750 ml whiskey John made these at their Dad’s condo in Sarasota, FL and also at our rental beach house in Duck, NC. He usually made them just pouring stuff, and I measured as he poured [...] “Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express” Joseph Addison, quoted in Men’s Health, June 2007 Amen, brother. We were invited to Elli Krandel’s senior recital, where she played piano and sang. A four-year chorus student, she is very talented. I wish Elli had selected some more classical pieces — a few too many showtunes for me — but she performed them well, and she is a very lively, engaging performer. The Beautiful Land [...] Saw the movie, was good. Expected, eh. As parents of a dead child, we don’t enjoy seeing plays about dead children the day before Mother’s Day, but our friend Shannon Mayhall was in this production at the Drendel Ballroom at Sun City, Huntley, so we like to see her. We had the dinner + show [...] Weds. Repeat day. Breakfast at the Coast. Lunch at Haweli Indian buffet with some Sagebrush people. Good and too much food. With chai. Dinner at Coast Pub (Malt’s). First got Rickard’s Red. Ick. Might have been flat though. Got a Trad and it was not as good, so I think they just let their drafts go too [...] First to the hotel (Coast Edmonton Plaza) breakfast buffet. Not too fancy, but good, and cheaper than the Delta breakfast — although the Delta has salmon. I had oatmeal with nuts and slivered almonds, raisins, and prunes, a spoon of scrambled eggs (bit runnier than I like, but ok), lots of lovely fruit, two sausage [...] Staying at the Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel in downtown Edmonton. Not as fancy as the Delta but much more reasonably priced. Pros: Good downtown location |
