The one on the left is an oyster Negroni  (apparently made with oyster infused liquor)

 

Okay, and sorry, but this sounds absolutely disgusting.

 

Do you ever get over to the restaurant at the airport, Hangar B?  Or have you posted about it before (I guess it's mostly breakfast)?

I agree. Much worse than a dirty martini and looks nothing like a negroni.

 

Was negroni at least in quotes?

Oyster shell infused gin and vermouth is a thing, and it’s actually very nice.

Definitely on a menu (or as, as I don't see it on their menu now)...https://punchdrink.com/recipes/shuck-n-jive/

 

To me, a waste of perfectly good sherry and vermouth, and as far as the vodka goes, who cares? 

 

You know, it gets to the point where some of this shit is just silly.

 It said devils on the menu. I know that’s not the usual filling haha.

I have been there, but not for years. It’s pretty rare that we go out for breakfast. We all typically eat just toast, fruit, and/or yogurt in the morning.

It was on the daily specials drink menu, which I did not look at, so not sure, sorry.

Not disagreeing, but you could say that about a lot of weird alcohol mixers, right? Do we really need all those flavored rums floating out there in the world? Cucumber or chili pepper infused vodka? Or more traditionally, even a worm in a bottle of mezcal? Probably not, but maybe a marketing tool.  I know there is still a bottle of rum in my liquor cabinet that my husband and I bought on our honeymoon. We did not buy it for the excellent flavor, we bought it because it was in a bottle shaped like a policeman and we thought it was cool looking at the time.  It’s never actually been opened.

OMG that's the biggest fridge in the universe!  What brand is that?  Could we maybe see the inside?  I'd LOVE to have one like that.  I'd have to build a bigger kitchen though.......

It’s a Thermidor. Here’s the inside. Nothing in the freezer but ice cream and ice cubes. I brought the ice cube trays from home in case the house did not have any. I did not realize that there was this huge ice maker! 

 

 

And the fridge.  Nothing in there either except some yogurt, fruit, my nephew’s loaf of bread, and stuff to make coffee.  There’s also beer and wine for my husband and nephew (most of which will get hauled back home), and spindrift seltzer and Diet Coke for me (just the right amount for the time we have left here, because I am a planner like that).

 

So after saying we never go out to breakfast, we went out to breakfast in town yesterday, at the Captain’s Table. Nephew had pancakes

 

 

And husband and I both got a bowl with scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, cheddar and home fries 

 

 

The day was pretty foggy and windy, so no scenic pictures. Nephew wanted sushi for dinner, so we went to Bluefins in town.  Nephew had a whiskey sour (I think?), and husband had a sake martini

 

 

We were restricted as to what we could order by my nephew’s shellfish allergy, but they did a great job being careful about the order and customizing stuff as needed. It took a little longer, but he was really happy with everything he got to try. Left to right, there’s a spicy scallop roll, a bluefin roll, a mixed salmon, yellowtail and tuna roll, some crazy thing with spicy tuna and tobiko (he thought this was too sweet), and a toro roll. 

 

 

He also wanted to order the Oreo sushi roll for dessert

 

 

This basically tasted like a mint Girl Scout cookie.  One slice was enough though! 

One thing I have discovered about staying in this house is that the lighthouse next door plays trumpet music each day at 8am and 8pm through a loudspeaker. It always starts with the calvary charge, which was a bit jarring this morning!

That's a really excellent beer from Maine!

I'm putting that fridge on my dream list.  I LOVE the amount of space.  Ronnie said I'd have it full of jars of "crap" that would sit in there until the end of time. 

 

He's prolly right 🤣

Dream fridge for sure - especially around the holidays. My husband call our fridge door shelves "condiment hell." He can never find things but I can - and I consider the fridge my territory.
