See Ya Next Year

WHAT UP CARNAGE, CREW!?!?

Sorry for the all-caps, we’re just stoked about it being Friday. But not just any Friday. It’s Friday before a looong break. Carney (the agency behind the Carnage) is going to be closed all next week. So, we won’t be sending another Daily email until the New Year.

Remember when your teachers in school always used to say, “See ya next year!!” on the last day of class before the holiday break? Yeah, that’s basically what we’re saying. But, before we go, we have one final recap email for you. We’re recapping the best content of the week. Right here, right now.

(PS – we’ve got big things in store for 2019. Buckle up.)

Five O'Clock Right Here!

It’s Friday. It’s not 5 PM, but we do have a holiday break sooo…we’re breaking into the drinks a little early today. In fact, we’re doing Irish Coffee.

This recipe from the NY Times should do the trick. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup Demerara sugar
• Heavy cream, preferably Trickling Springs or another high-quality brand
• 1 ½ ounces Irish whiskey, preferably Powers Gold Label
• 4 ounces hot, freshly made coffee
• Dash of ground nutmeg
