Day 2- Joy via UPS

Several weeks ago at one of our weekly Mad Men viewing parties, my friend B introduced me to the delicious Tom Collins. Ever since I have been on the hunt for the perfect recipe. This little baby here might help me create my masterpiece.

I had to order it online because I couldn't find it anywhere. And before you tell me that I could just make my own simple syrup by boiling sugar and water, I'll tell you that you've clearly missed the point of this purchase. I simply cannot have simple syrup without a bottle that is appropriately and beautifully labeled. Now when I run out (I estimate that to be in about a week) I can make my own and refill this gorgeous bottle.

And yes I did have it shipped to my office. Having online purchases sent to your office is like Christmas all year long.

P.S. My co-worker Tony's face has been purposely distorted to protect his identify. I already got in trouble with him yesterday for telling everyone on Facebook that he brushed his teeth at work. I don't understand why he was upset. Now everyone knows that he takes oral hygiene seriously.

I almost lost it when I read that you BOUGHT simple syrup, when nothing beats homemade...but I am glad that you will be making your own in the future.

I seriously thought Tony had a distorted face like The Elephant Man! Whose got those Photoshop skills in your office?
