On the Road: Thanksgiving 2025


We spent Thanksgiving in Worcester, Massachusetts at the home of the English Prof, as is our usual tradition.  New this year, my nephew and niece joined us.  Both are suddenly living in the Northeast after growing up in California.  For you, a few photo highlights:

Inspired by English Prof's copy of Uneasy Elixirs: 50 Curious Cocktails Inspired by the Works of Edward Gorey by Virginia Miller, a couple new cocktails...

Hamish's Pride

I made a few adaptions to one of Miller's recipes: The Deadly Blotter.  It's essentially a Manhattan with bubbles so I adjusted to match my own Manhattan recipe.  So I will call this The Squid's Blotter.
