And I suppose it keeps the body nice and toasty from the inside, out, for cold winters? <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by, friend!Notes from Maggie's Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988466982319140284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480917655760821690.post-1552127507380894952013-07-12T11:15:42.532-05:002013-07-12T11:15:42.532-05:00Hi Steph!

I don't have a television in the country, but when I am staying in Austin, I try to catch up on Mad Men, or at least see a few episodes. The Don Draper is so messed up! And Jon Hamm is so fine...lol.<br /><br />Glad you liked that line, girl. Thank you! And thanks for dropping by!<br />Notes from Maggie's Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988466982319140284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480917655760821690.post-55985592783514877862013-07-11T14:00:37.516-05:002013-07-11T14:00:37.516-05:00Love the history lesson.

(Wait...is that a contradiction of the hipster definition? lol) In Wisconsin, people have been consistently drinking these forever -- both young and old. And despite whiskey being how this drink got its start, up there you have the option of whiskey, bourbon, or brandy. Side fact, Wisconsin is the largest consumer of brandy in the country.

Of course, when I think Don Draper I think *Swoon*.<br /><br />"And, hey, I'm all for fancy from time to time. But some things are best left to their brilliant basic bones.
