Picture this at your next book club gathering: powdered sugar everywhere, someone yelling “whoa!” at a peanut butter-bacon cocktail, or a copy of Jenny Lawson’s “Furiously Happy” open in someone’s lap while they’re cackling so hard their drink goes up their nose.

November at RED (Read, Eat, Drink) is all about slowing down and savoring the small things. We’re taking inspiration from Little Women — the little acts that bring us together. Read: Little Women Eat: Gingerbread candied nuts Drink: Slow Cooker Irish Coffee Book club magic is found in the tiny moments shared at the table.

If you ask the Danes the secret to happiness, they’ll probably mention hygge long before they talk about money or ambition. Hygge isn’t just a Danish word you see on Pinterest in the fall—it’s a feeling, a way of making ordinary moments comforting and special.

Pair it with dirt cups (chocolate pudding + crushed cookies) and The Expedition (a coffee liqueur cocktail) for the full experience. Bonus: discover the wild history of Kentucky’s Lost River Cave, once a Prohibition-era speakea

October is the season when the air gets a little colder, the nights a little longer, and our book club picks a little... creepier.

Summer never sticks around long enough. One minute, you’re dusting off your sandals, the next you’re eyeing that first yellow leaf. But before the sun slips away, there’s still time to squeeze out every last drop of the season. At RED (Read, Eat, Drink), we believe in living summer to the hilt—with a book in one hand, a snack in the other, and a cold drink sweating in the shade beside you.
