'THE SPARKLING PROFESSOR' AT TIN ROOF

One of my besties manages this place so I've had the pleasure of tasting nearly every cocktail on the menu... and THIS is the one bitch. Chicago girls tune in: Gin (trust me...), grapefruit, prickly pear and lime. Now CHECK that. Delicious and refreshing in all seasons

Gin!

My best friend went through bartending school this past summer and introduced me to some of the most incredible gin drinks. I realized that gin, which I previously regarded as piney and useless, was incredibly versatile. Gin can be lemony! Gin can be floral! Gin can be in a martini with giant stuffed olives! Gin and honey! Gin and curry oil (you wouldn’t believe it until you tried it) Gin and orange! Gin can be anything, and so can you! This is all applicable to mocktails too, if you have access to a nice faux gin (I’m all about mocktails) Wooooooooo!

Analog sunday

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“ This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

Writing down the things that bring you joy

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will. heres some of what I have so far: - Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company. - Strawberry jam - feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently. - A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love - Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie - Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk - lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts - small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
