A Drinker Must Write

Great veggies, cool hats

Fermenting radish with koji.

Eating tomatoes

Staycation

We don’t know anything really
But we have seen a helluva lot
And our lives they tell stories
That all end in The same spot

Follow my heart
Is what you taught me
But the lungs they want the work
So I do a lot of walking
And All it does is hurt
Tried listening to my body
Wish I couldn’t hear it talk

Hyperventilating news cast
The quickly forgotten past
Lost feeling in the extremities
Where did I leave my glass?

I quit the YouTube
and the b**b tube
And the Facebook and the ass Book
I’m doing voodoo on the bayou
and soaking in the tub
If the earth spins any faster
I might not get back up

Irish Jam

Heirloom tomatoes from
New batch of meatball sauce

The plan was that we would have several rent free months this winter to close up while our new landlord built a hotel upstairs. Meanwhile, Suzanne had an opportunity to take a post out of town for Jan. & Feb 2025. Since we were to be closed, she made the commitment.

Now, our landlord has backed out and the construction project is off.

Another thing that is off is our sales. A lackluster June has us thinking we won’t be able to afford to close while we are gone. Therefore, the time has come.

We are seeking a successor to take over our lease. The terms are excellent, and include free heat and more than seven years remaining at below market rates.

If you or someone you know is interested in a low cost, low risk entry into the restaurant business, we will be happy to talk ~ outside of Sundrop business hours, of course. Please email [email protected] with serious inquiries.

While we remain open, we will be celebrating all the goodness of our local food systems, Suzanne’s excellent cooking and each other’s friendly dinner conversation. Naturally, while we are all enjoying ourselves, please understand, we don’t intend to ruin our good fun with talk of “business” at the bar. I am a bartender, host and server keeping the mood light while we are open and the “business owner” only when we are closed.

How long we remain open is unknown. So, we will appreciate every moment and hope you will join us soon.
