Another Goodbye @ Atria

The end of the summer is coming. It is obvious. The exit is starting. Last night, for example, I attended another goodbye event.

A small group met at Atria to cheer our friend off. We had a grand time, though the service was less than perfect and my caipirinha was not anything to write home about. However, I will write about a real Caipirinha for your information. A caipirinha is a Brazilian drink made with Cachaca, a sugar cane alcohol from Brazil, that is considered part of the rum family, though it is a light color like vodka and gin and its base is not molasses like most rums, but rather sugarcane juice. It is amazing in a Caipirinha. The drink at Atria (downstairs) was a raspberry Caipirnha. The traditional Caipirinha is far more refreshing because you can actually taste the Cachaca without distraction.

On another note: my foie gras was fine. The link sited for foie gras will not encourage you to try it, but will educate you on what it is and how it is produced. It is a French delicacy that may not be something France is proud of (but then again, they may be…. who knows?), but can everyone be proud of everything?

But the biggest question is: where on-Island can I get a real Caipirinha? Anyone know?
