The Cider Club Cocktail

A drink I'm working on for our winter menu. It's a take on the classic Clover Club Cocktail but with cranberry instead of raspberry or grenadine. We started by making a cranberry cider reduction as our base and then used gin, sweet vermouth, juice from one lemon wedge and egg white.

Tranquility

My yard is beautiful right now. We are about to be in peak foliage season in Madison, NH and my yard has this beautiful golden glow to it.

Josh and I went over to the Fryeburg Fair today, mostly to eat disgustingly delicious food, and walked around for a while, navigating through the painfully slow sea of people. We had some amazing sausage and fried dough and french fries and of course brought home some candy apples. Now I'm relaxing outside having a glass of wine, happy friday.

My United States of Whatever

Tavi Gevinson, you rock girl. Seriously, Rookie is such an amazing web zine, I wish it existed when I was 16, although I don't think I could love it any more because it is inspiring and full of useful advice regardless of what age you are, I read it every day. Rookie reminds me so much of my younger self, a blur of The Virgin Suicides, punk rock music, diy style, and girl power all bundled into one angst filled teenage girl. I happened to swing by Tavi's blog this afternoon and saw a photoshoot that she and Petra Collins did for Oyster Magazine called My United States of Whatever.





These are just a couple shots, you can check out the whole shoot here. I'm loving the vintage looks she rocks so well and the late summer days vibe present in the shoot. Tavi, keep doing what you do girl, I'm diggin' it.
