The Manhattan Matrix

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

One of the YouTube channels Tom watches is called How to Drink with a non-professional home bartender that likes to “make drinks and drink them!” He’s funny and we enjoy listening to his reviews.

One recent episode was called This episode tried to kill me where he did a Manhattan Matrix…with like 42 different versions to try (6 vermouths by 7 Bourbons)! The boys decided to try it with 3 vermouths and 3 Bourbons…

Both looking up the recipe that was used because neither could remember and they wanted to do it exactly right.

Don’t worry—they did not drink all of all the trials. It was mostly small sips of each one. They also rated them all 1-9.

Owen’s birthday present!

We just gave Owen his birthday present—a personalized video from a YouTuber we watch all the time—and he freaking loved it! (If you don’t watch Charlie on YouTube, you should.)

Here’s the original video if you want to watch without Owen’s reaction.

If you want your own personalized video from any number of people, check out Cameo.

I love having a handy hubby.

Not only did he install three toilets this weekend, today he ripped apart our old dining room table in order to make a new office desk! (We thought about trying to sell it, but we wanted to keep the chairs and thought that would be a much harder sell. E needed a desktop so…)

Plus now he has lots of pieces and parts for future projects!

And we found a hidden H!

Katie and the snow.

We got a bit more snow than I thought—-this is not then we’ve had all season thus far. Tom also realized he needs a bigger snowblower—-it was so deep it took him about two hours to clear the driveway and sidewalks!

She built a seat and drink holder on the side of the driveway. She also built a slide.

Not pictured: the mini snowman and the grave of the snowman that didn’t survive. I give her major points for creativity!

We’ve reached peak adulthood!

You know you’ve reached peak adulthood when you get excited about three new Toto toilets.

After renting for so long and having to deal with (forgive the pun) lots of crappy toilets, really good toilets were on my list!! And, frankly, I’m tired of all the plunging and these are supposed to be the best!

Of course the first toilet went in super easy—isn’t that always the way? Lulling you into a false sense of security. Tom raved about how easy it was. The next two weren’t horrible but they each had minor issues—including one seat that was missing parts so we are without a toilet in the master bath until the replacement comes in Monday (local stores don’t carry this brand and it would take Lowe’s another 7-9 days to send the replacement).

Now to see if they live up to their expectations!
