A Limoncillo Toast...

New posts
:wub: ...thanks OL!!!!
 
My hubby is near London. He says it's wet and cold as he*l. Glad I didn't go. Not that I was invited ... he knows that I would have gone bat-sh*t crazy on flights from ATL to London to Shanghai to Sydney to Seoul to ATL. It's winter in Sydney, but it's colder in England where it's summer. :idontno:

Sorry you're experiencing rain in Paris. :( It's still magical.:wub:

Yeah, back in the day, the US dollar was so good in Paris. We bought Baccarat crystal as if it were glassware at Wal-Mart, and I have bought my share of Chanel. The last few times we've gone, only the Asians appear to be buying. As a matter of fact, because of the relative economies, I have found that as an American, it's hard to get waited on at the LV shop just off the Champs. I'll be agonizing over the price of a Speedy, and they'll be buying two dozen Epi's with matching wallets and cosmetic cases. I always feel like Rodney Dangerfield there -- I don't get no respect. Comme ci, comme ?a.
 
my great limoncello adventure :

i got the peels soaking in the alcohol today - i just had to smell the concoction, here's the verdict:

the vodka mix smells fresh and lemony and wonderful

the everclear mix smells like lemon scented lighter fluid :blink:

Told ya. :funn:


Miss Kitty-What a wonderful report!! I can imagine that you made ONLY friends and NO enemies!! :wub: I can't wait to hear all about it in person!!
 
No, but it's his newest, favorite cellist, Steven Isserlis.
Gosh, you can just see the passion in his playing. I love that.

Sorry for the tangent. Miss K, I'm sure you've heard some beautiful chamber music on your European trip. One of my fondest memories from Rome is stubbling upon a concert at the Chiesa di San Ignazio near the Pantheon. It was a magical night.
 
so, is the Kitty spending lots of time in the sidewalk cafe' S/D/C'ing, wearing her sowal hat, and plastering sowal stickers on old buildings and statues? :biggrin: not that I would suggest such.
I'll have to admit that I've been "The Ugly American" and worn a Gator t-shirt in Roma. :blush: It worked to my advantage in Tuscany. I knew that a bunch of our art students were studying there (UGA summer abroad). As I was walking down the street in Cortona (the hill town made famous by Frances Mayes in "Under The Tuscan Sun") I heard "Dr. R."! It was one of my students! I was so happy to see him. Small world.:D
