Asking “what if?” for a living, trying to think and act long-term (emerging tech security) • opinions mine, not guaranteed correct • rarely an expert, often an enthusiast • Internet ops since the 20th century • eternally curious • loved beyond comprehension; learning to relax • be kind • celebrate beauty • fear not • keep hope alive • SoCal 🌊
Made this — not a knock-off really, but was concocted in 2021 by Erik Adkins for the Slanted Door in San Francisco. I have to assume he knows about the genealogy of the name, so perhaps this recipe is an homage to the original. One of my cherries was a little sad.

Was surprised to find my room has a balcony, complete with sofa and chair and side tables — first time I’ve had that during a stay in Vegas. Pretty awesome view from 52nd floor of the Cosmo facing south.

“Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the compass points that would show us where to go, we bypass the nourishment that would give us succor. We miss the quiet that would give us wisdom. We miss the joy and love born of effortless delight.”
— Wayne Muller, Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives. (Bantam Press, 2000), p. 1.
