I will have to try it. Reading your Algonquin history involving Dorothy Parker I must share with you one of my favorite Parkerisms: "As she looked at him critically she knew that she was going to love him forever - all that night" Wow!! I was checking out your site for the Algonquin recipe for their lovely Hot Toddy, then couldn’t resist looking at the recipe for “The Algonquin”. I will have to try it. Reading your Algonquin history involving Dorothy Parker I must share with you one of my favorite Parkerisms:

“As she looked at him critically
she knew that she was going
to love him forever –
all that night”

Wow!!

It started with the movie "The Vicious Circle." What an interesting person she must have been to know, and what a perfect era for her. My signiture line on some of the sites I frequent is one of hers; "A little bad taste is like a nice dash of paprika." She was all that, naughty and nice!

And if the only connection is your affinity for Dorothy Parker? So be it. Perhaps we can think of her as the nice brandied cherry at the bottom of our glass! Anyway, I found you through TasteSpotting and am writing to personally invite you to visit my new site (below), where I publish all of the food photos that aren't accepted at TS. It’s a lot of fun! I hope you will swing by.
