Week of March 9

No good excuse for my absence last week (although it seems like every food blogger out there has been stuck by a horrifically bad flu). I am back now, nose to the grindstone, shoulder to the wheel, etc., etc.

I do owe a few of you an apology. With a flagrant disregard for protocol and propriety and consideration of the large pool of Harvardarians who troll this site (and who are my primary fan-base), I posted a Yale recipe! Egads.

I am pleased to announce that the Harvard Cocktail is next in rotation. The legion of crimson-clad folks out there will be pleased to note that the ingredient list is substantially more, well, substantial. Creme de Violette, indeed! So New Haven ...
