We debated the merits of SPF 75 vs. SPF 90 for the Rally.
I was out on the east coast for work last week, and so Jessie and I met up in New York. Her friend Josh was kind enough to host a rooftop get-together at his place in the East Village, just two blocks from my old apartment there. Josh is a stand-up guy, is moving to LA soon to work for Marketplace, and makes a great drink dubbed the Greyhound Royale. To make one:
Greyhound Royale
- Start with a short glass filled 2/3 with ice.
- Squeeze out a 1/8th wedge of (FRESH!) pink grapefruit and
- A small wedge of lime in to the glass.
- Discard the fruit rinds.
- Fill to the top of the ice with a nice vodka (Josh likes Luksusowa).
- Top off with a splash of soda. ←This is the “Royale” step.
- (optional) Spill this drink on the ground/a friend several times and make another one.
Monique and Josh at Shabu Tatsu
Once it got dark, Jessie and I headed out to shabu shabu nearby with Josh and his friend Monique aka Honeybird. All in all a delightful evening. Jessie and I had plans to meet up again before I left, but unfortunately she took ill. She’s better now.
The first Northern US Regional Creeping Blandness Prevention Group Meeting was a success. I’m looking forward to the summer.
