I am terribly sorry. Since I do not have a job, I have literally nothing interesting to tell you about. Unless you consider the fact that I finished all two seasons of Party Down in one day. I mean, I find it interesting. I consider it a serious personal accomplishment. I consider all of the television shows that I’ve made my way through in the last few weeks of unemployment to be an achievement. I am also very aware of how depressing that statement is. That’s where The Bee Sting comes in. You say potato, I say vodka. The base of this cocktail is a jalapeño-infused vodka and is mixed with honey simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and club soda. It’s a great drink for when you’re looking to try something exotic and out of the ordinary.
