I envy them. I always thought liqueur “ambassadors” had cush jobs. Show up at events and bars and teach people about something you love, all while drinking. The Glenlivet Ambassador, Rick Edwards, is no exception. Ya see, since 2003 Edwards has been a “Master of Scotch” after traveling all over Scotland in his quest to learn more about Scotch Whisky.
Scotch lover rejoice! Join him at Bar Chloe on Wednesday, December 3rd from 7-8pm and enjoy neat pours of 12-year old, 16-year old Nadurra, 18-year old, and Archive 21-year old Glenlivet. All for only . A pretty good deal when you consider the Archive alone is a 0 bottle of Scotch. For reservations email info@barchloe.com
Today is Anna’s last day in DC. And then I go back to having my apartment all to myself…anyways. When we were in Dupont Circle last Monday she mentioned wanting to try out Hank’s Oyster Bar. I had brunch at Hank’s 3 years ago and had good memories of the food, and was happy to give it another try.
Today Anna and I met up with Wendy and Ashley for brunch. The place was surprisingly empty. While we looked at our menus, our host brought us a plate of Gold Fish: freaking cute! Wendy and I decided to get mimosas, Anna ordered a Bloody Mary, and Ashley had a Diet Coke. (I apologize for the quality of the pictures: the lighting wasn’t coordinating and I could not take multiple pictures because my camera’s battery was dying.)

Amherst and Northampton are great places to visit in the summer. Why, do you ask? There are no crowds. You don’t have to drive around endlessly looking for parking (especially in Northampton), and you can walk right into a restaurant and be served! Perhaps the only thing that isn’t great is the lack of good people-watching. But it’s good enough in my book.
It’s been a while since I last walked up and down the streets of Amherst. I saw some old hang-outs and found a new, cool place to eat with a funky name:
<s…Do you know those candy bars that you take on your backpack for a day out? You know the ones I’m talking about, the kind that are individual wraped and have the bottom covered in chocolate. The ones that almost feel like eating a candy bar, but you don’t mind eating them because you convince yourself that it’s cereal so it’s healthy… At least that’s what I do anyway…
But some times you take the bar with you, forget about the “healthiness” of it and eat a real candy bar, or an ice cream or that piece of cake your aunt made or whatever and the poor bar comes back home a little bit mistreated from the bottom of the bag where it sat the all day. So the next time you go out and decide to take a bar you take a “new” one and think that you’ll eat that wrinkled skashed one when you’re at home. Obviously you never do beacuse you just made a batch of cookies or that ice cream you have in the freezer is more appealing.
