Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, the cocktail I invented: The Cascade Sunset. Vodka, tonic water, limoncello, and a splash of Aperol. Delish!

Long, hard week in clinic. Ready to relax and watch The Great British Baking Show.

I love you all…

We were in the Cascades in July in Leavenworth. Hot, dry, but beautiful. We love the Pacific NW…..in the summer.

...is how supportive the contestants are of one another. I don't like it when various of the American cooking competitions make the participants choose techniques, ingredients or equipment that will make things harder for their fellow cooks. Too mean spirited.

I did think of a question. I get a kick out of judge Prue's crazy, colorful glasses. I read on line that she often is filled wearing just the frames without any lenses so that there is no glare from the bright lighting reflecting off the lenses. I had not known that. Did you?
