Cupcakes, Jackie Gleason and cocktails

​Dear Journal,

So, Tampa gets to have an ATM filled with Sprinkles Cupcakes?

Well, jolly-good for them.

What do we have to do to get a Sprinkles ATM in Palm Beach County?

I really don't know how I can convey to civic leaders around here that having access to these magical cupcakes is of the utmost importance.

Having gone all the way to the original Beverly Hills location to grab a box full of these delightful confections, I mean business about my cakes in a cup.

Let us lift a glass to the legendary, Jackie Gleason. Today would have been his 100th birthday.

Mr. Gleason, a lover of the South Florida lifestyle, brought his music, television show and much more to the area.

Until today, I was unaware that the showman also had a vast interest in parapsychology. 

After his death, thanks to his widow, The University of Miami was the reciepient of 1,700 volumes of his books, and various publications on things such as ESP, folklore, UFO's and more. It is known as "The Jackie Gleason Collection."

Cheers...and, away we go!

It is a bit early, but let's go ahead and think about St. Patrick's Day, by mixing up a time-honored green cocktail.

Grasshopper
1 oz fresh cream
1 oz creme de menthe
1 oz creme de cacao

​Pour ingredients into cocktail shaker with ice.

Shake briskly.

Strain into chilled martini glasses.

Now, as I sip my green cocktail I will be formulating my plan on how to get a Sprinkles ATM in the Palm Beaches! -- Pam
