Naughty you !
I want this.
Please send a dram to me via USPS (tell the postal clerk that no, it's not liquid. Or explosive.)
Will make my own specialty vodka martini, call it "Chez Charlotte." Or "Punk Rock Party," if you like.
dear chayaruchama: yes, i am a naughty plagiarist!
dear charlotte: a dram of perfume or homemade carnation whisky-drink? if i'm rubbish in the kitchen, i'm fatal in the distillery department. i'm sure your life will not be enriched by my mailings. why not drink cynar, the fabulous artichoke liqueur?
LOVE,
mlle p-p-p-p
