the problem.
I've strained my lime cordial and now I'm trying it with some fizzy water, but I can't tell if it tastes right.
Did you let it sit for another 24h after straining?
I did watch a half hour of the LA Complex, and it was totally worth it for Paul F. Tompkins. I know ita likes that show, and it got warm reviews.
I did not, bon, but it's back in the fridge and sitting now. I will check for deliciousness tomorrow.
I don't think I even knew that show existed.
ION, the job I was interviewed for on Monday and expected to start on today was first postponed until tomorrow and I just noticed an email from the temp company that they won't be ready for me til Monday.
It's actually ok, I seem to have come down with a cold and an upset stomach, so I will lie low and watch Microsoft Office training videos to get ready.
but I love me some Hendrick's
I second this! I didn't think I liked gin but I love Hendrick's. Especially with St. Germaine. Yum!
I have to strain out my lime cordial tonight, too, as well as my attempt at kumquat cordial/syrup.
Kumquat, eh? That sounds like a good idea.
Two strong endorsements for Hendrick's! I think I can swing by BevMo tomorrow and see if they have any.
