I enjoy rum above other spirits and there was a surprising rum tasting / dinner thingy.  Sooooo poorly attended that me and my older son basically sat at a table with three ladies that work in the industry...learned a lot from them and also the head chef only had us to deal with...LOL.  Odd but delicious experience.

Here's a picture of Sleeping Lady mountain for you to peruse while eating your Sleeping Lady pizza. Directly across Cook Inlet from Anchoage.

I think the sleeping lady referred to, is our very own Mount Tamalpais.

Or as roadside america calls the statue

"Giant nude woman"

Forgot to take pics of the rest of our lunch but corn nuts and tempura fried zucchini with blue cheese tomato fonduta (sauce) and pea shoots were a very good start.

Deck Brunch

With entertainment provided by a bunch of tiny territorial flying dinosaurs amped up on sugar.

We took a much needed break from the heat to go visit Vancouver for the first time.  Lovely city.

Been staying home for the past couple days to do a coding challenge today.  So today was rice day, apparently -- Right Rice, and Uncle Ben's, both Spanish rice varieties.  (Not my usual super-spicy comfort food, but super-easy on the stomach, which is what I was looking for.)
