It’s recently come to my attention that I have little dog energy. You know when you go to a dog park and you see a teacup chihuahua absolutely terrorizing a German Shepherd? It’s obvious the chihuahua has absolutely zero self-awareness about their relative size but they have convinced themselves that they are the biggest dog…

Scrooge Sparkler
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 21 – Scrooge Sparkler. I’ve named this sparkling cocktail after the Dickensian miser because it seems like the kind of upmarket Ebenezer would make and keep all to himself.
