Good morning (or afternoon if you are single). Hope your weekend is off to a good start and you get some time to relax today.
I am staying with friends this weekend and ready for some serious cartoon time with two of my favorite elementary-aged boys. They learned long ago that crazy Aunt GI will let them eat cupcakes for breakfast and watch the really awesome cartoons dad won’t.

WhoooHooo! It’s Friday night. Hopefully you will have a chance to relax and wind down from the week. Today is national Drink Wine Day. We all hate conforming, so screw that.
Here is how you make a Manhattan, which is my favorite cocktail.
What you need:
Ice
1 ounce rye whiskey
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce dry vermouth<
Lemon twist for garnish
What you do with it: Chill a martini glass in the freezer. Place ice in a cocktail pitcher or shaker. Pour whiskey and sweet and dry vermouths into the shaker or pitcher. Shake or stir to mix. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon. (Note: The Grand Inquisitor prefers a maraschino cherry to lemon, and she pours just a little of the juice in with the vermouth. It makes it a grown up version of a Roy Rogers).
Don’t drink? Make one of these, they are tasty and easy.
What you need:
2 oz peach nectar
chilled sparkling cider
What you do with it: Pour the peach nectar into a Champagne flute. Slowly add the Cider. Smile knowing you won’t have a hangover tomorrow.
Have a wonderful evening.
