Good morning Santa Cruz! Looking forward to spending more time with dear friends here in Santa Cruz.
Dreaming of summer! Finally, after days of rain, we have a little bit of sun to get us through until the next atmospheric river barrels through in a couple days.  wishing for warmth!

Exploring nonalcoholic drinks. Usually they are crap but these guys are onto something. It has healthy ingredients like lions mane, lavender, apple cider vinegar, and taste pretty good! I don’t know if it’s the marketing, but I feel more focused!! #nonalcoholic #solbru

It’s happening!
What have I gotten myself into?
#patriksstudio
Happy Friday! Help me name this new drink. I am a fan of the dirty martini, I like them extra dirty! I did a quick experiment using truffle and it turned out Fabulous! What name do you prefer? 1) Extra Dirty Truffle Martini ( a little boring but descriptive. 2) Dirty Pig Martini ( reference to how they find truffles ) or 3) Filthy Fungus.
Recipe: 1 part Olive brine
1 1/2 to 2 parts Hendrick Gin
1/2 pea sized portion of preserved minced truffle (nothing that has "truffle flavoring" )
3 drops Dry Vermouth (optional, I usually leave it out)
Shaken over chipped ice.
Garnish with olives.
Most recipes out there use truffle oil but this uses real truffle. Not fresh cuz that would cost a fortune, but preserved in a bare minimum of olive oil. Let me know what you think? Or maybe you have an even more better wonderful name. Let me know.
Studio remodel time!
Blast from the past! Good thing QuarkXPress is year 2000 compatible! Remember Y2k?
Good bye Omega! You will be missed.:-( #patriksstudio
