Honey gimlets, and other objects of my obsessions
Fairly often, things wiggle their way into my life and hang around for a while. Sometimes it’s a craving that won’t quit, or an activity that becomes a routine, or an idea or flavor or experience I become a little fixated on. I go through phases with foods I want to eat all the time, I get addicted to TV shows, I listen to albums non-stop, I wear certain outfits whenever they’re clean, and there’s usually some cocktail or other that I’m ordering. These things stick around for a while until something – a change in the weather, a random craving, or a need for change – steers me elsewhere.
And right now, it’s this humble little honey gimlet.
