a treatise on the use of umbrellas as garnish



from faraway california, i received this photo from my sister-in-law and friend corby. the luscious face in the background is my daughter, beanie. and i think the umbrellas are completely cute. i don't know what's in the "eastertini" but i suspect it's tequila since that's corby's liquor of choice.

so, the umbrellas. i seriously think in the day and age of "mad men" they need to make a comeback as a drink garnish. of course not for the mad men themselves, but for their furious women! with a little valium on the side.

not much of a treatise, and i think i might have been swayed by all sorts of love and gushiness, but my next drink will feature an umbrella.

p.s. yes, beanie is of drinking age.
