adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

Somehow I found myself having not the best of evenings, some professional frustrations just caught up with me, feeling a bit homesick, and the rest is too personal to blog about. Sigh.
What’s an easy way to cure that? A dessert and a fabulous drink. And with Derby on the mind, as well as the south…without further ado…
CLASSIC MINT JULEP
4 sprigs fresh mint
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon super duper fine sugar
2 ounces bourbon
INSTRUCTIONS
Muddle 3 mint sprigs, the water, and the sugar in a highball or collins glass or a silver julep cup.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, and pour in the bourbon.
Garnish with the remaining mint sprig.
Side note: Can we have a Derby party - anyone??
