On today's #supportlocalorelse 🏵️ @tega_hillsfarm edible flowers (purchase via @matthews_market or their farm stand) 🍋 @josh_drinks_clt Yuzu Lemon Cordial 🥃 @chemistspirits Gin . . . Just because you're drinking at home, doesn't mean that you can't get creative! Many local mixologists and bartenders are sharing their recipes and selling cocktail kits. Show your support by making a purchase 🛍️, giving to their #virtualtipjar 💸, posting/tagging your creations 🍹, and checking in on them. Our bartender friends are really more like family, and they've always been there to listen to whatever you have to say--good or bad--while they pour drink after drink behind the bar. Tag your peeps below to share with them a virtual CHEERS and let them know you're thinking of them! . . Cocktail Recipe by @vampirph_ec 1.5 oz Gin 0.75 oz Amaro Montenegro 0.75 oz Yuzu Lemon Cordial 0.25 oz St. Germain 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters . . Floral Ice Ball: Not the best, but for at home and if you don't have the space for a double-walled cooler, we did boil the water which semi-worked. The edible flowers can also be tossed in your salads if you're feeling a little fancy. We will share more about THF and recipes we've been making with some of our local finds on the blog soon!

Our friends at @scallionpancake traded us this @updogkombucha sampler for some teepee that we were able to snag for them during the toilet paper hoarding crisis. And since we've been having so much practice mixing cocktails and also been catching up on a lot of shows.... We mashed all of these into this afternoon's #shelterinplace activity: SHOOKED! . . Link in bio for YouTube Video or head to our IGTV for the two-part first (and should it be the last?) episode of SHOOKED! Shout-out to so many of our fave movers and shakers in the beverage industry. We miss you guys and y'all make it look so easy. Thank you for all the good times and looking forward to when we see you again! . . . Channeling our fave mixologists and bartenders in the Queen City, we spent the afternoon Food Network Chopped style producing this episode of "SHOOKED"....will there be more episodes? Should we make more cocktails? What other challenges can we take on using local CLT goods? . Our fave cocktails of the day were made by Shawn: . 🍓Strawberry Mojito 3/4 cups strawberries muddled with 5 mint leaves 1 ounce of Jamaican Rum 1 ounce of light rum 1/2 ounce honey simple syrup Fill Collins glass with crushed ice and top off with Mojito kombucha . 🥭Firefly Punch 2 ounces Mezcal 3/4 ounce Chinola 1/2 ounce honey simple syrup 1/2 ounce mango juice Top off with Passionfruit kombucha

How have you been spending these last few days? Everything seems to be unknown right now, with recommendations changing as quickly as overnight. Only thing you can do is roll with the punches and stay positive! 💛💛💛 And yes, some days that's going to be easier to do than on others. Check out how we are dealing...up on our blog is a fun recap of how we've detoxed from the stress of it all these past few days! **LINK IN BIO** . . . Sometimes, you just have to be creative and try out some new things and challenge yourself in different ways to have some fun. We had to take a pause in scrolling the news and IG to limit our exposure to COVID on the media too bc it was really getting to us--this resulted in these fun activities we are calling: 🎉 #nailedit with @clt.remedy 🎉 On this 'episode' we had three challenges. 🥃: Replicate a @dotdotdotclt classic cocktail using the recipes they are sharing on their IG ☕: Whip up a Dalgona Coffee--y'all already saw this (but recipe and video tutorial up on the blog!) 🍳: Cook an omurice...**spoiler alert: it's not easy at all!!!* . . We found these ideas once we got sucked into YouTube 😂😂😂. Do you have any suggestions for what we should try to take on next???

You can #takeout the food out of the restaurant, but these #cltfoodies still want to feel like we're dining out! 🍽️📸 Many of you DM'd us about our stories last night of our @theimproperpig spread, and while we were ready to #beimproper with it all, #phoneeatsfirst and we took the time to plate it all up! . . We challenge you to have fun with your take-out! 5 out of the 20 points in Iron Chef is plating and we want to see your skillz!!! Post your meals and tag us and we will share them on our stories. This is the #orderandplateyourtakeout challenge! Are you up for it? . . Use the @chownow platform to order on-line or call ahead, for curbside pick-up from The Improper Pig. They also have delivery to benefit their team!

After four @youtube tutorials on #dalgonacoffee we decided to give it a try!!! Who else has been #influenced to try something new while stuck indoors? Been seeing a lot of people cooking and baking more...some trying their hand at new hobbies or what not! Comment below what you've been up to! We want to know what new skillz you're developing! . . On the couple of days we have had off, we've been playing in the kitchen as influenced by the following: ☕: @fifaye_ 's story on Dalgona Coffee intrigued us so we went down the YouTube rabbithole. Luckily, we still had some instant coffee from our last trip to the 🇵🇭 in the pantry. Swipe 👈 to see our video! 🥨: @cltfoodgirl turned us into this quick Reese's snack hack: 15-20 sec in the microwave then squish the lil cups between pretzels. YUM!!! 🥖🧀: Our love affair with #burrata blossomed due to @the.freckled.fork and she also single-handedly taught us how to treat veggies properly. Oh, she also introduced us to @verdant_bread ...what are we gonna do without her?!?

Time to recognize our community's heroes!!!! And today, we want to highlight and give a great friend a big ol' shout-out ...not only can @chefsamdiminich beat @foodnetwork @bobbyflay BUT he is fighting for our local farms, teaching his kids amazing lessons about promoting a sustainable food culture, AND still finding ways to connect and provide support to @bensfriendscharlotte via virtual meet-ups! #notallheroeswearcapes some wear chef's coat! Tag below a HERO you want to recognize that have stepped up during this difficult times--could be a neighbor, a family member, an entrepreneur kicking butt, or even your mailman! Let em know you appreciate them!!! . . Tonight, we enjoyed a family meal kit that was hand delivered by Chef Sam himself. Many local farms have gone quickly to zero accounts as restaurants have had to cancel orders and Sam is doing his part to support them by making #farmtotable meals. We got to enjoy a 3-course meal featuring @cjfarm_nc @urbangourmetfarms and @tega_hillsfarm ...while we missed dining in @upstreamclt and getting to chat with him about anything and everything, this meal was our highlight of the day. Our only request: Chef Sam, can you bottle up that vinaigrette and mushroom sauce, pretty please and thanks!

Not all cocktails are created equal. If you don't already know the crew at @dotdotdotclt make some of the best cocktails in the QC. . . . pro-tip: If there's no open seat at the bar, kindly ask your server to be put on the waiting list.

Who says that Thanksgiving cocktails have to focus on fall flavors? I say play to your crowd and the #fam happens to love #tiki cocktails. . . . Today's pre-turkey drink... Mai Tai (recipe courtesy of @minimalisttiki)

One of the benefits of being in healthcare... It's perfectly acceptable to drink cocktails during the weekday.

Down the rabbit hole I go.

Getting caught up on some plant care during this Thursday day off. #airplants #tillandsia #airplant #airplantsofinstagram #airplantlove #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #tillandsialover #tillandsiacollection #tillandsias #airplantdecor #airplantlovers #homedecor #urbanjungle #tillandsialove #teamtillandsia #houseplant #airplantdesigns #bromeliad #airplantslover #sanservia

Finally made it to @idlewildbar and they definitely did not disappoint.

Spread love ❤️, not germs🦠. . . . #stringofheartssaturday 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Okay. Pinky promise. Swear. No lies. This little Piccolo is gonna be the last plant baby. For a while. 🤞 Maybe. Or not. I don't know. 🌿

Me: Gray, let's make you lunch then nap time. Gray: But I don't want to take a nap. {Sits on my lap and sulks.} {Rubbed his back and 5 mins later} 😴😴😴. . . . Enjoying this cuddle time despite how heavy he is. Tomorrow is 4-days straight into the wild.

THANK YOU. Just TWO WORDS. But I heard it all of 2 times in the last 4 days that I worked and both times, it literally stopped me in my tracks and immediately my response to both {elderly} patients was, "Thank you for saying 'Thank you'. You have no idea how much that meant just now." . . I'm not posting this because I want to be thanked. I didn't go into pharmacy to be thanked, recognized, appreciated or whatever. One year into my internship, I realized that this was a thankless job. {But sometimes, we do have some appreciative patients that show their gratitude...and for them, this job is worth it. I think. 😜} . . BUT I AM POSTING THIS because no matter how scary this time is, and YES, you are allowed to have your feelings. Everyone is entitled to their thoughts and feelings regardless if it's a scary time or not... PLEASE SHOW GRACE two ways: 1️⃣ Check your entitlement. We're all in this together. Hoarding, demanding, yelling, acting a fool, name calling, among other such actions will not get you closer to what you {even think you} need. You may ultimately get what you want but honestly you're just increasing the burden and stress on others. 2️⃣ Say "thank you" or even just "thanks". You have no idea how much you may be the one that just turns that tired working individual's day around. . . This isn't just for healthcare workers during this time {or really, this shouldn't be just reserved for this time}. But I heard my coworker's husband is a major snack brand delivery guy and was called in to work early and longer because grocery stores are getting wiped out that they have to work double time. 🤦🤦🤦 Y'all!!! That's not essential but they're out there working for YOU and me. While some people are making tough choices to close their doors, some are having to work still out of necessity for themselves--for fear of losing their jobs and livelihood, etc. Some don't have a choice. Please. Choose to show grace today {and everyday}. All fears and joking memes aside, I hope we're learning some REAL lessons from COVID. . . And if you're still reading this... You're an amazing human for caring and I send you #positivevibes Luv ya, mean it!

It's my heavy work week but I do have today off so I'm living it up by playing in the kitchen this morning. Toast to another week ahead, y'all! 🍞: @verdant_bread country loaf 🧀: @uavcheese Marinated Feta 🧅: Sautéed shaved Brussel sprouts + red onions 🍽️: Topped with a fried egg and a drizzle of @laurelgrayvineyards Balsamic vinaigrette {best balsamic vinaigrette EVAHHHH!}

Happy #internationalwomensday to all the ladies out there!!! Shine all you ladies. Grow all you ladies. Bloom all you ladies. Thrive like you mean it! 👯💃👯💃 . . . Btdubs, best neighbors ever award goes to @rickspeed and @yaaas_or_nahs_books for my new #plantlady @raedunn mug I'm obsessing over!!! Drinking all the immunity @yogitea on the daily to ward off all the bugs🦠🦠🦠!
