January.
Gorgeous glittering snow.
Citrus season.
Sharp bright air.
Sharp bright and just sweet enough
fresh oranges, grapefruit, limes.
The Cara Cara oranges and the Moro blood oranges are both wonderful this year.
I make Lisa Greco's blood orange martini with
the juice of 1 Cara Cara,
and 1 Moro orange, orange
vodka, a splash of Roses lime,
 cranberry juice, and fresh snow.
Sharp, bright, wonderful.

Raise the glass to Lisa.
If there is heaven and you are in it,
I hope that you are telling the angels hysterical stories
and making them roll with laughter,
and are telling God about the things
that should be done better.

If there is no heaven, it does not matter,
I keep you sharp, bright and wonderful in my mind.
