In high school, I more or less had a one track mind. "Get me out of this place, get me out of this place, get me out of this place." Think Dorothy and the ruby slippers, but the exact opposite meaning. I wanted nothing more than to escape the state and get out and see the world. I've done a fair bit of seeing the world, but as I'm currently back home, I haven't escaped yet. However, since I had tunnel vision about the whole going out of state thing, I didn't really connect with many of my classmates in high school. My group of friends that I would eat with were generally all thinking along the same lines as me- get me out of here. Out of the main group of six or seven of us at my usual lunch table, we all went to different colleges. A surprising feat, honestly. We graduated and dispersed and never looked back.
Which means now, when I'm back at home, I don't really have a group of people to hang out with who are all in the same place as me. The friends I did try and keep in touch with during my college years are all still in college. They're great, but it'd be nice to have a circle of post grads to hang out with and complain about the job market together.
Granted I just might be the fun new kid on the playground after I finish this monster bar tending book I have. Only just now reaching the recipes section and I've already started picking out the ones I want to try and make/learn. Luckily, perhaps due to our wonderful Scotch-Irish heritage, my parents are very supportive of this hobby.
Recipes I want to learn/try (bear with me, I'm still just in the gin section so they're all gin based drinks):
Gin Fizz
Tom Collins
Martini
My Fair Lady
Lady Killer
Bee's Knees
Maiden's Blush
