Let's be serious: the only reason any of us really watch Mad Men is to fantasize about being as cool as Don Draper. 

We need a vacation.

You've made it to Friday, which means it's time to treat yourself to a roundup of links we love. Go ahead, procrastinate a little.

We're all about St. Patrick's Day: the soda bread, the potatoes, the corned beef and cabbage.

We just can't get behind the green beer.

Some things just go together -- and the obvious accompaniment to food is drink. Welcome to Booze52, in which we explore all manner of libations that do much more than just wash down a meal. 

You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more. This week, in honor of all things Bond, we're discussing our favorite classic cocktails -- shaken, stirred, and otherwise.

Every week, a DIY expert spares us a trip to the grocery store and shows us how to make small batches of great foods at home.

Today, AntoniaJames talks homemade nut milks. After reading her step-by-step instructions and easy, adaptable recipe, you'll never go back to the box again.

12 desserts and drinks to commemorate the reason we all really watch the show: cheering and jeering the evening's fashion choices.

Mulled wine gets the sangria treatment -- and stops mulling the booze away.
