Yesterday, while flying to Ja...It is now confirmed. Yesterday, while flying to Jackson, Mississippi I opened the December issues of the Northwest World Traveler magazine to discover this statement by Todd Thrasher, “trail-blazing mixologist at Restaurant Eve in Alexandria, VA: Brown spirits, led by rye whisky, will become the rage.” He added, significantly, “I would love to make rum the next ‘it’ liquor.” Sadly, rum will have to wait its turn. For now, let’s hope that there is not a 2 hour only 50% off sale for rye at Walmart. I can only imagine the lethal stampede that would result. <BR/><BR/>I admit the Northwest World Traveler magazine is not the NYT, but still, it is the major publication of a recently merged airline. Cheers to that visionary and trail-blazzing mixologist Todd Thrasher.evdebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751403525450869553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581986007507162349.post-87314006245649550892008-12-03T19:43:00.000-06:002008-12-03T19:43:00.000-06:00Lars here.

Will be trying it out this weekend.<BR/><BR/>I have a question: I've noticed Obama has been photographed carrying around a biography of Lincoln (or a history of Lincoln's administration). I've also heard him reference what he's been reading as he makes appointment decisions.<BR/><BR/>If you were given the chance to influence Obama's reading, what historical works would you hope he should be consulting?<BR/><BR/>~larslars christiansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244877836354020337noreply@blogger.com
