Cheers to Ten Years!

September 15, 2010


Here’s to ten years together, Sexy Beast. I’d do it all over again.

Well, okay, I might not have dawdled so long that your pants got ruined by the surf, but other than that, everything’s just dreamy.

So I propose a toast: to ten years, three kids, two houses, many, many dead Betta fishes and lots of laughs. I wouldn’t have wanted to navigate this crazy highway with anyone but you.

Limoncello-Gin Cocktail with Grilled Thyme

from Fine Cooking

serves 1

2 large sprigs of fresh thyme, more for garnish

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) gin, preferably Bluecoat American Dry

1 tablespoon limoncello, preferably Averna Limoni di Sicilia

Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Grill the thyme sprigs until fragrant and lightly charred, about 15 seconds. In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle the grilled thyme with the lime juice. Add the gin and the limoncello and fill the shaker with ice. Stir well. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice, garnish with thyme, and serve.

Congratulations, TKW! Many more. If that’s a recent picture I am flabbergasted. Haven’t you been nagging nonstop about your wide butt? And there you are with no butt at all. Urg. All that cooking too!

Have a great celebrations!

Linda,

That is my ass 10 years ago. Alas, it is not at all the same.

I like your old ass. The current one I’ll have to wait until I see it to decide otherwise I’d just be lying, right? ;-)
