Weekend Update



Tonight you won't find me at 50 Plates or behind the bar anywhere else. Nor will you see me pouring beers and shaking cocktails on Saturday. Instead, I'm taking a long overdue vacation to Palm Springs. I won't be blogging while I'm gone, and, to be honest, I probably won't even be checking emails or answering my phone. I'm going to sit on the edge of the Salton Sea, do a little fishing and just relax for a while. Perhaps a good hike or two at Joshua Tree will do me some good as well.

I posted a picture of Isaac from the Love Boat because he is my favorite fictional bartender of all time. I actually read a pretty funny top 10 list of fictional bartenders that you can read here. I think Isaac deserved more than honorable mention, but thats just my opinion. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Sunday, I'm driving over to Temecula to do some wine tasting with my friends Jason and Grace. I'm particularly fond of Hart and Thornton, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wine in Temecula.

I just had some punch recipes published in this weeks edition of the Portland Mercury. You can check them out here.

Its also looking like I might get a chance to collaborate again with one of my favorite Portland chefs. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but this should be very very cool.

Lastly, I've agreed to facilitate a couple of cocktail classes as items for upcoming Holiday Charity auctions for a couple of worthy charities. If you are interested in either me donating some more of my time for a good cause that you might be aware of or if you are interested in bidding or which charities I'm supporting, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to share all of the pertinent details.

I'm rolling out of the office right now and going home to pack. I'm turning off the old cell phone, taking my watch off and heading for vacation. No deadlines, no conference calls, no crazy calls in the middle of the night. See you all when I get back.

For this reason players have a tendency to be tempted to get Gold WOW through safe web internet sites. Unless you will be an achieved player, accumulating the Gold for WOW you will need could possibly be a frustrating procedure.

  When you're graduation through university, will not you need to appear because nothing you've seen prior? Nicely, I am certain whatever you females like to liven up and appear your very best all the time, however graduating needs to be unique. Colours for example whitened (most widely used), light yellow-colored, gentle eco-friendly, azure, red, peach, grey click here, dark, metallic, lilac, and so on., tend to be a few tones you are able to decide for the actual graduating gowns with regard to university. The colour whitened or even off white is actually most favored within graduating gowns with regard to juniors, to keep a particular uniformity one of the ladies through the wedding ceremony.
