You won’t be stressing this summer if you’re sipping on this tasty glass of general badassery. The antioxidant loaded in theses blackberries will make sure free radicals aren’t fucking up your day. And the bourbon? YOU EARNED THAT SHIT.

BLACKBERRY BOURBON FIZZ 

5 blackberries

5 ice cubes

1 shot of bourbon

¾ cup cold ginger ale (none of that high fructose corn syrup, aspartame nonsense either. Get good shit that has fucking ginger root as an ingredient)

¼ cup cold club soda  (optional)

Put the blackberries in the bottom of a tall glass and mash them around with a spoon. Keep some big chunks because it looks cool. Add the ice and then the bourbon, ginger ale, and club soda. I like adding club soda because it keeps it tasting refreshing as fuck but you can save some cash and just add more ginger ale. Garnish with fresh basil if you are trying to impress somebody.

Serves 1 but invite a fucking friend, no need to drink alone

We made this for our friend Dara over at Cosmo.com

The most important line? The Bourbon helps you fight BULLSHIT.

I have bourbon. The blackberries are currently ripening on the vine. All I need’s the ginger ale.

What Does Your Kitchen Say About You?

Erik Klein Wolterink has spent a lot of time researching, photographing, and editing images of kitchens.

Surprisingly, the Dutch photographer, engineer, and quasi-cartographer claims he’s not even a fan of the room.

“I can’t cook, for example,” Wolterink said. “And I’m not really into kitchens. I’m interested in the way we live, our daily environment, what surrounds us, the everyday stuff we normally don’t see or pay attention to.”

Wolterink became passionate about photography while attending a photography festival in Holland in 2001. (“June 6, 2001,” Wolterink recalled of the day that would change his life.) He went to art school and eventually quit his job and moved to Amsterdam, where he started to work full time as a photographer after his wife told him to “do what I wanted with my life or I wouldn’t be happy.”

It was pizza making tonight. I made one with the traditional toppings. salami, mozzarella, mushrooms, a few olives, and some basil. The other one was basil, goat cheese, prosciutto, and a little mozzarella to hold it all together. We ate ourselves into a pleasantly sleepy state. 

The dough recipe comes from Sophia Loren.

Last Friday, my son wanted to try some new seafood. So he picked out mussels. We had Moules-frites. They were pretty delicious. You can never go wrong with cooking up mussels in wine, butter, shallots, & parsley. My son deemed them to be pretty good.  

Last month I was in the village of Cheddar and I went to the place where they make cheddar. This is some of their cheese as it is aging. I got to watch some of the cheese-making process and then sample like five different kinds of cheddar. Then I ate a ton of it at lunch. 

My Mother in law makes some pretty tasty scones. She whipped these up on Sunday. Some for the visitors who ordered a cream tea, and a few for those of us lingering by the fireplace on a cold Sunday. We had these with tea and some ginger cake. 

Someone I know recently made a seriously delicious looking cake and she shared the recipe for the cake, so I felt called to make one as well. White cake, with lemon curd filling and white mountain frosting. It is so light and delicious. Lemon meringue in cake form. 

I realize that this is the kind of cake I’ve been missing for awhile.
