MEA weekend. Dale and I were supposed to go to Madeline Island but decided not to. Mostly because Dale's workload this past week was much higher than expected but also somewhat due to the wind advisories for tonight and tomorrow. We didn't want to risk the possibility of getting stranded on the Island.
We stopped by South Lyndale Liquors to pick up some wine for Dale but also some rum, falernum, curaçao, and orgeat for my polynesian cocktail. We also stopped by Kowalski's to pick up dinner makings.
After shopping Dale had an important phone call with Maggie. I lit up a cigar in the yard.
After Dale's phone call he brought Athena out to join me. She's such good company. As I've said a million times before, life's just better with a dog. Especially THIS dog.
Music during my cigar session included some Orville Peck but also It's Monster Surfing Time by the Deadly Ones. This one is full of freaky shrieks to accompany the classic surf music. Perfect for this time of year.
When I was done with my stogie Dale and I came inside for cocktails. I made my standard tiki cocktail which includes light rum, dark rum, curaçao, falernum, orgeat, and club soda. I used the tiki mug I got for free from the liquor store for buying a bottle of Plantation rum. I love this mug. It fits perfectly in my hand and feels good to hold.
Pumpkin pie for dessert. We only picked up half a pie at Kowalski's but there's still enough for tomorrow!
Evening walk with Athena.
Great day.
