“Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” -Ernest Hemingway

French Breeze (Gourmet, July 1961):

There are too few cocktails made with Calvados. And there are too few cocktails made with grapefruit juice. Here’s one with both. Unless you’re a big fan of bitter orange, go easy on the orange-flower water.

Pour 2 ounces each of Calvados and fresh grapefruit juice into a cocktail shaker one-third full of cracked ice. Add 2 dashes orange-flower water and 1/4 teaspoon fine granulated sugar. Shake the drink well and pour it into a chilled 12-ounce highball glass. Fill the glass with chilled Champagne and stir lightly to blend.

-Gawker mourns the shut-down of the Beatrice Inn as "a tragedy for the entire City of New York, which relies heavily on the Beatrice to each night safely stow away some 125 of its most fucking annoying citizens." (Gawker)

-A writer experiments by walking around in a new Balmain jacket for a week and--surprise--now loves shoulder pads. Why aren't there any Craigslist posts looking for people to participate in this kind of trial? I would sign up. (Sunday Times)
