Joanne Hendricks specializes in "out-of-print, antiquarian and unusual" cookbooks, which happily extends into the drinking realm as well. And since we all know "Drink to your health!" or "To Jeremy and Claire!" or "To myself!" and so on and so forth, boringly, it's time to see how the elder half lives (lived) and toasts (toasted). For instance, we're partial to "Ho! stand to your glasses steady! 'Tis all we have left to prize. A cup to the dead already—Hurrah for the next that dies."
