Some days, we had good reasons why we picked a certain cocktail or perhaps could offer a story behind our choice. But other days, we don’t remember how or why we picked the cocktail.
Please forgive us.
During our stay at home, it was often hard to even remember what day of the week it was. The rationale for Day 3’s concoction was the strawberries Jeremy bought on Day 2 were quickly spoiling. The most memorable thing about this cocktail was that it accompanied what became weekly Sunday evening Zooms with Andy’s son Zak and his girlfriend Alice in D.C. and Zak’s mother across town here in Dallas.
For people with previous disdain for FaceTime (or any video conferencing for that matter), we have found Zoom a fun way to keep connected with family and friends. We certainly used them a lot more often than we did during “normal” times.
