10 weeks. 6.5 books. That's not too shabby! I'm not the fastest reader but I love to read and I've found that I'm reading more and watching less TV after Amalia goes to bed at night these days. It calms me before sleep and takes me out of my head for an hour every night. Here is a round-up of all the books I've read so far since we've been staying at home and a review of each, ranked from favorite to least favorite.
This is a post about my one of my all-time favorite cocktails... but it's also a post about my relationship with alcohol, and how the last few months have changed that. So if you're just looking for the recipe, scroll all the way down and I got you covered. The mezcal old fashioned is smokey, sweet, bitter, and, in my opinion, the perfect cocktail.
We're on day 60 of social and physical distancing and it's starting to wear on everyone in a new way each week. I felt hopeful when they started talking about lifting restrictions in Connecticut but in reading the news and hearing what Fauci has to say on the matter, it feels like false hope and a sick joke.
I visited the Tuckernuck website today because I wanted to check out their new homemade face mask collection that benefits No Kid Hungry and Mount Sinai Hospitals in NYC. I bought this one and love this three-pack.
While I was there, I also fell in love with their spring/summer dress collection. From the prettiest lemon print midi dress to a striped shirtdress, I would be happy with one of each!
