The picture is of the car I want to buy and drive back to Atlanta.  I’m not going to, but I am going to imagine I am for at least another two weeks. Trent found this  Cadillac for me, but I told him it wasn’t my style. He says caddy’s are everyone’s style.

In hopes of taking some of SF with me, I just hit up Absinthe for the Ricotta Dumpling recipe.  They gave me the high-hat instead.  I am not going to quit so easily though.   They did tell me that Rob, their maestro bartender from a couple years ago, is now selling wine in New York.   His talents aren’t being completely wasted though, since he has written a Book on Cocktails that will be out in October.  It’s to be published by Chronicle Books.

Rob, who I know from 5 months of  pre-flight Thursday night drinks at Absinthe, is Bartender-at-large of this website.   This book should be good.

One more thing about Absinthe: They really have the best hamburger in the world. The one they made me this afternoon was the best burger I have ever tasted.   I know that sounds like Hyperbole but its not. I thought I was past surprise in this matter, but apparently I am not.
