rainy days and mondays.

Hey Chicagoans,
Remember this Monday and how rainy it was? What better way to combat the weather than making fish tacos with pico de gallo and going to see a free show?

If Tuesdays make you blue, I’d suggest renting a movie, eating pizza, and making pisco sours. It’s pretty easy and very fun. We were, however, lacking bitters.

Ingredients:
1.5 oz. pisco, 1 egg white (it’s not gross and probably won’t give you salmonella)

Juice of 1 lemon, (squeeze it)

1 oz simple syrup

Shake it up over ice.

Pour into a glass, add a dash of orange flower water, and garnish with a stem of mint if you so desire… Look at the pretty foam!

** We didn’t have bitters on hand, which are quite important to have. See the comments below.

For you movie selection, might I suggest Delicatessen. Entertaining for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
