  “Don’t let the Tipsy Texan’s clever nickname fool you: Here’s a man who seriously understands the art and the lore of the cocktail.” —Rebecca Rather, author of The Pastry Queen 
   
  From the man at the forefront of Texas mixology, get recipes for Big & Boozy drinks for when hearty, spirit-forward cocktails are the order; Light, Bright, and Refreshing cocktails that will get you through those long, hot summers; and Sweet, Creamy, and Desserty cocktails that will satisfy the sweet tooth. A section on techniques reveals tricks of the trade, with each recipe accompanied by ingredient notes for anything that’s out of the ordinary or must be house-made. Recipes include the author's own creations as well as classics with local and regional twists, such as the Old Austin, a Texas update on the Old Fashioned sweetened with toasted pecan syrup. The Peach Tom Collins is a simple variation on the classic that tastes like Hill Country in a glass. The Harvest Punch showcases local rum, seasonal spices, and fresh pressed apple cider. A bowl of Absinthe Eggnog or a Golden Sleigh, an eggnog variation on the old Golden Cadillac, bring extra cheer to the holidays. Succulent red grapefruits—the crown jewels of Texas’s indigenous cocktail ingredients from the Rio Grande valley—figure prominently here. 
   
  You’ll also meet the bartenders who ushered in the Texas cocktail revival; see the places where they ply their trade; and read about the distillers who’ve put Texas on the national craft distilling map—and all the wonderful cocktails that Texas bartenders (and bar patrons!) have devised in which to use these homegrown spirits. You’ll even join a tour of the gardens and farmers’ markets that give Texans an incredible year-round assortment of fruits and vegetables, ripe for the picking—and ripe for the drinking.  
   
  “Thanks to his truly delicious book, we can all mix up our own tastes of David’s Texas—from Austin loquats to Hill Country peaches, blended with the state’s finest artisan liquors. Cheers!” —Jim Hightower, New York Times-bestselling author of Swim Against the Current

  Break Through Your Set Point -...

  How many times have you gone on a diet and lost a few pounds, only to hit, once again, that dreaded plateau?  Many people manage to lose the first 10, 15, or 20 pounds of the weight they want to shed. Then, no matter how hard they work, they can't seem to nudge the number on the scale farther down, and often they end up gaining back the weight they lost. Finally, there is a healthy, permanent weight-loss solution that will get you off the frustrating yo-yo that often accompanies most fad diets. Dr. George L. Blackburn is the associate director of the Division of Nutrition at Harvard Medical School and directs the Center for the Study of Nutrition Medicine, which investigates complex issues in nutrition and health. Based on three decades of his research and clinical practice, Break Through Your Set Point offers an exciting and effective program that will give you specific tools to help you get out of your rut and prevent those extra pounds from coming back. Your set point, or typical body weight, is determined by your genes and your environment. Many modern lifestyle habits—including getting too little sleep and eating on the run—have conspired to raise many people's set points to unhealthily high levels. According to Dr. Blackburn's theory, if you set a reasonable goal to lose about 10 percent of your initial body weight, then hold steady at your new weight without regaining any pounds for at least six months, you can reset your body's set point. And once you've reset your set point, you can repeat the cycle to lose even more weight.The body's innate tendency to protect itself against starvation explains why the body resists losing weight after a certain point. Dr. Blackburn explains the science behind the set-point theory and helps you devise a plan that works for you. With his unique, multi-faceted approach, Dr. Blackburn shows that hitting your set point is not a dead end but the first step in losing weight the right way. This book will help you overcome your weight-loss plateau once and for all.

  Cup Overflowing - Wine’s Place...

  Have you ever wondered what Jesus would drink? Was his family perhaps involved in growing vines and making wine? What would their family celebrations have been like? And what might this tell us about God and how he wants us to live today? Food and wine have become such hot topics in our culture, and yet there is so much confusion and ambivalence around it as well. We are so far removed from the world of the Bible and the agrarian life that it represents. It is hard to envision the farms and fruit orchards, the village wells and sheep herds, the olive groves and vineyards that Jesus would have walked by every day. 
  Wine is the most talked-about food in the Bible, and yet so much of the evangelical world has neglected this important biblical theme and fragrant gift of God. Drawing on her upbringing in a long-standing family tradition of winemakers and her degrees in biblical studies and spiritual theology, Gisela Kreglinger introduces readers in a light-hearted way to the theme of wine in the Bible, throughout the history of the church, and in the church's feasting and fellowship today. She also addresses how many Christians are fearful or concerned about wine because of the challenges of alcohol abuse, how to nurture a culture of healing from such disorders, and how we are called to celebrate God's gift of wine to grow into a fuller understanding of the gospel as we await the return of the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. In this book, Gisela shows Christians that wine is a gift from God that we are to receive with gratitude and enjoy in wholesome, communal, and redemptive ways.
