Cheers 🍷. I actually had two old fashions with orange peel and a cherry .

Funny, when you consider the cocktail is associated with conservative politics.

I don’t have any Chartreuse. Maybe I should get a bottle.

Have a lovely weekend!

Enjoy!!

Even if it’s only with hot tea!

to Walla Walla!! Glad to hear you had a good day in the clinic. We’ve got to hold on the the good moments in this wackadoodle reality.

Did you buy any wine?

Yes, I bought plenty of wine, which is a treat. I’ll refill my cellar and enjoy it over the next year. It’s cool and rainy in Walla Walla which is lovely. It’s usually so hot.

It’s not often you get the same kind of weather on both sides of the mountains.

You’ll have to tell me what label you like the best, and I’ll try to pick up a bottle of it. 🍷

I've got a batch of rum based vanilla extract, at least a pint. Can I use it as a drink base? I've been making my own vanilla for baking for years, but looking for other ways to enjoy it.

Thanks for advice

I would use vanilla as a flavoring agent, rather than a base. Vanilla is one of those flavors that is sublime in just the right amount; a little too much, and it becomes overpowering.

Let me know the outcome of your experiment.

I'll look for recipes

It was 92 degrees here today. (Not unusual for here.) Just came back from a brewpub evening with friends. Cheers!
