yesterday I started a new job and I was extremely tired afterward, but I wanted to celebrate with R. this achievement and so I asked him out for a whiskey sour in our favorite place.
as soon as we entered the bar, my favorite song by Radiohead started playing and it felt so wholesome I thought it was a movie scene.
R. was holding my hand, he said he is really proud of me. I started crying like a baby just there. couldn't hold it inside anymore. he is my chosen family.
honestly?
I think I am proud of myself too for the first time.
it's not the achievement itself, it is that I have never given up and I am brave and fearless to a scary extent.
life wasn't kind to me, but sometimes you can make beautiful things out of rage.
Album: Blood Orange Artist: Negro Swan Genre: #RnB #Soul ℹ️About The Album : Negro Swan is the fourth studio album by Blood Orange, an alias of British musician Dev Hynes. It was released on 24 August 2018 by Domino. Hynes described the album as "an exploration into my own and many types of black depression, an honest look at the corners of black existence, and the ongoing anxieties of queer/people of color. A reach back into childhood and modern traumas, and the things we do to get through it all. The underlying thread through each piece on the album is the idea of hope, and the lights we can try to turn on within ourselves with a hopefully positive outcome of helping others out of their darkness." 💭Thoughts : The past couple of weeks have turned me on my head in ways I don’t care to admit yet this album catches me dead in my tracks. Hynes is special, he makes the silence sing, the lyrics ebb and flow, seemingly contained yet conspicuous. If you’re not getting what I’m saying, give this album a listen (or the favourite tracks at least) and maybe it becomes the thing you needed all along. 🍸Goes Best With : Please get yourself a Ward Eight Cocktail, since you have no idea what it is let me describe it for you (technical SpruceEats will but you’re reading it here). It is a legend in the cocktail world, the Ward Eight is an enhanced whiskey sour. Choose bourbon or rye whiskey, then add equal pours of orange and lemon juices and just a dash of grenadine for sweetness to recreate this 19th-century drink.

The first mention of the #WhiskeySour was in 1862 from The Bartenders Guide by Jerry Thomas. However, it’s likely that people were drinking whiskey sours long before this. Like so many spirits and cocktails, we can thank sailors for this delicious cocktail.
Traveling by sea was difficult in the 1800s. It was particularly difficult to find clean, fresh water on long voyages, making whiskey, rum and other spirits very popular with sailors. In addition to the lack of clean water, many sailors suffered from scurvy, a potentially fatal disease that was caused, in part, by a lack of vitamin C.
Sailors would take huge amounts of lemons, limes and oranges on voyages. They would also bring alcohol, and the best alcohol was kept at room temperature, like whiskey and bourbon.
The whiskey sour was a perfect combination of citrus, to combat scurvy, and whiskey to quench the sailor’s thirst.
For years whiskey sours were enjoyed by sailors on the sea. Once it finally made it to the shores of the United States, its popularity continued. Bartenders today often add egg white to create the classic foam texture. Many variations have also been created over the years, the most famous of which is the New York Sour. The New York Sour is the classic whiskey sour, with a splash of red wine on top.
Miserably failed dry January because I went to the movie theater with my friend T. and the movie was so bad that we ended up craving a deepness and a drink.
Gladly the cinema we went to is really close to my favorite cocktails bar and we opted to got there.
I had the pleasure to break my soberness with one of the best whiskey sours I have ever had, and I am also definitely glad to have spent hours blabbing about aliens, the generational gap, artificial intelligence, and human relationships.
The only downside is that we ended up smelling like ashtrays so intensely it made me gag, and I am a smoker.
Sometimes I don't get this Berlin thing of smoking inside, but some other days I am incredibly grateful for it.
На чиле и расслабоне. Виски сауэр был, кстати так себе. Хоть и с яичным белком. В Риге с яйцом, уже фиг найдёшь. Везде добавляют гороховую пенку. Это чувствуется, но бывают и вкусные варианты. Например у ресторане JOHN. А с яйцом многие рыбой пахнут, потому что кур рыбой кормят. Какие ваши любимые коктейли?
The key to an excellent whiskey sour? Getting the balance just right. This whiskey sour recipe has all the right proportions of bright, bracing lemon juice; warming Whiskey; and sweet simple syrup to deliver a refreshing cocktail!
Serve on the rocks with an orange wheel and a Maraschino cherry arranged neatly on a drink spear (optional but recommended!) and enjoy. Cheers!
Album: Simulation Theory Artist: Muse Genre: #ElectronicRock #PopRock #SynthRock ℹ️About The Album: Simulation Theory is the eighth studio album by English rock band Muse. It was released on 9 November 2018 through Warner Bros. Records and Helium-3. Muse co-produced the album with Rich Costey, Mike Elizondo, Shellback, and Timbaland. 💭Thoughts : This album was supposed to be an easy pick and post, but when I went in and heard the album, I was taken aback with the phenomenal neo future vibe which is still fresh 5 years after it was released. 🍸Goes Best With : This one requires a drink that will rock your senses but only so that you are still in control (or so you think) I’ll recommend a whiskey sour.

To all the blogs I've had before (that I can remember):
A blog where I posted photos (taken with a flip phone) of found grocery lists, which didn't last because I didn't find enough grocery lists
A blog where I took a flip phone photo of the chalk board in the men's room at work every morning and posted it (the whole premise was that, given a chalkboard, men will always draw dicks)
A blog where I posted more flip phone photos (this was all pre-smartphone, okay?) of wild recipes from the 40s-70s found in my vintage cookbook collection
A fitspo blog, hilariously out of character and fairly short-lived
A blog that was just cool pictures reblogged from other people's tumblrs
A secondary blog of cool pictures reblogged from other people's tumblrs after some guy got real weird with me on the first one
A super sad-sack blog of old movie clips and melancholy pictures I started after I got my heart extremely broken, which just had its 12 year anniversary, apparently (cheers.)
Anyway, apologies to whoever has the real, non-hyphened whiskeysoured tumblr, but that was my [redacted] handle like 25 years ago and I couldn't think of anything new because my brain is very old now, possibly on its last legs, honestly.
