Take it away, Lydia!

Good Morning Darlings!
Secrets are the most fun. Well, when they are happy secrets. Like birthday surprises, raindrops on roses and brown paper packages tied up with string. Some of my favorite things!
My friends at Black Tie Barbecue keep the most fun secrets ever!
Wanna hear a secret?

Good Morning Darlings!
Conversation last night at our house:
Me: “Honey, we should invite Rick & Denise over on Monday for the Chinese New Year. We can drink the sake they brought us in the gorgeous sake set they gifted us with and I can make pad thai.”
Eric: Crickets – then laughter. “Honey, sake is Japanese and pad thai, is, well, Thai.”
Me: “Um…”
I really should get out more.
Thank goodness for my friend Sofia, in NYC. She knows how to celebrate Chinese New Year. She sent me wonderful recipes for the most fun cocktails for your Chinese New Year.
Thanks, Sofia!

Good Morning Darlings!
I just got this notice from my sweet friend Marsha and cannot wait to go! Usually I am very lazy about reading press releases (okay, about everything…)but this totally caught my eye.
Oysters. Beer. The Four Seasons, y’all. If you wear a collar and don’t show up in flip flops, I bet they will serve you.
I’m going. Eric does not share my love of oysters. Who’s going with me?
Marsha, I need the deets!

Good Morning Darlings!
OMG – it is Golden Globes Day! My Superbowl!
This is so much better than the Academy Awards because all the celebs are drinking it up and you never know what they will say. It’s my favorite!
It’s also bestie Holly’s birthday, so Eric, besties John & Holly and I will be eating copious amounts of lasagne, garlic bread, bacon petit fours made by my friend Brandon at Bear Maker Bakery (bacon petit fours y’all!!) and a layer lemon cake, all washed down with champagne, cocktails and Whopper candies. Then we will scream at the television and critique all the dresses. I am SO excited. God bless Eric, who I am sure will eat with us and then excuse himself to play video UNO or watch a Star Trek episode or four.
While I am getting ready, I am letting my buddy, Katie, in NYC, take the wheel and whip up some awesome cocktails for your viewing pleasure.
How do you celebrate the Golden Globes?
Take it away, Katie!
