Many of us will be spending most of the week-end indoors. Heck, I’ve spent most of the past week indoors. Today’s recipe might help you get through it. I thought and thought about an appropriate recipe to share today and came up with hot buttered rum. I associate this drink with apres ski, but it will be perfect to sip by the fire while watching some college basketball on the tube with Mr. Right this week-end. I did some research and decided that Martha Stewart has the best/easiest recipe. So, thank you, Martha for coming up with this concoction. And remember, friends, to drink responsibly.
