The Lost Year

Description

2020...A year that will live in infamy. For our family, it was a year we stopped down, smelled the roses, cleaned out our closets, learned to bake banana bread, and in my case, I began a ritual that lasted for 52 weeks called #ThrowItBackThursday. What started as a fun way to signify that we survived another week of pandemic lockdown, turned into a humorous discovery and exploration of cocktails from around the world. Each cocktail became an expression of the insanity and challenges we all faced while trapped with kids and dogs in our suburban home. Key lessons learned from the pandemic.... You can never have enough toilet paper... You definitely need yeast to bake.... And most importantly, always keep a well-stocked bar. We hope you enjoy "THE LOST YEAR, an epic journey of discovery by a family that faced down a pandemic with humor and mixed drinks!"

On top of finding a new found appreciation for bartenders, he inevitably remodeled his wet bar.
