Can I fix you a drink?

Mon amie,

As you may or may not have heard, I've suffered from a kitchen disaster — again. Our oven is on the fritz. And, of course, this happened the very week we needed to replace our furnace. A new oven is not in our near future. We are doing just fine with the stove top, a George Forman, a toaster oven, microwave, and crockpot (oh, and restaurants.)

So, I'm offering my services as a mixologist/sommelier. I will make a themed cocktail for the gathering. I will also select two wines, one red and one white, to sample with our meal.

Since I DO want to purchase a new oven someday,  I can't afford to keep the liquor flowing all night. But, I will provide enough for everyone to enjoy a health pour.

What will you bring? Please do share!

Cheers,
Lori
