I really do want to make clear up front that sometimes we invite Tim over for dinner and we don't feed him weird cake or awful beverages. But sometimes we do, and when we do, we like to record the results. My friend Jane posted a recipe for "Beef Fizz" on her Facebook page so of course we had to run to the store and get the many, many ingredients. Condensed beef broth and ginger ale and lemon juice, the holy trinity of things one sort of considers sometimes when mixing drinks. Please enjoy quick takes on vacation, eating al fresco and other bits of flotsam before we share Beef Fizz with you. Salut!
