This is such a special episode because, for the first time ever, I'm interviewing an author about their book, because it's one of my favorite books! Gingko Season by Naomi Xu Elegant is a story about a young woman, Penelope Lin, who is moving through the world after her first big heartbreak and discovering herself while on the cusp between young adulthood and adulthood. The depiction of this time of life is just one of the things I loved about this book, and I was thrilled to be able to discuss it with Naomi!Naomi Xu Elegant is a freelance journalist and the author of the novel Gingko Season. She lives in New York. Naomi's writing has appeared in Monocle, Fortune, Atlas Obscura, Nikkei Asia, The Drift, and elsewhere. She is co-editor of Gully, an independent literary magazine, and she writes a monthly Substack called Luanqibazao.I would love for you to read Gingko Season, check out this review from the New York Times!Our drink this week is a Lychee Martini, which is featured in the book. As I found out during our discussion, including these martinis was an Easter egg for Naomi's mom, because they're her favorite cocktail. I asked if she'd be willing to share the recipe with us as a special addition to the episode, and she did! She said the secret is to blend whole lychees and lychee juice together, then strain the mixture through a sieve to get that lovely, milky color.Lychee Martini Recipe2 oz. vodka2 oz. lychee juiceShake in a cocktail shaker over ice.Serve neat in a cocktail glass.Garnish with a whole lychee (optional)Naomi's mom's tip: Blend whole lychees with lychee juice (both canned), then strain through a sieve to get your juice.

So with National Martini Day coming up on Thursday 19th June, followed by World Martini Day on Saturday 21st June, it would be rude of us not to give a little nod to our signature drink.With that in mind, we've picked out two very different bases for our Martinis, we go high proof with Beluga Gold Line Vodka and low – not in quality, but volume – with Second Sip, a new, recently released 20% abv gin created very much with sessional Martinis in mind by industry stalwarts Leo Robitschek and Nick Strangeway.Make Mine A Martini – 130 cocktails and canapés for fabulous parties by Kay Plunkett-Hogge, is our book choice and it does exactly what it says on the tin.

I bought a trivia game from Go! Games, a company based in Austin. I was at the mall and it was $5 and I grabbed it. It's always nice to have multiple trivia games for the podcast and just for fun. See how many you get right. I will be using this game again in the future, I barely scratched the surface of the questions.

Seriously. We're not doing a bit. Our comedians break down the Marlins series: the offense is still anemic, the starters were good and bullpen was elite. So, same old, same old.

Most of us are skilled at being kind to others, but do you extend that same level of kindness to yourself? Self-love is a wonderful aspiration, but sometimes it feels hard to reach. Self-kindness can be the path that guides us toward this deeper appreciation. Through small acts of gentleness, we can begin to tend to ourselves with the same care and understanding that we offer to our loved ones.  You are worthy of rest. You are worthy of acceptance. And you are worthy of love. The path always starts with you. What am I reading?The Bane Witch by Ava Morgyn https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250835451The Story of Witches by Willow Winshamhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781849949064https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?The Cave by Mumford & Sons What's for dinner? Asparagus & Bacon PenneIngredients:1 lb penne pasta1 lb asparagus1 bag frozen broccoli1 onion4 tablespoons sun dried-tomatoes in olive oil1 package bacon (your choice) Parmesan cheeseSalt and pepperDrizzle olive oil Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Uncle Brad and Jules tackle the luxurious Brandy Alexander – a cocktail so smooth, it practically wears velvet pajamas. This creamy classic may have emerged from the shadow of its lesser-known (but equally delicious) parent cocktail, but it's earned its place as a dessert drink worthy of year-round appreciation.  Uncle Brad starts us off with the traditional Brandy Alexander, made the proper way with cream – because while our friends in Wisconsin might insist on ice cream, we're sticking to the original recipe that put this cocktail on the map. Then Jules shakes things up with her signature Root Beer twist, proving that sometimes the best innovations come from thinking outside the liquor cabinet. Uncle Brad digs into the fascinating origins of this sophisticated sipper and reveals the identity of its mysterious parent cocktail.  Whether you're looking to cap off a dinner party or simply want to treat your taste buds to something special, the Brandy Alexander delivers dessert-level indulgence in liquid form. Just remember: this is a nightcap, not a noon-time refresher... actually, don't let us dictate policy, enjoy it whenever you'd like.  Brandy Alexander  Glass: Coupe  Garnish: Nutmeg  Directions & Ingredients  In shaker glass add:  1.5 oz Cognac / Nice French Brandy  1.0 oz Dark creme de cacao  1.0 oz of Heavy cream  Ice  Shake for 20 seconds or until it's too cold to hold  Strain into your coupe glass  Garnish with fresh nutmeg     Alexander the Float  Rootbeer Alexander Float  A boozy, creamy, spiced summer dessert cocktail  Glass: Pint Glass  Garnish: Nutmeg or shaved chocolate   Ingredients:  2 oz Cognac  1 oz crème de cacao   1/2 oz heavy cream  2 oz root beer (chilled)  1 scoop vanilla bean ice cream  Freshly grated nutmeg (optional)  Instructions:  Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your glass  Shake the brandy, crème de cacao, and cream with ice and strain into glass  Top with root beer—slowly! Let it fizz.  Garnish with a dash of nutmeg or a shaved chocolate float.  TIP: Thoughtful question from @Susu_51295 about the differences between syrup, shrub, and oleo sacrum – essential knowledge for any home bartender looking to elevate their craft.     The Art of Drinking  IG: @theartofdrinkingpodcast   Website: www.theartofdrinkingpodcast.com     Join Jules  IG: @join_jules  TikTok: @join_jules   Website: joinjules.com    Uncle Brad   IG: @favorite_uncle_brad    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: @reddrockmusic  www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

UnREAL premiered 10 years ago and is having a panel at the ATX Television Festival this year, so I thought what better way to celebrate than to cover the pilot episode. You can stream the show on Netflix.Reality shows are often full of drama, but in the case of dating show `Everlasting', there may be more drama behind the scenes than there is in front of the camera. Executive producer Quinn commands her staff to get dramatic and outrageous footage for the show, which forces young producer Rachel to manipulate the relationships among the contestants to get the show's final cut to match Quinn's vision of it. As show star Adam searches for his perfect mate, the show's staff members deal with their own romantic predicaments on the set. Rachel's ex-boyfriend is one of the show's cameramen, and his current fiancee, Lizzie, is the makeup artist.“The Final Rose” - An UnREAL Cocktail:

Jess is a library branch manager and has worked in public libraries for the last 18 years. She is a Virginia native but has also spent time in Arizona, North Carolina and Ohio. She is married with two children and three dogs. Her favorite pastime is listening to live music

This has always been a film I have enjoyed with a great cast and a great story to keep you intrigued. I would also recommend the tv show if you get a chance to watch it, too bad it only lasted one season. This is such a great thriller from the 90s, so rent it or buy a copy online. Policewoman Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) is in hot pursuit of a serial murderer whose calling card is a small shard of bone extracted from each of his victims. Unable to decipher the cryptic clues the killer leaves behind at the scene of the crime, Amelia calls upon quadriplegic forensic criminology expert Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) to help. With Amelia acting as Rhyme's able-bodied go-between, the pair piece together disparate clues, hoping they will learn who the next victim is.The Bone Collector:
