Research for the latest chapter of Happiness: decided that Present Mic's favorite drink is the Million Dollar cocktail. Don't forget the egg white or the pineapple wedge. So fluffy!

P. S. Every time a chapter features a new minor character that person becomes my latest precious baby

Melissa's Sidecar

The Ritz Hotel in Paris, France, claims the Sidecar as their cocktail, saying it was created around the end of World War I.

Once in a great while, I try to surprise my husband by making a new cocktail since he is the resident bartender. I found this one when looking for classic cocktails. It’s citrusy and sweet with the brandy but has plenty of kick.

Another Midjourney test I was doing over the weekend was could it create some David Shrigley-esque paintings?

I started with asking about general things, but when I asked it to include typography and include emotions - like saddy avocado, angry vegetables and classic cocktails did it get to a weird Shrigley world. The veggies with attitude feel a lot like the Mr. Men books by Roger Hargreaves.

The nonsense letters for the cocktail paintings are very fun - I imagine it for the last set of 4 posters like:

Duke & Dame Salted Caramel Whiskey

When asked at a dinner party what flavor whiskey he would create if given a chance, Chima Burey, co-founder of Duke & Dame, responded with a whiskey that tastes like Sugar Daddy candy or Werther's Original caramels.
