It was my ambition to create cocktails for all three Crawley sisters (because original cocktails for the whole cast, while admirable, might be a bit daunting). First up is Sybil, the youngest, and my (and maybe your) personal favorite. Sybil is so easy to like…she’s sweet without being saccharine, headstrong, and a bit stubborn. For her, I created a cocktail with delicate, rarefied flavors (St. Germain and champagne) that’s grounded with something a bit more everyman (London dry gin). The end product is sweet, lovely, and stronger than you’d expect.

When I saw that sign out of all of those signs, I was like, I’ve got to have a picture of it. I thought if my 87-year-old mother sees this, I’m going to get hell this weekend, but it was too late.

Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans. But I have some friends who are NASCAR team owners.

His clueless factor goes to 11.

Whoa!!! This takes me back. This and A-Dock. Makes me want to bust out the old Snow iMac hiding out in my basement.

So appealing at the time.

Pat showed me this awesome Star Trek: The Next Generation twitter account yesterday. Simply put it’s two sentence plot lines from what could have been the 8th season of TNG. It’s unbelievable. Seriously follow it.
