One thing you can say about natural wine, it really does give us a remarkable array of colors!

Our hotel in Vancouver has a sign by the elevator with pictures of the room renovations in progress. But I'm really glad we have an unrenovated room. Why? Bathtub. I love a bathtub. We haven't even been here 48 hours yet, and I've taken 3 baths.

For someone who doesn't like baiju, I sure do end up at a lot of baiju bars. And have really tasty drinks in them. Hmmm...

My cocktail came with a cloud that rained into my drink. Now that is an unbeatable schtick!

I got a little fancy tonight, repurposing leftovers from recent meals into crostini to take advantage of yesterday's BOGO baguette.

I'm heading to Vancouver tomorrow for a few nights. Any recommendations on drinks/dinner/things to do? My partner will be a conference, so I'll have daytimes to myself.

State of the Martini, 1952 (according to the Los Angeles Times):

"the Martini is by far the most popular of mixed drinks, and Martini addicts are the biggest cranks in the world. Their fussiness knows no bounds.
Bartenders cater to their foibles as an attendant in a high-class lunatic asylum to the hallucinations of his charges."

Fun late afternoon on the Toronto Islands! Had a picnic, learned cool queer history about Toronto, saw the sunset from Hanlon's Beach. I was impressed by the people taking advantage of the clothing optional policy given a) the temp and b) so many damn mosquitoes.

It's interesting that the US kept the e given the simplified spelling movement and the dictionary wars of the early 1900s in the US.

Things that are right with the world - random low end hotel bars in middle America can make Negronis now. Things that are wrong in the world - Guns & Roses as Muzak on this plane.

Seeing a friend's list made me realize that made a massive oversight to leave nuclear holocaust off my own list! Like all other 80s kids I was permanently scarred by The Day After movie.

Bumping this for European day time. This is an old bottle, "drawn in 1983" and in a restaurant cellar for a long time. Maker is Pedro Domecq. @sevillatapas.bsky.social any insight into this?

Hey sherry folks, anyone know anything about this one?

That is some impressive miscategorization. Can you imagine expecting a liqueur and getting baiju instead?

I never thought I'd be a connoisseur of tote bags, but now that I do my grocery shopping on foot I turn out to have very strong opinions about what makes a good one for that purpose. When all I needed them for was store to car and car to door, it didn't matter at all.

WTAF was Microsoft smoking when they decided to break "auto-fit contents"? Table with 2 text columns and 11 number columns, and it makes the number columns so narrow they use two lines. What the fuck are we actually doing here?

For folks heading to @laworldcon.bsky.social, I've got a few program items! I'm most excited about my Friday Cocktail History of Worldcon, where I'll take people on a cocktail crawl through time and space as we visit past Worldcons and discover the drinks that those locations are famous for.

Recreating the Judgement of Paris with modern vintages. Super fun, and I had distinct preferences. But we tasted blind, so I don't yet know how my judgement compared.

Tomorrow we're going to an event where 100 bottles will be opened. So of course we had to open a few more tonight with dinner.

Today we went wine tasting in Niagara. Visited 4 wineries (Cave Spring, Mason, Malivoire, Hidden Bench) and brought 17 bottles home. Very fun, but a long slog back to the city.

Ooh, this is very exciting. I've wanted this for a while - right now I have all reposts off, but I know I miss a lot of good stuff that way. But it was that or not follow some people where I like their own posts. Now I can try turning reposts on for most people, see how I like that!

Hey Toronto folks! Do you want to learn to make better drinks at home? Or explore fun cocktail history while mixing and sampling? I'm going to be teaching a cocktail class at The Depanneur! Please come out if you're interested, or help share the word.

Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood Hugo Admin that voting for the @laworldcon.bsky.social Hugo Awards closes at NOON pacific time today. Not midnight. That's just about 4 hours from now, and if you email me at 11:58 am and tell me you don't know how to log in, I will be very cross.
