The original timeline for this project saw us eating Thanksgiving dinner in the new house. It’s safe to say that’s not gonna happen now. Several days of rain kept the city workers from digging this week. Fingers crossed they can get back to work next week.
With a knowing nod to Halloween, this week’s intended drink was The Zombie, a cocktail that reportedly rose to fame at the 1939 World’s Fair. It has everything we need: it’s historical, it involves a ridiculous amount of rum, and it’s garnished with real fruit so it’s, um, healthy.
Unfortunately, poor planning on my part paired with a never-before-heard-of ingredient (falernum, anyone?) resulted in shelving The Zombie until next year. Plus, we should give our livers a break, shouldn’t we?
