Yesterday's all-day travel was very tiring. I am now onboard ship. Took a lovely little nap out on the private balcony. The ship is expected to sail at any time.

Nicky has calmed down and is now doing fine. He actually sent me a photo to my iphone.

The weather must be nice if you napped on the balcony

Absolutely great news about Nicky

Ditto!!

Good morning.

This is for JRand and Cillaliz. An interesting article about Juror Number 17:

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/mesa/2015/03/21/jodi-arias-trial-juror-treatment-raises-questions/25109059/

Good article. I hope they truly investigate whoever released the juror's name. That is a crime. If you have to have police protection and hire a lawyer, why would you ever stand up for what you believe against the other jurors. Scary time for our criminal justice system

DR vixmom, do you have any idea about your Manhattan time? Dinner with you would be a lovely way to spend some of my day.

I say it's always time for a Manhattan. But I'm having a Negroni right now.

Manhattans and Martinis are my #1 favorite cocktails. Ironically, for all their traditional simplicity, they're the most adventuresome to order because in most jernts you never know what you're going to get. In a way, no two are alike, in spite of what you specify or don't specify when ordering. Hell, no two of my own are exactly alike, and you'd think I'd have it down to a science.

(DR John G. - does that make sense? I'm sure you know what I mean, though I could probably have expressed it better.)

Anyway, that was just rambling preamble leading into the point of my post, which is: I didn't mention this at the time, either to DR Elmore or to our waiter, but the Manhattan I had at the Brooklyn Diner the other night was Perfection in a Glass. All I knew was that I was getting a Makers Mark one, which is totally fine, but it's still all in the mixing, and the result was sublime. Why is it that this always seems to happen when I must deny myself a second, lest I end up watching a show while trying not to fall into the aisle?

Just something to mull over as I sip this 1783, the ridiculously low-priced "small batch" bourbon from Evan Williams...

The bourbon sounds good!

Watching Keith's reaction to the martini's he orders I get it. Try ordering a proper Old Fashioned

I hope all is well! Great news about the BK nomination and the WAGON recording!

Later folks!

Wonderful to hear from you.. BON VOYAGE!!!

Well, I just popped in, in between the speed through of "Laughing Stock" (not everyone was there, but we got through some scenes that needed some extra going-through) and the rehearsal and dinner for "In a Dark, Dark House."

George · « **Reply #126 on:** March 22, 2015, 05:55:32 PM »

And now, I must be off to "IaDDH." I'm excited to be able to see this. I'm sure that it'll be very intense and good.

Until later!

Yes! That might be the most notorious of them all. Been there, done it. When it's right, it's sublime, but you pays yer money and you takes yer chances.

Jumping on the bandwagon to say I like the book plates, too.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #130 on:** March 22, 2015, 06:07:07 PM »

And I'm very glad to hear that TCB's voyage (not a "trip", a "voyage"!) is off to a good start, and that Nicky is content. All is well.

So where do we get the book plates, maybe we can get a discount

Most bartenders make something that should be called a watered down "new" fashioned. They haven't a clue how to make a proper old fashioned.

I am home from Artie's, where I had a wonderful time with the lovely DR vixmom. She had a pastrami reuben, I had pastrami on rye (yummmmm!!!) and we shared some potato pancakes.

I'm sorry, but there were no photos and no risque stories, just good times.

I perfectly understand you. You order a martini and they make with something unwanted like vodka instead of perfectly perfect gin. And the vermouth can make it all go haywire.

I had a very lovely dinner courtesy of dear Elmore and there was enough left over that I will also have avert lovely lunch tomorrow. I don't know fron manhattans or Martinis but my chocolate egg cream was perfection in a glass IMHO

Chas , Artie's pastrami Reuben was open faced and piled with at least a lb of beautiful lean pastrami with Swiss and just the right amount of sauerkraut I had the Russian dressing on the side and barely used it as the sandwich was so delicious that the dressing detracted from, rather than enhancing , the flavor.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #142 on:** March 22, 2015, 07:04:20 PM »

Oh man, that's when it's perfect. When you don't need or want the dressing, or more than just a touch of it.

Watching Angela Lansbury sing some Sherman Brothers songs in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." Haven't seen it in years. Love it, perhaps not as much as I did as a kid, but the songs certainly help make it fun.

A song cue if ever there was one!

I’ve hopped bar to bar
Quickly spending a pile and
Dropped into some quaint honky-tonks
I’ve had a martini out in Staten Island
A crème de menthe in Southern Bronx

Went borough to borough
The expense wasn’t minor
But I gladly spent my meager means
For the Manhattan I had at the Brooklyn Diner
Was the envy of all here in Queens
