They're friends with the owners, and while I've been in for late-night drinks, I've never eaten there. Must change that next visit. Sounds like you're settling in nicely, and in a cute neighborhood too! How funny, my friends in Portland (with whom I stay when I visit) live across the street from Acadia.

Pink vodkas are always intriguing ESPECIALLY if they're "spicy" instead of sweet. :) Ooh, pink peppercorns sound like a great idea!

I feel like I was there having the meal with you, and I've never been to New Orleans (unfortunately)! Thanks for sharing this. The St. Charles sounds remarkable. How would you go about making your own pepper-infused vodka? I'm not familiar with the process. <blockquote> thanks Hilary- that's a grand compliment! I'm still pondering the vodka method. I'm thinking whole vs crushed peppercorns covered with vodka and then hidden away for awhile. Or maybe add a little heat to the situation to help additionally coax out pepper flavors (if I had a still that would be great for trapping the flavors that may escape as steam). Maybe if I'm lucky, pink peppercorns would tint the vodka? --McAuliflower</blockquote> I always love your descriptions.
