You Can't Always Get What You Want

Posted by Nerdyy

Watching the TV adaptation of Big Little Lies, I was (as always) struck by how badly visuals are able to keep plot twists a secret (I was easily able to pick out the two more interesting plot twists well before the halfway mark of the series!). While I haven't read the book, I am pretty sure that words are a much better vehicle at keeping a mystery; primarily because it is easy to wrap plot twists and hide them around nuanced words and sentences.

However, the series did have a kick ass soundtrack; and this song that ended the series is a beautifully arranged version of a timeless Stones classic (and a great message for all of us!).


and you can't always get what you want
you can't always get what you want
but if you try sometime
you might find
you get what you need
you get what you need.

Lemons, Lemonade, or ... Aviation?

Posted by Nerdyy

Life has a way of handing us lemons - sometimes very bitter and very tart ones! And we humans have a way of holding onto those memories that bring us back to these lemons. The old saying of course is make lemonade but that is so blase (yes there should be an accent aigu there, but I have no idea how to do it).

So, take the lemon, squeeze out some lemon juice, mix up some gin, creme de violette and maraschino cherry liqueur, add a cherry and a lemon peel to garnish and VOILA you have a stunningly beautiful creation aka Aviation! Enjoy it while soaking up the Summer sunshine :D

Recipe:

2 oz Gin
1/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1/2 oz fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 oz Creme de Violette
Cherry (optional)
Lemon Peel Garnish


And what a stunningly beautiful color it is!

CHEERS :D
