Posted on: May 8th, 2007 Cocktail: John Collins

Similar to a Tom Collins, a John Collins is made with bourbon. It’s an interesting summer drink, similar to one of my favorites, the Moscow Mule.

• 1.5 oz of Bourbon (I used Jim Beam)
• 1 oz of Lemon Juice (fresh squeezed or the bottle type)
• Pour into a glass over ice.
• Stir.
• Pour into a highball glass, over ice.
• Add an ounce or so of simple syrup. To taste, really
• Fill with club soda to the brim
• Garnish with circle of lime and a plastic monkey

Serve.

Posted on: May 4th, 2007 Photos and Google Maps

I’ve put small image presentations together of vacations.  I think it would be interesting to see, or to show, where I was/we were on a map, with pictures, when it happened.  A visual maplog, as it were.  Turns out, there are plenty of ways of getting there, as long as you have GPS and a digital camera
Some resources:

Garmin eTrex Venture CX Handheld GPS 

RoboGeo - Geocode Photos and Create Google Maps

Grazer, opensource software

OpenStreetMap, opensource  maps

Every once in a while I get the urge to purchase some fine, pop art.  I love Shag.

Mostly Lithographs or Glycee prints, because, well, I’m not rich.  Here are some of my favorite places.

I haven’t really understood suburban facination with the outdoor fireplace, but I can get behind this version, the Easter Island Chiminea:

He has big fire in belly from many, many Mai-Tai’s.  Get it, and other cool stuff, at the Tiki Farm
