Green Tea

Sen-Cha Green Tea in the photo but as much as I try to like it green tea just isn't my thing baby. I love black tea though and Tippy Yunan is my favorite.

Mimi's Spoon Collection

My grandmother, who I called Mimi when I was a child, had a collection of spoons. Here are a few of them in a glass that contained Electrovita, a mineral water that my grandfather drank while in the hospital. He died there, when my mother was seven, of what they now think was cancer.

Kids Fork & Spoon

These were used by my sons when they were infants. They are all now much bigger than me. Shot at my Studio in Seattle. No drink recipe this time.

Sticks or Bones?

My grape vines leave these little sticks in the yard that, from a distance, look like bones. Please click on it for the larger view, much nicer.

Lemon Squeeze.

LB Hammond and I are creating.

Find some fragrant lemons. Juice a half & add to a mixing glass partially filled with ice.  Then add an ounce of simple syrup & two and a half ounces of rye or bourbon. Shake, shake, shake... and strain into a cocktail glass.  Add a twist of orange peel & enjoy your Whiskey Sour.

Cold Day Hot Tea

Damn it's cold in Seattle today!  Have a cup of tea.

My Levis

It's snowing yet sunny in Seattle... why?

Old Fashioned Music

"The Average Bartender, despite the slanders of professional moralists, is a man of self respect and self possession; a man who excels at a difficult art and is well aware of it; a man who shrinks from ruffianism as he does from uncleanliness; in short, a gentleman..."

PEEPS!

I'm back and I promise I'll never leave you again.  You know there's no place like home.
