Went shopping today and treated myself to lunch out-by myself!
Truth be told…that’s one of my favorite things to do.
That's the best treat ever. I'm planning on doing that Saturday or Sunday!

Some pinky bubbly - this bottle has been in the fridge since Valentine’s (we never got around to drinking it then), and I say there’s no need to wait for a special occasion - Friday is special enough!
We had ginger ale and brandy with a bit of lemon, which the Internet says is called a Horse’s Neck/Horse’s Neck with a Kick.
I didn’t know all that…I just saw the brandy and the ginger ale and thought, “Why not?”

TastyReuben and karadekoolaid I think I'm going to start taking myself out to lunch more often, it was very enjoyable!
Not that I want to get away from anyone, but it was nice to just sit and enjoy in peace.

When Covid happened I started making my own bitters. This is gentian root.
This one on the left is particularly good. The ingredients are mixed with 1 cup of highest proof you can get alcohol. I use Golden Grain brand at 190 proof.
This is a good book.

That's a good price. Can't really find them much in Rome, GA unless you're willing to pay too much. Online they're anywhere from $1.50/oz up to how much have you got! Mine cost pennies an oz.

Not really my cup of tea but grandkids love it. When we go to our Chinese restaurant they order that so I know they like it. Is it a Chinese thing???

Bitters actually started as a medicinal way to take herbal infusions so it probably spans many cultures. Hailing originally from New Orleans LA one of the favored brands is Peychaud. Peychaud's Bitters - Wikipedia
...and don't forget Angostura bitters, invented in 1824 in Angostura ( now Ciudad Bolivar), Venezuela. Used to cure upset tums.
