Created by Vincenzo Errico from the New York City bar Milk and Honey, this is sort of a cross between a Negroni and a Gin Sour.
You muddle green grapes, pour ice, put in gin, campari, fresh lemon juice and sugar syrup. Shake well and pour in a old fashioned glass with ice in it. Garnish with red grapes.
After sticking with the first motorbike of my life for four years (to the day almost) and 21,000 miles, I finally got a new bike. Had a great experience with the Honda CTX 700 but this time went with a little more power in the Honda Rebel 1100. The feel of the ride and the sitting position are different and will certainly need some getting used to.
In the meanwhile, I need to find a name for this successor of Phoenix.
Thank you John Moore for pushing me to upgrade and finding this specific bike in the next state.
You may remember how Josh had taught me how to make unique ice cubes for Old Fashioned cocktails. That was Hooked Beaver Creek in Colorado.
This is Whitley hotel in Buckhead. Robb and I had settled down at the bar when I asked for my usual evening opener drink. The ice was fascinating. It had air bubbles streaking out as thin rays from one vertex of the cube!! Unfortunately, the folks at the bar were too busy and too excited about Atlanta being on the verge of winning the World Series for me to find out how they did it.
It looked fantastic, nonetheless!
Robb has always been a voice on the phone or a face on Zoom windows. Got to meet him first time since he was in Atlanta for work.
It was a great evening talking about how he convinced his mom not to make him eat tomato (by throwing up all over 🙂 ), his journey thru multiple industries, his adventures in mountain biking and the larger perspectives of life!!
After the “last” post of the cobbler from India, this is yet another tool that I remembered from early childhood in India. Before winter, these folks would come with this tool that can be best described to look somewhat like a big safety pin – made mostly of wood except it had a thick string on one side. And the guy would have a wooden thing in his other hand that looked like a dumbbell that he would hit the string with. This whole contraption was used to fluff up the cotton that would have invariably flattened out in the mattresses and quilts after many years of use.
People who grew up in India will definitely remember this. Did any other country use a similar looking tool?
In any case, do you know what is the English word for it? After a lot of research, I am still struggling. I have found at least what the guys who are in this profession are called. Want to take a guess?
