Sweet! I am taking a social media (other than, you know, this) vacation this weekend. So in theory that means time to write. In practice, I also have an excessive amount of other stuff to do. But tonight is drankin' and writin' time.

[lolmac]

Yay for drankin' and writin'! Whatcha drankin' and whatcha writin'?

I don't know if I'll get any writin' done this time around, but I will definitely get some sewin' in. I have almost finished the chemise with the EPIC sleeves! Just a bit more tweaking and another ton or two of beads!

In my own drinkin' news, I have been exploring many many wonderful craft stouts and porters, and a bunch of herbal liqueurs. I have just discovered amaro. Y DID NOBUDDY TELL ME ABOUT AMARO B4?!?

Rum and coke with my favourite mt. gay golden rum, I don't know what I'm writing yet because I'm still futzing around looking for more fun rainbow things in my pictures folder. (I don't have any. Woe is me.)

Huh! I've only had Amaro as a part of mixed drinks at swank places that use many ingredients. It's good on its own?

EPIC SLEEVE YES!!1! Will there be pictures?

[lolmac]

*G* I will clearly have to post pictures, or you will never forgive me. (You could also come see the item in person . . . )

Re Amaro: I rarely have mixed drinks, and I have a deep love for complex, intense, potent tipples that bite back. (Bear in mind that I drink absinthe straight.) I basically found out that one type of this kind of thing I love has a name and a whole genre, and it's called Amaro.

When you drink something black
And it bites you right back
That's Amaro . . .

This sounds like an "and" sort of deal. Pictures, and drinking amaro while looking at the item in person. ;)

Perfecto!!

I even invented a new drink recently, thanks to this Washington distillery: https://brovospirits.com/

I had read about them some years back, and finally checked to see if they shipped out of state. That's actually where I learned about Amaro! I'd had my eye on their lavender liqueur (which turns out to be WONDERFUL over French vanilla ice cream), but I also got a small bottle of the Douglas fir liqueur. If you mix roughly half and half Douglas fir liqueur and St. Germaine elderflower liqueur, you get this amazing concoction that I have dubbed "Yggdrasil".

That sounds incredible! And the lavender over french vanilla also sounds pretty amazing.

I'll be around for at least some of this round, I hope!

At the moment, we're about to have dinner and watch a movie. But I'll be back at some point to get my write on. Cheers!

Huzzah! Hurry back!
