What I’m Drinking: The Americano | A.J. Rathbun
http://www.ajrathbun.com/blog/2015/05/what-im-drinking-the-americano
May 15, 2015. What I’m Drinking: The Americano. Friends, the weather is heating up. The ol’ Mercury is rising. The sunshine is taking over its annual spot as the meteorological top dog.

Since 1860, when Gaspare Campari served it at his bar, calling it the Milano-Torino in honor of Campari. 2 ounces sweet vermouth.

Be Happy Crazy Heart. One woman's quest to live life head-first. Sunday, October 9, 2011. We have learned much about our little homestead in the past several months. We moved into the house last October, so we have now experienced the yard, rosebushes, fruit trees, grape arbor, and vine maples in their various states across a year. We know now that 1) Grapes are nearly impossible to over-prune (I was sure. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Here's me in my Leavenworth hoodie and a tutu. 'Nough said.
