Hi Friends!!

You may have noticed that after posting the good news about my husband on Monday, stating that he had been discharged on Sunday, that he was doing well, etc and that I would be easing back into my daily routine, that I haven’t. The reason being, a few hours after posting that news, I had to call 911 and my husband was rushed back to the hospital and readmitted. He had an “episode” of a full blown stroke like symptoms, however, by the time rescue got him to the ER, the symptoms subsided and were gone. After multiple tests, all coming back negative, the conclusion was that his anti seizure medication was not at a therapeutic blood level. It has been adjusted and he was, once again, discharged yesterday hopefully for good this time. Again, I want to thank each and everyone of you for your prayers, concern, caring, and comforting words. It has meant more than you will ever know!!!!

SEE MIX DRINK

by BRIAN D. MURPHY

SYNOPSIS:

Have you tried mixing a Mojito? What about a Rusty Nail? Or a Cosmopolitan? With SEE MIX DRINK by Brian D. Murphy, the first-ever cocktail book to offer instruction through info-graphics, making the drinks you love at home is as easy as, well, See, Mix, Drink.
This unique, illustrated guide graphically demonstrates how to make 100 of today’s most popular cocktails. For each drink, color-coded ingredients are displayed in a line drawing of the appropriate glassware, alongside a pie chart that spells out the drink’s composition by volume for intuitive mixing. No other cocktail book is this easy or fun. Instantly understandable 1-2-3 steps show exactly how each drink is prepared, and anecdotes, pronunciation guides, and photographs of the finished drinks will turn newbie bartenders into instant mixologists.
