Fourteen years ago…

Sharmila and I were sitting exactly on these same bar chairs (at Liquid in Hilton Head Marriott) drinking red wine, watching a NFL game on the TV they temporarily set up while keeping an eye on Niki and Tasha on the beach.

Pretty much the same thing today. Except NFL, we are watching college football and Nikita is with her friends on the beach instead of her sister. Also, they do not need us to keep a watch on them!!

For all you Old Fashioned lovers…

maybe I should have written it as all you lovers of the cocktail named Old Fashioned…. 🙂

If are ever in downtown San Fran, do go to the bar inside The Clancy Autograph collection hotel and ask for Fortunato. And then ask him to make you his signature Old Fashioned.

His variations include using maple syrup instead of simple syrup and orange bitters instead of usual bitters. Finally, he smokes it by burning hickory chips.

DELICIOUS!!

What are these?

Do you know what these are? Fifteen minutes before landing in San Francisco (coming from the east), there were vast stretches of colored something below us. You can see the clean delineation between the red patch and the white patch. I could not even figure out whether they were liquid bodies or solid.

Do you know what they might be?
