Our mission this 4th of July was to celebrate Island Style! We set off early in search of all the ingredients for the Blue Hawaiian and Mai Tai drinks we enjoyed so much in Kauai. Safeway had most of the ingredients...but they didn't have the Blue Curacao or Orgeat Syrup that we so needed! So, we hit up Rikkers, George's, Papa's and a couple other liquor stores on the walk home...to no avail. It's kinda scary how many liquor stores there are within just a half dozen blocks of our place! So, we had to break down and make the trip to BevMo...giving up our prized parking spot...which someone pounced on the second we opened the car door. Dolores Park was packed with partiers...with people arriving as early as 10:30am with their picnic baskets. Nuts! Anyhoo...Bevmo had everything else we needed, and with that Adam whipped up some of the finest drinks we've ever had the luxury of sipping! We topped off the night with a trip to the roof for views of about 6 different fireworks shows...then it was time to sing a song and blow a candle out for our birthday cake from Tartine Bakery. Yummy!
