Hot Toddy Break

Well, I guess I needed a lil’ Winter break.
In January I still made and ate some freakin’ phenomenal food.
I still re-purposed and hawked some killer vintage clothing.
But I didn’t feel like rushing to photograph everything.
Document EVERYTHING.
Having an online “journal” can be the most creative fun, ever, right?
But when it begins to feel too premeditated, some of the creativity is stifled. At that point it begins to feel disingenuous.
Reclaimed isn’t about getting Superbowl party appetizers nailed down and photographed months in advance so I can bust them out on Pinterest in plenty of time to get plenty of clicks.
Why not? If it increases my audience, expands my reach?
The only Superbowl party I will be having is a party of 3, featuring my man and my sleepy dog. And two days before, I am still not sure about the appetizers. Something on sale when I venture into the crowded grocery store tomorrow? Yup. Something cheesy? Hell ya.

But that’s as far as I’ve gotten. And in the meantime I’ll continue slurping down a hot toddy or two.
In Central Florida we don’t get ice and snow, of course. But it has been gray, windy, with countless ne’er-do-wells coughing their flu-ridden germs in my general direction.
My Easy Hot Toddy will soothe you, with or without the shot o’ bourbon included.
Make it.
And let me know how this Winter is treating ya.
