I always thought this would be great for a mudroom for those with doggies to clean! Jen, interestingly, I believe I’ve seen a fabulous porcelain enamel ‘mop sink’ available from Kohler.

I remember brandy alexanders being (in the 60s) the premiere "girly" cocktail. My mom dated a guy who ran "the Chiave Club" in our little town (little did I know he was mob-connected!), and I used to go there with her in the afternoons where the bartender would mix me up a light Brandy Alexander. In the same vein, a grasshopper (made with creme de menthe and a lovely shade of green) was a popular girl drink. Then there was the ever popular martini, tom collins, stinger, screw driver, and sloe gin fizz. Other tiki drinks: Singapore slings, mai tais (as previously mentioned by Tikimania), and scorpions.

I went to college back in the early 80s in Lenox! We went to Luau Hale all the time. That was my first taste of Asian food--well, the Americanized version, I'm sure. The Pu Pu Platter was to die for! And the puppy is TOO cute! Roxanne OMG! I went to college back in the early 80s in Lenox! We went to Luau Hale all the time.
