gratitude

Okay. I really appreciate those of you who are bringing wine to the WedSpags. It is SO much better than salad.

Remember when I had that big movement to have a seasonal drink that we could all share? I've failed miserably! I think that our winter drink was supposed to be peppermint schnapps in hot chocolate. Who wants to bring the schnapps next week? I'll make us some real cocoa on the stovetop and we will use skim milk and skip the big bowl of marinated cheese (read:all it is is mozzarella coated in olive oil. who thought of that?!?! so bad!). Because, even though I think all of us ladies are fabulously gorgeous and ballerina thin, I want it to be a long, long time before we all sit around my table and complain about how fat we are.

Ladies, WedSpag has an official spokesdrink.

Thanks to my and Samantha's love of gin (because we think it is 1923) and Amy Jo's suggestion that the incredible organic lemonade from Whole Foods (or the cheap crap from the Chinese store on my corner) tastes even more incredibler with gin, and Sara's urban garden that produces cucumbers we found it.

Now it needs a name.

What do you call a lemonade with a healthy dose of gin and a garnish of cuke? I'm sure that it already has a name. Something so delicious has to already been invented but we can call it what we want. Anyone feeling creative this morning?

Oh, and by the way, no. No it doesn't taste so good with spaghetti, but it sure does taste good before spaghetti. I'll never drink another gin and tonic as long as we both shall live.
