It's bike to work day! Motor-bike, that is.

It rained for almost 2 hours this morning. What a crappy Friday it's been.

Har har.

Sad thing is, looks like it's still cold back home, and I leave tomorrow.

In St. Petersburg, Florida. A fun way to get out of the sun for a few hours.

Has anyone seen it? I've got birds chirping in the back yard but that's about it.

A chorizo burger with a fried egg on top.

Don't judge me.

Not sure why, by the last two pages of this report came out in some weird language.

Nothing like a Seabreeze to usher in the weekend.

Actually, these are closer to a Dutch Punch, since I made them with gin, and reduced the cranberry juice to one ounce. I've left out the cassis.

Seabreeze:

- 1 1/2 oz vodka
- 4 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz grapefruit juice

Serve over ice in a highball glass.

Dutch Punch:

- 1 1/2 oz gin
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz creme de cassis

Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.

Finished climbing at GRR, and we've settled in at BeerTown for snacks.

Just finished smoking. Now to hang and dry for three weeks. Not sure I can wait that long.

It's supposed to be flat, but lost its shape hanging in the smoker.

Something sweet for the end of the week.

- 1 1/2 oz gold tequila
- 1/2 oz Crème de banane
- 1/2 oz Galiano
- 1/2 oz Amaretto

We've instituted a theme week for drinks, if we ever get around to making them. This week, we're doing drinks made with Crème de banane, as a bit of a challenge.

Personally, I'm tempted to add a little lime juice to round out the cloying flabbiness of the drink, but R seemed to like it.

Remember, 'sour, sweet, strong, and weak'. This drink's missing some sour.

Update: R has decided she doesn't like this drink. Or banana liqueur.
