Scheduling adventures made it so Adam and I got to record, in-person, on Saturday morning. We enjoyed a brunch-adjacent cocktail with some cold brew, bourbon, maple syrup, and, um, some other stuff.
I could get used to this recording slot.
I wasn't allowed to tell my W. C. Fields joke, but we found a way to get through it anyway.

###Followup and Footnotes
I’ve gotten back into Cocaine and Rhinestones and this song popped up:
I haven’t been a huge George Jones fan, but this song hits me just right.
We’re still at it and having a good time talking about, as we say, Things We Like.

It’s still fun to cook up a new-to-me cocktail for podcast recording but I struggle sometimes with inspiration. Googling for cocktails kind of sucks.
That the is The Princeton, according to this great 1971 4th edition of Playboy’s Host and Bar Book. I wouldn’t have considered adding lime juice to a dry martini, but the result isn’t bad at all.
There are a jillion recipes in this book, but also a lot of old-school party hosting rules and advice. Like, it goes into the right kind of ice and explores a wide range of glassware options. Sadly, despite being a Playboy publication, no nudes.
These are still a lot of fun so we’re still at it.
I read a book! Adam has some YouTube inspiration! And we both have new tunes to recommend! Enjoy!
