Not written on the wind - cheers!

Some people like to have a drink now and then - why not do it in style?

And before you get annoyed: 

I am okay with a few drinks in nice company - getting ratted is disgraceful and disgusting. I am aware that alcoholism is a disease - and I am not advertising drinking heavily.

So after stating that I will go on with this post:

 There is a book which contains not only many great recipes for serveral cocktails but also wonderful pictures from Hollywood classics (of course showing people having or fixing a drink) - and also short summary's of the films and some quotes from it:

HOLLYWOOD COCKTAILS by Tobias Steed and Ben Reed.

 It's a really beautiful book - and though of course the recipes for the most part do: not all the cocktails described in it contain alcohol.

And because some people have trouble to decide at the right point when they had enough to avoid a headache in the morning -

~ Would you still think this is a funny picture when Sean Connery would be of his today's age? ~

-  there is another book I'd like to recommend:

 HOW TO CURE A HANGOVER by Andrew Irving

It contains some really nice recipes and information about alcohol - and also some beautiful (hangover-) pictures from classic films - no summaries of them here - but a few very nice quotes from several persons of diverse "genres".

Anyway:

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH ALCOHOL.

 Thank you all for listening!

Yours

Irene
