St. Nick likes me

What did St. Nick treat you to today? I guess I was a good girl this year because St. Nick gifted to me this sweet lil' number...

White Lady

Everyone has family traditions for the holidays. Those of us that are lucky enough to have unique family situations have the opportunity to celebrate holidays many times over... it's during one of my favorite holidays each year that family comes together to enjoy these. Delicious. Highly recommended. Currently craving a White Lady...

  • 4 parts dry gin such as Martin Miller's or Beefeater (2 ounces)
  • 1 part Cointreau (1/2 ounce)
  • 1 part fresh lemon juice (1/2 ounce)

  • Shake in ice and serve.

We typically enjoy the version that also has an egg white incorporated... give it a try, you will not be disappointed! Let me know how it goes; and if this drink gets added to your family tradition.

Time to Celebrate!


Division Street Watch Co., Chicago’s only vintage watch shop, is celebrating one year of business on September 6th, 2011. Located at 2017 West Division Street, in the heart of Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood, Division Street Watch Co. boasts a vast collection of vintage Swiss made watches. Vintage Rolexes, Omegas, Longines’, Gallets, and Breitlings are beautifully displayed. All collections carried at Division Street Watch Co. were hand crafted in the late 1940’s extending into the early 1970’s, the golden age of watch making. Each piece is truly unique.

We're meeting with the hotel's chefs in two weeks to discuss cocktails, appetizers, meals and cake! After we were asked for our opinions on the cake's look, I quickly realized we had too many ideas. Everyday I think of something else that might be the perfect one... today I saw the one above and added it to the list. Not sure about the purple, but LOVE the textures.



Stay tuned - you're in for a treat!
