Moving into a new house meaning making it your own - something we did in spades by converting the lovely built in bookcases into an even lovelier bar. Now that we're a bit more settled, we've been playing bartender. We've also been infusing alcohol (mostly vodka) with anything we can get our hands on. Just like cooking, it seems fun to keep track of it all.
