Enjoying a Tidal Wave tonight.

Coconut rum, blue curaçao, amaretto, lime juice, coconut cream, and sugar.

Hmm. A little too sweet for me. A high-summer cocktail. But we’re getting there. It’s finally too warm at night to wear my winter bathrobe. So, into the closet it goes.

Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday night.

But I followed the bar book recipe.

If I try it again, I’ll take your advice.

Oh well, it's only game 1. Even IC Light didn't help.

The Pens need to bounce back in game 2 to avoid an 0-2 hole with two games in Philly looming.
