By the way, I didn't do shit today either.

Yesterday my friends introduced me to this drink, or their "House Drink", and I have to say: Yum. And fancy. And surprising, because I'm not really a vermouth fan.

We had a nice day yesterday. Long walk by the water, crunchy fall leaves and fleece jackets, Manhattans on the porch. I almost ruined it at one point when I almost burst into tears while having a discussion with a girlfriend about how I think there must be something wrong with me because I don't want to have kids. But then her one-year-old did something hilarious and I was distracted, and also sweet liquor eases the pain. And so does homemade gnocchi.
