  1. Now for something fun and tasty.

    Kir, the French cocktail. A mixture of Creme de Cassis and dry white wine.

    I finished another of Martin Walker’s “Bruno” books. The main character, Bruno, is the Chief of Police in a small town in rural France who’s known for his skills as a cook and his ability to solve crimes.

    Quite often in the books he’s cooking a seemingly delicious meal for friends and before dinner they all enjoy a Kir.

    Last night my wife and I tried it for the first time. It’s quite tasty and refreshing. A recipe that I found is:
    - 4.5 oz white wine
    - 3/4 oz Creme de Cassis (a Black Currant based Liqueur)

    There are other ratios, but this seemed like a good place to start.
