Oh auspicious day! Firstly I went to the bfi to be filmed talking about NEWTS for a television programme. Then I got my tax return filed a week early. Then I finally took the plunge and sent my book proposal to Unbound. Ooh, I am so excited. I do so hope that they like it.
I am getting superstitious and I had one hand on Vincent and Mary Price’s Treasury of Great Recipes as I pressed the “send” button and I toasted the proposal on its journey with an Ann Sheridan Cocktail. All my fingers and toes are crossed.
Here’s the scoop on the Ann Sheridan Cocktail:
2/3 oz Bacardi white rum
1/3 oz Orange Curacao liqueur
3/4 oz lime juice
1/3 oz Orange Curacao liqueur
3/4 oz lime juice
Pour the Bacardi rum, orange curacao and lime juice into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well, and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge, and serve. Yum!
The weirdest thing about getting my tax return in early is that I have an unexpected weekend at my disposal. Shall I invite one of my beaus over? What would Ann do?
Sounds yummy!!! I love that glassware!
Thanks Brenda – I only have two of those glasses and one has a crack in it so I always take that one myself if I have company! Can’t bear to get rid of it but know I should…
Best of luck with the book proposal and cheers! The Ann Sheridan cocktail sounds tasty. Happy weekend!
Thanks Lauren! Oh yes, it’s gooood – an excuse for you to feature an Ann Sheridan movie on your blog perhaps?!
Everything crossed for you. Is NEWTS an acronym or have you more in common with Ken Livingstone than I ever gave you credit for?
Thanks Sally! I was talking about a film from the early 1930s called “Romance in a Pond” all about newts. Such is the life of a film archivist!
that glass is gorgeous.
I have my fingers crossed for your book!
Thanks Yinzerella – I’ll celebrate with hotdogs and champagne if they take it!
