Leaving Kansas

We had a morning flight out of Kansas City.
So I loosened up with a couple of margaritas at our favorite cantina.

We had a layover in Chicago. So, I jammed down to Midway’s food court and picked up a real Chicago hot dog from Gold Coast. Heaven! This is an Italian sausage with onions, peppers and mustard. Hold the ketchup!

In Long Island, we took my Auntie out to Sundried Tomato for her birthday. She loved these Prince Edwards mussels with the garlic cream sauce.

This place served up some yummy steamed clams as well.

And we adored the vodka pizza with fresh mozzarella cheese and prosciutto.

Drinking after Midnight


Our SF buddy Tom mailed out some quality Absinthe to us. We heart Tom!
This is the Absinthe Suisse: La Bleue Clandestine, mixed with water. It tasted so smooth, with a hint of licorice.

A Late Start in Lawrence


We headed to Lawrence for breakfast. I was in the mood for something light — so I ordered this yummy breakfast frittata from Wheatfields.


Later, we did books and tea at the House of Chai. This is a pot of iced green tea.
