Happy Wednesday! Can you believe it’s June? How are we halfway into 2016 already? First, I’d like to give a big, huge thank you to the romance community. It’s been about a week since Redheadedgirl and Sassy teamed up to start a GoFundMe, and over $7000 has been raised! So thank you to those who have donated, those who have shared the GoFundMe page, those of you who have sent positive vibes and prayers. Seriously, all … Continue reading Links: Color Palettes, Knitting, & Cocktails!→
I think I can safely (and finally) say that Boston has been released from the unrelenting grip of winter. Unfortunately, my allergies are in full effect and I often wake up in the morning surrounded by wads of tissues. So despite the lovely, sunny weather we’re having in New England right now, I am inside with the windows shut and my system pumped full of allergy meds. Thankfully, I have plenty of books to keep … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: Sweet Hot Chris→
I’d like to preface this Covers & Cocktails by saying I suffered two casualties while making this drink. The first was me, a woman standing at a staggering 5’0” (1.5 meters), consuming an entire bottle of champagne on a Wednesday afternoon. The second was tripping over the cat and breaking our last remaining champagne flute. But, that just meant I had to make this drink in a Samuel Adams glass, which is probably more fitting … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Black Velvet→
Happy March! It’s supposed to be spring in Boston, but winter is still holding on as long as possible. I’m sick of being a human sausage casing and just want to wear dresses without tights! But another month means another cocktail, and I’ve been talking about this book all over the place. I know I’ve mentioned it on a recent podcast with the rest of ladies and in this month’s Hide Your Wallet post. I’m … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: The Jane Steele→
It’s February! And honestly, that has very little bearing on this tasty drink I’m about to make, aside from the fact that if I make a mint julep at noon on a Wednesday, I’ll forget about the fact that 2016 is already going by way too quickly for my comfort. It also means I’m one month closer to some family holiday and my Italian mother laying on the guilt that she doesn’t have grandchildren yet. … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: Off to the Races→
The year is almost over and 2016 is almost upon us! I, personally, am excited for new experiences, new books, and new butts to touch. But before you make this drink, feel free to pour one out for the year and celebrate some good things: gay marriage was legalized in the states, the U.S. discovered Canada has a hot new prime minister, and Pop Tarts came out with a maple bacon flavor. Though the drink … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Late Night at the Library→
So far, the best thing about adulthood is being able to come home, take off my pants, pour myself a very strong drink, and watch reality television until my eyes fall out of my face. At my apartment, there is never a shortage of booze. Never. We haven’t had any butter in our refrigerator in three weeks, but we damn sure have a nice bottle of Riesling. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Bourbon Lemonade→
