isozymescab-cat's miserable skin problems are worse -- he's licked all the fur off his tail except for a tiny tuft on the tip of it. it is both hilarious and tragic.
he is getting a SPRAY and a LIQUID MEDICINE and wearing a CONE and we SHAVED HIS BACK and he hates all four of these things with an attitude of long-suffering martyrdom. i can currently hear him trying to get into our kitchen cabinets.
marie kondo inspired me to go through the Bin Of Stuff that's been sitting largely untouched next to the television for well over a year. So far I have found, among other things: nail polish remover, boot polish, a ball of tangled and broken headphones about a foot across, the good fabric scissors, a vibrator, two chocolate bars, assorted loose cans of cat food, and a hammer.
going to make ginger-lemon simple syrup for old fashioneds this afternoon. simple syrup is super easy to make, fyi: one cup sugar, 3/4 cups water, and big chunks of whatever aromatics you want to add. bring it to a boil, simmer 10-15 minutes, and then leave it to cool down on its own for an hour. strain out the spices and you're done! now you too can make Fancy Drinks.

I don't usually think of rosemary as being a 'sweet' flavor, but that does sound intriguing...
