Ooooooooo, I've not! What's in a Mojito? (yeah, I could google, but
I'd rather talk to Goomba!) I'm also very very fond of Gimlets. And
margaritas on the rocks. And ... hmmmm. Barb will be lampooning me
for lushness soon :-)

I sat out on my porch last night in my rocking chair reading until
midnight and sipping G&Ts. Plural. The book is called "My Year of
Meats" and it's very good.

TammyM, latent lush (ok, not so latent!)

p.s. Have you ever heard of a book called "The Night the Bear Ate the
Goomba"? My great grandmother used the word Goomba to mean "the
boogeyman". As in "The GOOMBA is going to get you if you're not
good!" So the word Goomba kind of still gives me the shivvers, 40-odd
years later!!!
