This is a weird holiday season. One silver lining of being home with my folks is that I was able to cook a full, classic Thanksgiving feast–turkey, pumpkin pie, buttermilk biscuits with honey butter, and roasted veggies–with lots of room and enough equipment. And now, we turn our attention to the holiday season (hooray?). Given the circumstances, I’m not really going wild on shopping, but I have been thinking about getting restaurant merch like nice tea towels or a fun diner mug as a small gift for myself (to celebrate getting a job!).
When looking at the shop of one of my favorite restaurants, st. JOHN, this funky bottle caught my eye. It’s a Fergroni (a Fergus negroni) that they’re selling in the UK only. While I can’t buy it this side of the Atlantic, I wanted to keep it here for posterity, or, perhaps, inspiration (things to imbibe upon future travels). The Fergroni was inspired by a trip Fergus Henderson took to Italy, and contains Tanqueray Dry Gin, Punt e Mes vermouth, and Campari bitters. While we could all make it ourselves at home, what makes this bottle special is the Fortunato Depero-inspired label. I think I’ll be fixing up one of these in December; to paraphrase, we need a little punt e mes right this very minute.

God will give us the super-vision we need.
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
Jesus explains that the end of days will be pretty obvious to those on the lookout, saying there will even be “signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars.” In this cartoon, Matthew astutely notices that those celestial bodies are a fair distance from Earth and, thinking that Jesus is saying to literally look for sign posts mounted on them, asks how they’d be possible to see. Naturally, Peter answers with the most logical, philosophically-blind answer he can.

More like POUTING Thomas, amirite?
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
I’m told that the name Thomas comes from the ancient Aramaic word for “twin”, while Didymus (Thomas’s alternate name as mentioned by John in the Gospel) comes from the Greek word for “twin”, so essentially Thomas had two names: one Hebrew, and one Greek, which I hear probably wasn’t uncommon for Jews living in Jesus’s time since Greek was such a huge deal. In this cartoon, John comes up with a completely different reason for Thomas’s alternate name, saying it’s because he missed the first appearance of the risen Jesus. John says, “Boy, did he miss a lot!” and emphasizes the “did he miss” part, which sounds like how one might pronounce “Didymus”. John is saying this random segment of a sentence that someone might exclaim when they found out how much Thomas missed out is the reason for his Greek name. This has been “Fun Facts with the Bible and Tom but Not The tom from The bible But instead the Tom from the Tomics which have Fun With the Bible!”

Happy Easter!
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
After finding Jesus’s tomb empty, Mary Magdalene tells the apostles. They hurry to the scene and find the tomb, indeed, empty. In this cartoon, John and Mary start to bicker about how this could be, slinging sexist jabs at one another until Peter calls them out for bickering like five-year-old children while standing outside of the risen God’s tomb.
