After a week spent wandering the halls of Tales of the Cocktail in July 2008, sipping many finely stirred and shaken libations; I said to myself, “These special cocktails need to be shared with the world.” So I bring you Cocktail Hour, a finer way to celebrate the end of the day; with these recipes. They have either been created specifically for Tales of the Cocktail, or re-designed for a new approach on the traditional version by some of the top Mixologists in the world. Many are being presented to the public here for the first time. Enjoy!
This is a non-alcoholic cocktail designed for expectant moms, designated drivers, and those who wish a fine cocktail; but without the kick.

October 1st is World Vegetarian Day
Filed under: Vegetarian/Vegan
I have always been an omnivore, happily eating all manner of meat, dairy, grain and veg. I’m one of those people who, if deprived of animal protein for several days, will start to get physically shaky and off balance until a small piece of turkey or a couple of meatballs have been consumed. However, I can and often do go a day or two without eating meat, mostly because there are so many other delicious foods in the world crying out to be eaten and I just can’t fit them all in single day.
This Wednesday, October 1st is World Vegetarian Day and on that day, I’ll intentionally be preparing a series of meatless meals for my little household, in order to participate in the effort. October is Vegetarian Awareness Month, during which folks around the country will be holding potlucks, parties, discussion groups and other activities to raise the profile of vegetarian meals.

Kitchen gadgets from LEGO
Filed under: Food Gadgets
 in suburban Philadelphia. He had been wanting to get out there ever since they opened a LEGO store in the mall earlier this month and we finally had a free afternoon in which to make the trip. </p>
<p>It was everything a LEGO store should be, with plenty of amazing models of towns, vehicles and many of the vessels from the Star Wars movies. There were also a number of kitchen-related goods, which delighted me to no end. In addition to the <a target=)
timer you see above (which I did end up buying), you can get LEGO salt and pepper shakers, baking pans, ice cube trays and popsicle molds. They’d make great gifts for cooking-inclined LEGO fans! Read more »

Walgreens Premium Ice Cream
Drug store ice cream is one of those American institutions that seems to be dying off as the generations go by. I remember as a kid peering through the glass ice cream case at the local Thrifty’s Drug, and begging my mom to buy me a scoop.
At Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego, there’s a Long’s Drugs that has a soda and ice cream counter, complete with bar stools and a soda jerk.

McDonald’s and Gays
Good as You writes about McDonald’s coming under fire (what tiny little fire it might be) from the American Family Association, because the company took action that made it appear as if they support gay rights…
…Mickey D’s has become the latest American corporation to suffer at the baselessly extremist, rabidly anti-gay hands of Don Wildmon Inc. The McNugget company’s “sin”? The refused to shun Vice President of Communications Richard Ellis for his decision to serve on the Board of Directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).
