Rumspiration – A Spirit*ual Journey. A tiki a wiki. This posting is completely different from any other I have written – no recipes, no pictures, essentially a list of rums and nothing more.

a tiki a wiki

This installment of the luxurious time I spent at the Miami Rum Festival has to do with the rums I experienced, and my immediate and brief thoughts on them. Out of the large roster, some rums I knew of very well, some I have on my shelves at home, some I have heard of, some I have not, and a special few bottles I have waited a long time to see. I did not taste every single rum, nor stopped at every booth, either because I knew enough, or simply did not have enough time. Also, I did not taste every rum at each booth for the sheer reason of keeping my head and not getting so inebriated I could not discern fact from fiction.

Sennit

It can be used ornamentally in crafts, like a kind of macrame, or to make straw hats. Sennit is an important material in the cultures of Oceania, where it is used in traditional architecture, boat building, fishing and as an ornamentation.[1] Oceania[edit] A sacred god figure wrapping in sennit for the Tahtian war god 'Oro.

Convivial pursuit Harry Owens' recipe for a mai tai By Scott Vogel Star-Bulletin EVERYONE REMEMBERS the opening scene of "Citizen Kane," when dying media mogul Charles Foster Kane whispers his final word, "Rosebud," his hand letting go of a glass snow globe, which promptly falls to the floor and bursts into a million pieces. What is the origin of this cryptic utterance, we wonder, as if solving the mystery of Rosebud might explain the life of the brilliant and tortured Kane.

I've often thought about the personal ramifications of this scene, and specifically my mother's presumed final moments, when her own glass shatters on the floor, a perfectly good paper umbrella destroyed in the process, a maraschino cherry rolling away from the scene.

The essential nature of Tiki is that it is so much more than just the drinks. Tiki is an experience. It can take you away from who and where you are, and give you permission to be someone else. Tiki.pdf. Tales of the Cocktail 2012: Willie Mae's, Stephen Crane, William Grant. With the spectacular Ode to the Bowl event hosted by The Spare Room still fresh in most of our memories from the previous night, it was time for the serious business of the first official day of the 10th Annual Tales of the Cocktail.

Tales of the Cocktail 2012: Willie Mae's, Stephen Crane, William Grant

I don’t know about other attendees, but for me this year’s Tales didn’t begin with a seminar or a tasting room, it began with “America’s Best Fried Chicken.” That’s what it says on the menu at Willie Mae’s Scotch House, and it’s a claim that’s backed up 100%. Willie Mae Seaton first opened her small corner restaurant as a bar in the 1940s, before she started serving her famous fried chicken. Seaton has passed the secret recipe to her great-granddaughter Kerry Seaton, who now helms the stoves at Willie Mae’s.

After hopping in a cab with Dave Stolte (Home Bar Basics) and Matt Robold (RumDood), we arrived at the beloved Treme neighborhood eatery just before it opened at 11am.

The Way We Ate: Too Old to Tiki?

The drinks earned praise from Craig Claiborne for their “unrivalled potency.” In 1994, Ruth Reichl announced that New York had outgrown tiki bars. Her review of Gauguin, a French-Polynesian fusion palace that briefly occupied the basement of the Plaza Hotel, ended on the image of two exiting customers: a delighted child and her somber father. He was somber, perhaps, because he had had to foot the bill in a restaurant that paid rent to Donald Trump. Trader Vic’s: Rediscover E’ville’s most celebrated bar. When I moved to Emeryville years ago, I considered Trader Vic’s an overpriced restaurant chain for out-of-towners celebrating their anniversary.

Trader Vic’s: Rediscover E’ville’s most celebrated bar

It just seamed dated and tacky and it wasn’t very visible, nestled away in a nook of the Marina neighborhood. I was also put-off by the imposed valet parking despite having an ample lot. I even dismissed Trader Vic’s as unqualified in a recent poll asking what the best Emeryville Bar was (Prizefighter won handily) because of it being an International chain.
