was it the "knickers off" concoction? if so I'm surprised you were able to sit upright! LOL
Oh, heck no! I cannot be trusted to make that. And when I drink it I have to be no more than ten steps from the place I will sleep that night!
Which is what makes it great, I think.
The Pia household barkeep is really quite an expert!

I think the Pia barkeep might have found it odd that we only texted when we needed a drink recipe or to make the music go!
The FUNNIEST part of the "making the music go" is that my mother, the most senior member of the group at 60 something, figured it out!

Your reports are awesome - I can't wait for the next one! I went to STJ with a girlfriend and it was a lot of fun - going back with the husband and adult kids - they are tired of hearing me talk about it and want to see it for themselves.

This may not be true every day, but once she told me she was frying using bacon fat (I had told her it smelled like breakfast there that day).
If you understand the significance of a phrase like that, well then I need say no more...

That Vies chicken, there is no other. Each time I go back I like it more. I can smell it now.
Thanks for the TR's!

I just want to say that I think Vie's is horrible . Never, EVER would I reccomend anyone going there!
I definitely did not spend the best day of my STJ life I've ever had on her beach snuggled under the sea grape tree.
I hate her savory, crispy-then-melt-in-your-mouth garic chicken and sticky warm honeyed johnny cakes.
And those darned chaise lounges on the beach- well, what a friggin' inconvenience!
Huh.
Don't go there. Ever. S'terrible.
