As much as we work hard in the hood to do everything we can to enjoy the Jazz Fest; it's a time of highs and lows, wet and dry, and there's no predicting surprises that may come your way. After a not too pleasant surprise one day, I wanted to do something nice for myself. I asked: What would make me happy? For some strange reason, the answer was a kir.
With summer on the way and memories of wines at the wagon at the Chatette, I was on a mission...find some cassis.
I set off on foot with my backpack-ready for a big bottle, but if not a small one would do. I stopped first at the corner store, then Terranova's, and Canseco's; all with no success. I was undaunted. Cafe Degas is across from Canseco's. Surely, they would have some cassis. I was in luck-but for a price of course. At that point, all I wanted to do was take my plastic cup a third full with 2 shots of cassis, and get home so I could sit on my front porch, kir in hand, and pretend France. It's a good thing I have a vivid imagination.
