Best cocktail EVER.

I know, I know: I suck at blogging now. No one probably even checks to see if I've posted anymore.

But just in case: we were visiting Kell in Chi-town this last week and while there had the best cocktail ever. Here were the ingredients: (lots of colons in this post) Plymouth Gin, splash of grapefruit juice, lavender simple syrup, elderflower liqueur, mint--served straight up in a martini glass. Amazing.

It was good to see sister Kell again in her new environs. Her place is small but cozy and she was so generous as to have us crash with her while we were there. We had fun eating out ALOT (more than any of us ever had, I think), seeing some sites and even went to a Cubbs / Dodgers game (not that the timing of that was in any way accidental. M is a huge Dodgers fan.) Aunt Kelly took Audrey to the American Girl store for tea and even bought her her very first A.G. baby, which she has named Meg. (I guess we'll need to call her Meg II, since she already named one doll Meg.) Anyway, hopefully a pics will follow, but I'm not promising anything.

Btw- for some strange reason I'm feeling weird about having a private blog after all. As if I was going to post something scandalous. Might undo the private thing but am considering the pros and cons.
