How to enjoy a Thursday Night
After a long day at work, I recommend the following:
Change clothes. I picked yoga pants and a glow-in-the-dark tshirt from here.
Run to the gym. Work out your frustrations on the treadmill.
Come home sweaty. Pound a glass of water while you make dinner. I chose a "Count-On-Us Ham and Mushroom Pizza" from M&S and a salad with cos lettuce, tomatoes, spring onions, and a basic mustard vinaigrette.
Eat dinner. Drink another glass of water.
Go in the kitchen and grab the Makers Mark.
Ice the shaker. Three parts MM, one part plus a kiss of sweet vermouth, three dashes bitters. Cap the thing and shake it like a hurricane, preferably dancing about to Soul City.(If you've got my 40@40 it's on there.) Serve up with a cherry, or a strawberry if that's what you have.
Sit down on the sofa and watch the new season of Extras whilst you sip your delicious nectar of gods.

And you're a bourbon drinker? You are DEFINITELY invited for cocktails at the compound lounge. Hey, I just realized--you can buy absinthe in the UK I think. You should treat yourself to an authentic Sazerac cocktail some night, complete with real absinthe and not Absente or Herbsaint.
Yes, Marg, indulge regardless of what you're doing that day. A good manhattan makes any day better!)
Used to live in Seattle, Bubs, and Portland is just a little weekend trip away. Me likey the performance art and spectacle, plus I'm almost as fascinated by the cult of Elvis as I am of Mormons...how could I NOT find it?
Yes, I'm a bourbon drinker. And I'd figured that one out about the absinthe. ;) There's a bar in London that has a million kinds of bourbon AND absinthe, and it was conveniently located on my route to the Toulouse Latrec show at the Tate...I'll bring you a bottle when I stop by for cocktails.

CP, Elijah Craig is EXCELLENT. So is Buffalo Trace. Had that at a bar in London not so long ago.
