Overheard at the office: “I haven’t seen you in class recently, given up the gym?” “Yes. Vodka is the new Spinning.” (Spinning is a form of exercise, usually very high intensity.)

I think I can conclusively say that “gin, then wine, then tequila” needs to get a check mark in the “Bad Idea” column…

Rochelle and I are, shall we say, fond of cocktails. We’ve been known to drink a few, and even make a few for friends and guests. And, we’re always on the lookout for new ones, especially things that are easy to make and serve. This year’s find: Trader Joe’s Organic Strawberry Lemonade.

When Rochelle proposed we go out Thursday, I asked her, given she is planning a summer picnic for 100 people and has a school assignment due, both on Saturday, if she should be going out drinking. She said it was OK, but we absolutely could not go anywhere else after. So of course, when the guy sitting on the bar stool next to me told us about The Glenlivet party that was starting in 30 minutes, we decided to crash that one, too.
