Just got a dedicated fridge for fragrances.  May sound a little odd, but fragrances is a little bit of a collectable for us.  Those who are serious or have a decent dollar amount invested often store their fragrances in a fridge.  Finally got around to buying one for ours.  We are big into Frederic Malle or different Arabic brands of fragrances.

 

 

 

What storage do you suggest for Hai Karate?

We started our kitchen renovation May 22 - hopefully we will be back up and running next week. It's been a long month washing dishes in the tub and microwaving food

 

Any updates, how'd you turn out? This is our second kitchen remodel - we also did one in our last house (2016) and have done custom cabinets both times, and it seems there is always a trim piece or two that they forgot to make or need to remake that sticks out like a sore thumb!

Great looking kitchen! Will post some progress pics of the reno soon. They've finished all the cabinets, just waiting for the handles, stone and plumbing electrical work that should be completed next week.

I’m guessing this isn’t in the US...our current electrical code doesn’t allow a situation where you could have one hand under running water, while plugging an appliance in with the other.

Love the cabinets....quarter-sawn mahogany?

Interesting.  I am in the US, and I recently did a kitchen renovation.  I could easily reach the outlets from the faucet.  You cant see the outlets because they are hidden under the cabinets, but there are outlets on both ends of all cabinets.  You can see in the picture below that I can reach the end of the cabinets with one hand under the faucet.  This was not an issue on inspection.

Your inspector probably realized you were intelligent enough not to....haha.

Interpretation of building code is much like interpretation of the Bible....and inspectors are afforded the final say, so it’s often a crap shoot.

Seattle, WA USA.  I believe outlets within 6ft of water source must be GFCI protected, and maybe you aren't allowed to put one within 24" of a water source? Cabinets are quarter-sawn Khaya (African mohogany)

Here’s what I’ll be doing this weekend...I’m on the island in solid blue...the one with the ominous black “H” nearly on top of it. I don’t think Sunday’s going to be a very good cigar day.

Ive been through a few myself and know firsthand what they are all about.  

Stay safe and good luck!

Our first concert since this COVID crisis started. It was for a charity that feeds starving children.  The band was The Chainsmokers, and I knew my daughters liked them a lot, plus it was for a good cause, so I donated.  They gave each car a 15x20 foot box to stay in, and each box was 6 feet away from the next box.  As long as you were in your box, you didn't need to wear a mask, but if you left your box, a mask was required.  It was pretty cool how they pulled it off.  

The space came with a cooler full of alcohol, which was nice.  And everyone around me was smoking cigars, so I drank from the cooler, and smoked a Cohiba, and had a great night.  It wouldn't have been my first choice of bands to see, but I see a lot of bands I don't want to particularly see for my kids, and I usually don't get to smoke and drink while I am there, so this was a far better experience than most of the other concerts I take them to see.  Plus, it's not like there is a huge assortment of live entertainment these days.

Oh, and just to remind us that we are in The Hamptons, the opening act was the CEO of Goldman Sachs.  Apparently, he is a DJ in his spare time.  He goes by the name D-Sol (short for David Solomon)  My 10 year old asked me how long is he going to be up there.  I told her, "As long as he wants."

 I videoed clips of a few of the songs that I knew:

Played quite poorly but always enjoyable getting on Old Marsh.  Classic Pete Dye. 

Pete Dye was the best! Difficult 18s, high lip bunkers, long fairway bunkers and I see you captured his signature, look from the green to the tee and you won’t see any bunkers. Love it!

Stay safe out there brother.  I'm sure our turn in south Florida is coming up soon.

RIP! I have mixed feelings about his courses.  Harbor Town, hated it.  Mountain & Dunes at La Quinta, liked them because of how different the scenery was.  Stadium at Sawgrass, liked it for the history and allure. Medalist, Old Marsh, Loblolly, all love them.  A couple others I'm indifferent about but its no doubt he has a certain style.  I love the high lip bunkers (stacked sod sometimes which is an awesome look), undulating greens and quirky bottlenecks.  Most of his tracks are by no means easy but there is no doubt that he was an amazing designer.

I was actually just reading about how he would put high lip bunkers in the back left where good golfers would miss and shallow bunkers front right where average golfers would miss and some run up greens which could help average golfers. He wanted to make the course for everyone.

I stayed at the Omni on Amelia Island in February for a week where they have a Pete Dye track.  It was pretty narrow in places and some of the approaches felt like hitting into a sliver, with railroad ties and water everywhere. Challenging course.

Zombie punch made with BGReynolds mix. Worth it as this drink from scratch requires an enormously versatile bar.

my version of a singapore sling. 

2 oz gin, 2 oz cherry whisky, 3/4 oz amaro, half a lime. Dash of simple syrup and 3 to 4 oz pineapple juice. Wham

A baseball loving friend came over yesterday to celebrate opening weekend...I was going to make a mimosa this morning but I needed a little extra hair on the dog so I made a sparkling screw with a ERDM PC

Poolside Sunday....can’t be beachside in Greece, so we bring a little taste of it home with an Aperol Spritz during these hot SoCal weekends. Spice it up a little bit with a blood orange...PSD6 always hits right. Cheers, everyone #wutang

Very interesting! After playing some of his courses, I can definitely see that being the case. He certainly had an eye to make courses special and unique in their own right.

That's exactly how I feel about Harbor Town, which I did not like.  Every hole felt like you were hitting through a chute/tunnel, water everywhere with railroad ties lining lake beds, bunkers and certain fairways.  Challenging it was and I played terrible that day.  Probably another reason why I didn't like it HA!
