my life with bartender: November 2010
http://mylifewithbartender.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. What remains of our first month. We woke with a late start on Thanksgiving morning. Minds foggy with hangovers. Bodies weary from the odd hours we keep these days. The bloody mary morning started without us. Seems we weren't missed, however, as the bloody mary. Mix was flowing well before we arrived and there was only a gallon or so left of the six (or so) gallons of mix PerryA had whipped up. That's one concoction down. Up until the afternoon of, we couldn't say until what tim...

Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Dear Bar Owner,. I woke to a quiet house save the television. bumbled around our home. acknowledged the strangeness of leaving lights on and prepping for the day without care of the sounds such kitchen fumbles made. usually, while you sleep through my morning routine, there's no illumination. unmatched socks and spots of bread mold have been the results of such timid morning practices. not so today. I truly hope it's all that you want. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). They buy a bar.

Saturday, May 21, 2011. Could we be just days away from a commitment letter from the bank? We could have a commitment within days. then the appraisal. hopefully it'll match near to what they're asking. This weekend, we taste test drink recipes. perry texts me today to see what we need. glasses/cups. i'll be taking photos. that will be fun. tipsy fun, no doubt. Sunday, May 15, 2011.

my life with bartender: January 2011
http://mylifewithbartender.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. A good guide to a cool martini. I meant to share this recipe with you just after we opened the bar and were researching cocktails. We have a copy of the Diffords Guide. And when PerryA and I seek a spirited muse, she tosses this honkin' book my way. I flip through the pages at random and dart a finger at the ingredients list of an unsuspecting drink recipe. If the bar stocks the goods, she gets mixing. One night, long long ago ( in November. Wednesday, January 12, 2011. He's ...

Friday, July 29, 2011. Dear Bar Owner,. You are not one to snuggle. although a grand idea, i don't allow for this avoidance. get up. this is the moment you've worked towards. for a decade. let's jump in. The attorneys wonder about the name of the llc. you explain that it references our pup. the closing attorney says that anyone who names something after their pet is good in her book. talk of our dogs is filler between the itemized list. five pages long. She's not one to say such admissions. all of us...

my life with bartender: letter eighteen
http://mylifewithbartender.blogspot.com/2011/07/letter-eighteen.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Four days from now, we'll be in the thick of the planning. Tearing down a ceiling. Tearing up a carpet. Laying down wooden flooring. It's going to be a big, dirty job. And, when all is in place and dusted off, we will have a bar. A bar! Lasted 24 hours. Almost exactly. Now, I'm simply worried. Fret about the negative repercussions. See the week ahead of you not really including my help. I have to wonder now, if all my musings about my role were just a fantasy. Girl walks into a bar.

Thursday, March 17, 2011. On Monday, you returned from Mattapoisett. So much marked off on your List. Most regarding the boat. Her launch is a week away and your joy rests just below the few lines left to check off. Days away from the waves. Your only stress release. That moment was when it first felt REAL. That was also the moment I scribbled down the soup's recipe. Wanting to seal it in mind forever. The soup that came together on a whim. The soup that we nibbled at pensively while discussing t...We se...
