I don't have Cynar, but I have a bottle of locally made caraway liquor, which I was wondering what to do with. Add it to vermouth.

Twice. First time, was moldy cheese. In the dead of winter, I order from Peapod so I didn't pick the cheese out myself. They quickly refund the price of the cheese. The second time was for a bag of rotten carrots. I now live a 1/2 a block form my store, so it wasn't a big deal.

French 75 are for anytime of year. I also just found Ikea sells Elderberry syrup, which is very good.

My grandma took my sister and I to one of her's friends for lunch. She proceeded to feed a 7 and 9 year old boiled tongue and cabbage. Granted to say this didn't go over very well with two kids. My sister took a lot of trips to the bathroom and stashed pieces of tongue in hiding places along the way. After I was told I had to eat the tongue but not the cabbage, the tongue was quickly shoved under the cabbage.

Granted to say, I actually like both tongue and cabbage today. Just not together, or boiled.

My parents still live in the house my dad grew up in. I dread the day they decide to leave, because there is now three generations of stuff in the basement.

I love Alice Medrich's sour cream ice cream from pure dessert. I also love doing sweet and savory combos that have bacon. I've done Maple Bacon, Vanilla with Bacon Bark, and salt caramel and bacon. You might have guessed, I like bacon.

I also recommend the Arm & Hammer Natural Cat Litter. It is a corn cob litter, and I found it works better then Feline Pine.

I love Room Services. I've purchased one big item here, an awesome vintage folding game table that stores 4 folding chairs in the base. I make a great dining table for small apartment. I've also found many small wonderful things here for my home and as gifts. Plus, Paul is wonderful.
