  It was my ambition to create cocktails for all three Crawley sisters (because original cocktails for the whole cast, while admirable, might be a bit daunting). First up is Sybil, the youngest, and my (and maybe your) personal favorite. Sybil is so easy to like…she’s sweet without being saccharine, headstrong, and a bit stubborn. For her, I created a cocktail with delicate, rarefied flavors (St. Germain and champagne) that’s grounded with something a bit more everyman (London dry gin). The end product is sweet, lovely, and stronger than you’d expect.

  Lady Sybil
  makes 1 cocktail
  1 oz gin
  3/4 oz St. Germain elderflower liqueur
  brut champagne, chilled

  Combine the gin and St. Germain over ice. Shake and strain into a flute. Top with champagne. (via Downton Abbey Cocktails: Sybil | The Kitchn)

  Twee-diculously adorable. But really, what did you expect? This video made me want to watch 500 Days of Summer all over again, but it appears to be gone from Canadian Netflix. Mas como 500 Days of Bummer. Much tearing of hair and rending of clothing ensued. Anyway, Happy New Year! :)

  One day before breakfast,
  an orange rolled off the
  counter and escaped its
  fate, bouncing happily
  through the kitchen door.
  
  Filled with hope, the
  egg followed.

  Dream Big - Rubik Cube Martin Luther King Portrait

  Designer Pete Fecteau, spent 40 hours configuring a monumental mosaic of Martin Luther King Jr. made entirely out of Rubik’s Cubes called Dream Big. Each cube was “reversed solved” or twisted so that one of the faces maps it’s nine stickers into the total image, that’s 38,178 stickers in total!

  With a computer generated draft as his blueprint, Pete used 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes to construct the 18’ 6” x 9’ 8” piece that, once completed, weighed about half a ton.

  Which leaves only one question. WHY???
