    Have you seen the Omnivore's Hundred?  It's an interesting food-blog post setting out the list of 100 things that every "good omnivore" really should try at some point in their lives.  (I've tried 79 of them.) Now for the clever part:  Darcy over at the Art of Drink has come up with the "Imbiber's 100" …

    A few weeks ago, the good folks at Hiram Walker sent me a bottle of their seasonal Gingerbread Liqueur, and asked me to come up with a recipe showcasing the spirit.  They're asking cocktail bloggers to compete for the best cocktail recipe — and it's flattering to be among such august company. The gingerbread liqueur…

    The Mixology Monday theme this month is "Made From Scratch" — Doug over at Pegu Blog is inviting participants to come up with drinks which include ingredients that they've made themselves.
