... which is Latin for: Remember that you will die.

I think this is my newest favorite truism. One could argue that it's a tad dark and morbid - but hey. Such is life too, no?


Royal Crypt, Vienna, Austria

In the very least it's an ever-present reminder of our mortality - and that because of that, we should never waste a single breath on something we don't enjoy. Long live Epicurus!

So in that spirit (pun intended), here's a recipe for my new favorite martini (yes - which I'm sipping right now):

2 parts Stoli Blueberry
2 parts Organic Lemonade
2 parts Cranberry Juice

Shake it up with some ice, and if you have sugar and some lime handy, rim the glass and throw in a twist.

Skol!

Mmmmm. I couldn't think of anything to make with the Blueberry Stoli - now I'll have to try it!

Try it!

But be *careful*. I had only two of those little concoctions last night, passed out at 9pm, and awoke today feeling rather groggy.

Ya just can't taste the alcohol in vodka ...
