Food was abundant and easy to obtain, as it usually is here in the Western world.
Nonetheless, I was utterly and completely depleted. Exhausted and overworked, I was pushed beyond my limits in my position as head cook of, ironically, that very same vegetarian kitchen. There I was, feeding over sixty people three meals a day, six days a week but I had forgotten how to feed myself.

Cocktail Recipe: Frozen Gin & Tonic — The 10-Minute Happy Hour
When it comes to cocktails, by no means does frozen translate to frilly. In fact, one hot spot in the Midwest has a menu of high-end, rock star cocktails all served frozen.
