Of Cocktails and Videos

Mine and Alie's cocktail demonstration at the LA Times Food & Wine celebration was a hit, and despite the sweltering heat (that's mid 80's, which is "sweltering" when you're from California), we had a great turn out for our demo, and an even greater turn out when we started passing out samples (natch). I had such a great time, and am SO relieved I'm not someone who cowers when addressing crowds.

The launch of our cocktail series for Food2.com premieres this Monday, September 13th, with the Peanut Butter & Jealous (although I've seen the video floating around the internets, for those looking for a sneak peek). Alie and I will be doing press all week, and bright and early on Monday morning (that's 4:45 am, which is early when you're from ANYWHERE) we will be filming a segment for the KTLA morning news. I'm thinking of cutting out the middle man and just mainlining some coffee that morning.

Deets to come, as well as ever-important posts about stuff other than the videos, but in the meantime...here's a video! Turns out one of my bloggy crushes, one miss Caroline on Crack (who is the THE. BLOGGER. when it comes to the Los Angeles and beyond cocktail world) was in the audience during our demonstration on Sunday. She filmed us making our Umami Up, and posted it for all to see. Yay!

She also wrote about our demo here.

Hope you're all well and happy! More to come, but for now, I have a sick fiancé to take care of.
