THE BROADWAY SUPER LAWYER Season 3 Episode 3

Doris Dear & Jason BaruchHi Dears! Welcome back to Doris Dear’s Gurl Talk! Polishing polishing polishing!!!! 

I’m your hostess, Doris Dear, otherwise known as ‘Americas Perfect Housewife’. Good to see you back in the Rumpus Room! 

We are reading from Arlene Dahl’s marvy book entitled “Arlene Dahl’s Lovescopes” from 1983! It’s chock a block full of ideas based on your Zodiac sign on how to keep your lover happy… 

My mother Taffy truly believed in the Zodiac, palm reading and psychics. Taffy was a true Scorpio in every sense, as was my sister. Let me tell you, watching those to go at it was like a scene out of “Clash of the Titans”! OH THAT HARRY HAMILL!!! Damn you LISA RENNA!  It was a very “in” subject in the 70’s and 80’s. In fact here in NYC there are still many so called “palm readers” along many side streets. They sit in their windows waiting for people to stop by for a reading. I’m not so sure they can truly tell you much, but for a few dollars it is good entertainment!!! 

Doris DearSo sit back, relax and it’s time for some psychic magic from this seasons author, Arlene Dahl and her book  LOVESCOPES! 

Ok now the book… 

Todays guest is a Gemini… so let’s see what Miss Dahl has to SUGGEST! My dad Duke was a Gemini so this ought to be very enlightening! 

 Well that’s our Gemini reading today… thank you Arlene and your “Lovescopes”! Well, I think you get the idea. Oh, it’s full of great stuff!  Remember each show I will be sharing some simply wonderful nuggets from this fab book. So mix up a great cocktail, sit back, get comfy and get your Zodiac on with ARLENE DAHL. Tune in each week for a little bit of fun.

 Welcome to the Doris Dears Bar Chart The place where we make the cocktails we drink here in the Rumpus Room. 

Todays cocktail that Jason and I enjoyed was Italy’s favorite cocktail, the Aperol Spritz. Jason is a Gemini, and Geminis are fueled by curiosity, socializing, intellectualizing, and flitting from one thing to the next. Well Jason IS a lawyer! That's why this tantalizing Aperol Spritz is spot on for the air sign. This sign is curious and adaptable, which is perfect since this drink is made with a mixture of ingredients. Since Geminis can be outgoing and playful while also being serious and restless, this delicious drink strikes the ideal balance between fun and traditional … no wonder Jason chose Theatrical Lawyering!!! 

Often described as an Italian sunset in a glass, the Aperol Spritz originated in the city of Padua …. Oh how “Kiss Me Kate”!!!  and has become one of the most famous cocktails from Italy. The Aperol liqueur became a beloved apéritif in Padua and out of its rising popularity the Aperol Spritz was born during the chic 1950s in Northern Italy. 

Aperol finally entered the picture in the early 1900s, when brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri inherited their father's liquor company in 1912, and after seven years of experimentation, debuted the bold, technicolor tipple known as Aperol, inspired by the French term for apéritif: "Apéro." The original recipe, which is still in use today, remains a secret, but does include both bitter and sweet oranges as well as … are you ready for this … rhubarb. !?!? well I do LOVE Strawberry rhubarb pie! 

The brand grew in popularity throughout the beginning of the 20th century, but it wasn't until the 1950’s that the official recipe for the Aperol spritz was born. The sip was a hit in its native Italy as an aperitivo—a drink meant to refresh you from the day and get your appetite in gear for the evening. 

So now I present to you… 

THE DORIS DEAR APEROL SPRITZ!
