And Now For Something A Little Different
I am not usually one to alter my habits. To the extent this is true, the Espousa has suggested that, were anything ever to happen to her, it may not be wise for me to enter into a subsequent relationship. It could prove problematic for both parties. That said; I tried something a little different this evening. My Friday night pint of G&T. Yes, pint. In the late 70's and early 80's riding the train home from the loop in Chicago, I had the singular misfortune for the first several years to be on a line that did not have a club car, owing to the fact one of the towns through which the train traveled was "dry."
It was also, and probably still is, illegal to purchase a cocktail in Chicago and take it from the bar, but I learned of a spot that provided a unique solution. In the fog of remembrance, I can't quite remember the code, but if you ordered your drink in a certain way, they would provide you a 16 oz. cocktail in a Styrofoam cup with a lid. Many a summer evening ride home, especially following evening classes for my MBA, there was a pint accompanying me on the ride home. Anyway, there where I got started on a "City of Big Shoulders" G&T.
On to this evening. A friend suggested I try a dab of Key limejuice in my G&T to spice it up a little. I have followed the suggestion and it is tasty, but I fear I may simply use the rest to make a pie and drink the G&T the way the Brits intended it.
BTW, if you dont know what G&T stands for, I'll give a hint that in this case it isnt gifted and talented. Instead check out this website for illumination.
