Tales of the Cocktail Has Begun (but I’m stuck here reading the blog)

July 21, 2011 by elana Leave a Comment

If you’re even slightly interested in cocktails, you probably are aware that Tales of the Cocktail has begun down in New Orleans (no? you don’t know what I’m talking about? Read about it here and get ready to be jealous). This was on my ‘maybe’ plans but pretty much got written off due to an overabundant work load for both myself and my husband. Boo hoo and oh well. Honestly I’m crap trying to function in high temps with even higher humidity levels. So I’m vicariously living through the outstanding number of blogs covering the events, the parties and anything else thrown in between. Since there are too many places covering it and not wanting to leave any people out, a good starting place if you also want to be in the know would be the blog for Tales of the Cocktail itself: HERE. If you’ve discovered the wonderful thing that is the google reader, you can just add that RSS feed on there and periodically check out what’s happening.  There’s also a twitter feed, but since I have to be dragged kicking and screaming into figuring out how that works, I’ll let you all figure out how to get on there yourselves.

I’m heading out to spend my lunch break catching up and making notes of new products and recipes.

Also, on Bon Appetit this morning ran into THIS post on the front page. Erik over at the Savoy Stomp blog summed up my shared opinion a couple months back in a nice, well articulated argument against what seems to be a mounting backlash to those in the world who enjoy mixology, well crafted cocktails, etc… , read it here. I put this link in here because otherwise my only response was to read the Bon App article in the voice of Andy Rooney and you’ll get a laugh. To each his own, but still, funnier in a crotchety old man voice.
