G&T

Is there anything more summer appropriate than a Gin & Tonic on a hot day?**

Obviously the answer to this question is “no”.

When Catie came over yesterday we had to have G&T’s because it was a wonderfully hot summer day. I used the last drops of my Bombay Gin (from now on all Gin on LCC is Tanqueray) and I also used diet tonic. Tonic is actually quite caloric. There was lime for good measure of course.

And for mixing?

Swizzle stick that I got when I stayed at the Plaza in New York when I was 15! My mom saved and sent it when she converted my childhood bedroom to a guest room. Mixes the cocktails well every time.

What is your favorite Summer cocktail?

**Answering “a south side” cocktail would also be left coast approved ;)

    Hey everyone. It’s been a busy week over here. For starters, this happened: Hooded and ready to go. Last Friday my law school career officially ended with my law school graduation. I’m not sure I really have the words to describe the experience yet. Hands down, it was the greatest day of my life. Nerd [...]

  • The ends not near, it’s here. May 8, 2012
    On top of the mountain. Get it? So last Wednesday I took my final law school exam and as we speak I am editing the final paragraphs of my Clinical Project. I will be completely and totally finished with everything associated with law school this evening. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on my [...]

  • Why eat food when you can wear it: My avocado facial April 29, 2012
    I am a frequent reader of xojane.com. I was a HUGE fan of Jane Magazine back in the day. I don’t read many “woman’s magazines” but I always loved Jane. Since Jane is no longer I have become an avid reader of xojane.com. It’s not the same as Jane but I read it daily. I [...]

  • Bacon, Leek and Scallion Pizza inspired by Pizzeria Mozza April 25, 2012
    It’s a well known fact: I love pizza. While some have strong Chicago vs. New York opinions, I will pretty much enjoy any pizza as long as it’s well made. OK, that is a bit of a lie. Chicago pizza is boss. If you have a good, crispy yet thick crust and the right sauce [...]

  • Plan Check April 15, 2012
    I’ve made a really obvious recent discovery: The LA Times website has an entire section devoted to food on the Westside! How did I not figure this out sooner? Obviously, the second I figured out that this section of the site existed I read all the entries that have been posted in the past year. [...]
