I’M STRESSIN’ OVER THIS GAME.
previous recipes: lemonade, lemon cookies, lemon chicken, and strawberry lemonade, candied lemon slices
I need a drink, so I made this, The Roger Collins. It’s like a Tom Collins, except I named it after everyone’s favorite Robert Redford-lookalike English teacher-slash-student newspaper advisor from Sweet Valley High.
Ingredients
• 1 lemon
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 oz Hendrick’s gin
• ice
• club soda
Juice one lemon and strain the seeds and pulp. Mix the strained lemon juice with sugar and gin; pour over ice in a rocks glass (I know a collins glass would be more appropriate but I don’t have any? Weird. TIME TO SHOP!). Top with club soda and clutch in your white-knuckled game seven hand.
lemons used: 1; lemons remaining: 1
EDIT: OH SWEET RELIEF
Taylor looks way too calm for someone who is actually watching this game! ^_^
He was in a stress-induced fugue state. We don’t even have cable hooked up in the living room, we have to listen to the game on the radio, which is WAY WORSE.
That sounds AWFUL! I bet it’s insane in Vancouver now!
It’s totally nerve-wracking!
I was actually out walking the dogs when we won, and it was totally silent and then my whole neighborhood suddenly erupted. Dougal was pooping in front of a house and the women who live there all ran out on the porch screaming and I was like DID WE WIN? DID WE WIN???? and they were like YEAH!! and then I started screaming too.
