As I mentioned yesterday, it's a grey, rainy week here in New York, which makes me want to just curl up on the couch with my cats and a great book (or, if I'm being honest, a great magazine, too). Some of my other favorite rainy weather activities include:
- Watching reality TV marathons, like Project Runway, The Real Housewives of NYC, and Top Chef
- Cooking a big batch of chilli and baking a pan of cornbread (which I did yesterday)
- Writing those emails I owe
- Long phone calls with friends and family I haven't seen in awhile
- Giving myself a pedicure and a homemade facial
- Long naps and other bed-related activities
- Boozin'
To that last point, I found a drink called April Rain Cocktail, which is pretty appropriate for these last couple of rainy April days, don't you think? Here's the recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 oz vodka
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz dry vermouth
- lime peel for garnish
PREPARATION:
- Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with the lime peel.
