"A LITTLE WINE....."

My mother used to say, "Every drunk quotes St. Paul."

I love this cartoon from The New Yorker which, of course, is a reaction to the medical marijuana stores in Colorado.

My father did the grocery shopping for my grandmother when she could no longer see. She would recite her list and always tell him to get her "a bottle of my medicine". One time she asked me to get her bottle of medicine from her pantry. I asked her what it looked like and she said that it was in a brown paper bag. Even though I was a kid I recognized the paper bag from Len's which contained a pint of whiskey. I learned how to make a Hot Toddy! (CLICK HERE to see recipe)
