So, we are fans of the television show Parks and Recreation (even though Leslie Knope and librarians don't get along)



But if you have watched the show, you will know that Ron Swanson (played by Nick Offerman) LOVES a very specific kind of whisky/scotch called Lagavulin.



Nick Offerman actually loves Lagavulin and this was written into the character of Ron Swanson so, yeah Swanson/Offerman - who is the character? I don't even know!!!

We decided we wanted to try it. So we split the cost with friends (it's $80/bottle, so we decided we'd go halvsies as two couples).

It was very oak-y. It spent 16 years in a barrel so that makes sense. It tastes like the barrel, like, you could taste the fire roasted wood chips. It wasn't my favorite scotch that I've ever had. I think I prefer Jameson.

Very cool experience to try it though! I did get a little bit too tipsy and drop a glass so OOPS! I switched to a plastic cup after that (though I also switched to water for about an hour too). Between the four of us, the entire bottle was gone in a matter of hours.

I'm trying to catch up on 'Once Upon a Time'. This happens EVERY YEAR it has been on, I swear. I get about halfway through the season, they have their break, and I forget about it's existence. I think it needs to be like Game of Thrones or Doctor Who and just have 12 really solid episodes. I always feel like they start to flail around the middle of the season, trying to find a way to stretch it out to 24 episodes. And so I'm not compelled to keep watching...and then shit goes down the last few episodes and I'm like OMG LOVE IT. Bah, OUaT will be my Thursday morning show once I have my Thursday mornings back!

I've been flipped to Thursday AM all this month do to our Babies program. Babies used to be my least favorite, but I'm actually enjoying it now (maybe because Toddlers are too much for me). I've managed to write out 4 plans for the program and keep rotating them and the parents and babies are awesome. I've got two more left in this month, then I flip to either Toddlers or PreK...can't remember which.

Oh and the blessed release of Early Voting! Our library is an Early Voting location so we can't use the meeting room so no storytimes for 2 weeks!!! You have no idea how happy this makes me and the rest of the storytime team. (This whole thing was launched in March and no one really thought about the reality of how much staff time it would take to do programming 3 times a week for forever...)

Which is why I probably enjoyed this tasty beverage so much last night:



It's the new seasonal cider - Elder Flower. I could really taste the difference. [livejournal.com profile] bittertwee once told me she felt like drinking Earl Grey tea was like drinking perfume. I think the same could be said for the flavor of this drink. But I love Early Grey. And I love the flower/fruity taste that this cider had. Though I think it might be better as a drink on it's own than with dinner.
