So why the long absence from this blog? Where the heck have I been? What could possibly be more important than sharing random thoughts with friends and strangers on the internet? ​
Well, I don’t know if you are aware, but the holiday season is a hectic time. Heck-tick. Parties, shopping, cleaning, guests, wrapping, and all that merry-making. Hoo-boy! Some people handle all the To Do’s and Fancy Do’s with style, grace, and a natural ease that I envy. I am not blessed with any of those admirable qualities, dagnabbit, but I do know that after a long day of holiday prep, a nice glass of vino in front of the twinkling Christmas tree works wonders to soothe this savage, stressed-out beast.
Also nice?

​Holiday music that you haven't heard blasted in the stores every day since Halloween.

Here's a fun playlist curated by Turntable Kitchen, another awesome food + music site that's worth a look-see. Enjoy! 

The posting schedule will be light between now and the New Year, with just a few cocktail recipes, songs, and stories to share.
​​
In the meantime, please have a look at a few of our previously posted holiday-related recipes:
  • Rugelach – the recipe comes from Ina Garten, and Ilise makes it delicious each and every year
  • Mandelbread – there are many ways to spell the name of this delicious cookie, and no wrong way to devour it
  • Pimento Cheese Spread – perfect for holiday noshes, or a snack for the Man in Red when he comes to visit on Dec 24
  • The Sugar Plum Cocktail – Ho ho ho! You will feel quite merry with one of these in hand!
Sugar Plum Cocktail
Enjoy a Sugar Plum Cocktail on a snowy day. Or a sunny day. Or a day that ends in "Y"!
