The Golden Pen

Notes From Today's Meeting:

May Day! May Day! It's time to cast your ballots for Pink Slip Jam in Portland's own Starlight Parade, with the Maker Overlord Float from Eye Hand Supply! The polls close tomorrow, May 2, so DO NOT DELAY!!

Now that that Public Service Announcement has been delivered, Pink Slip Jam is back with Mad Men~inspired kitchen high jinx with a saucy little number inspired by the iconic jewelry worn with such flair each episode (at least when she's in the office...) by our beloved Joan Holloway. This week's cocktail syrup feature will be The Golden Pen, a double whammy of ginger & a hint of black pepper. It's spicy, it has some heat, and it has a lovely golden glow about it. While this syrup lends itself to pears, apples, crepes, and all manner of breakfast treats, in keeping with the flavor of our evenings at The Hollywood Theater, Fleur de Lethal Cinematique & Pink Slip Jam prefer to serve this beauty in a glass of Champagne.

To review:

1. Please cast your ballot in the Eye Hand Supply Maker Float voting TODAY!
2. Please write (legibly!) on your schedule to visit us at The Hollywood Theater this Sunday, May 6th.
3. Please order a delicious Champagne cocktail ~ you'll have several choices this week!
4. Enjoy the show!

Thank you so much. Meeting adjourned.

A Rose By Yet Another Name...

Easter Bunny has come & gone, eggs were dye'd, chocolate was consumed, quiche was made, and Bloody Mary was the preferred beverage of the morning. Once those things were accomplished, the real work began: Mad Men Night at The Hollywood Theater here in Portland, OR. Our local Hostess Extraordinaire, Nico Bella, (aka Fleur de Lethal), asked me to come up with a little something to enhance Cocktail Hour...I did. Pink Slip Jam created a Clementine & Vanilla Syrup which was incorporated into a lovely drink called 'The Ankle Singer'. Champagne was involved. The evening was effervescent. People loved it, and I received compliments, an empty bottle, and a request for something else for next week! So...without further ado, here is your advance notice for a new beverage, courtesy of Ms. Fleur de Lethal herself: A Basketful of Kisses. If you know your MM history, you will remember this is a slogan that changed the game for Peggy, lifting her from the ranks of the Secretarial Pool into the position of Junior Copywriter! Hmmm...maybe I just gave away the answer to a trivia question. No matter...you'll just have to start attending our shows! The Pink Slip addition to Champagne this week will be a beautiful rosy pink syrup, Rose Geranium. Suitable for any skin tone! I think I can safely say that, despite their enormous differences, Peggy, Joan, Betty, and Francine would all be satisfied (ahem)!
