There isn’t much I can say about the Gimlet that hasn’t already been said by Joshua E. London at this Amazon.com page.
Since the gimlet was supposedly invented by the British Royal Navy you may want to work on your jack slang for the next time you drink a gimlet with your mates. I worked up this statement which requires two people other than myself to be present at cocktail hour:
“Hey oppo. Keep this oxygen thief from going gulpers on my Gimlet while I go for a swamp!”
Tonight is the night of a much anticipated cocktail – The Clover Club.
This is the most complicated drink with the most exotic ingredients I’ve made so far.

My work week was such a joke that I laughed until I cried.
I stayed home from work on Monday to help out a friend in need. Because of this, I was able to catch an episode of Oprah. The episode was about Moms around the world, and it broke my heart.
The other day at work I had what I term a “crying-day.” I asked my favorite co-worker if she’d like to go to lunch and she replied, “Sure, but can Hallie come too? She’s crying in the bathroom.”
We decided to walk to the dim sum place in Chinatown. I thoughtfully stuffed my pockets full of Kleenex, and we took off. Once we had settled ourselves in the red vinyl booths, poured some tea, and selected our first plate of dumplings, we told our stories, offered each other support and brain-stormed constructive ideas.
Where do you cry at work?
Tomorrow is Take Back Your Time Day.
This day is scheduled 9 weeks from the end of the year, which is the number of extra weeks worked by Americans vs. our European counterparts.
Neither Hubby nor I had tasted a martini before this adventure.

The Gin Sour went without incident. A Sour is a drink that can be made with any of the major spirits (vodka, whisky, rum). You can purchase sour mix but it is very simple to make from scratch with fresh lemons and fresh mix tastes much better.
Since the Gin Sour was delicious and without incident, I thought I’d take some time to talk about the health issues associated with this mixology undertaking.
