The-Book's-Here Recipe Night! LPG Comma-Kaze

Let's just say we've been through a bit of a dry spell. Not for lack of working however. And certainly not for lack of drinking either. Our first shipment of Happy Hour in the High Peaks arrived today. While our work is far from done it's time we tipped our hats (and glasses) to our editor and publisher Lawrence P. Gooley of Bloated Toe Publishing.

Larry is a self-proclaimed teetotaler who after working with us through several edits has made numerous threats to start drinking. How we could ever drive anyone to drink is beyond comprehension but we'll play along.

Throughout the editing process we began to think that Larry was charging us for every comma he had to add to our drafts.  It wasn't long before we started calling him the "Comma-Kaze."  In his honor we have concocted and imbibed that drink.  We substituted Absolut Citron for plain vodka in homage to his Absoluteness.  We have also removed all commas from our text just to drive him to that drink he so deserves.

Cheers to Lawrence P. Gooley!

LPG Comma-Kaze
1 part Absolut Citron
1 part Cointreau
1 part fresh squeezed lime
Shake over ice and strain into shot glasses.  Makes 3 servings - 1 for Kim 1 for Pam and 1 for LPG

We paid a visit to Jane at Basil & Wick's to deliver the very first public copy of the book and a nifty 46er sign identifying Basil & Wick's as a 46er destination and to finalize party plans. Have you heard about the book release premier? Join us this Wednesday night from 4-8 pm at Basil & Wick's in North Creek as we kick off the summer season and the Happy Hour Tour.

The buzz about the bar (buzz being the key word) was of Happy Hour Tour Caravans (with police escort), tour t-shirts, passports, and a prize package for the first to complete and authenticate their tour passport. The board is currently developing an appropriate package. Passports and tour hats will available at the premier. See you there!

We don't ever really do things in a small way. Every event is cause for celebration (duh). Arrival of Happy Hour in the High Peaks found Kim at an eye appointment and Pam all too eager to rip open the first box. She was firmly instructed to wait. Finally we got to the opening part with Pammie brandishing the nearest pair of scissors.

We hope you'll come and see it for yourselves.

Cheers & Bottoms Up!
Kim & Pam
