I stand corrected on the cola reference, although the flow of syllables feels familiar enough that I have to think I picked it up from somewhere besides my faulty mind. Fitting it in as a kind of root beer, yeah, I see where that's the right genre for it.

I'm startled by the correction about Hallowell's position. I must have gotten twisted around in how I viewed the review; I know ai was convinced your house was on the opposite side of the river from the restaurant, which was the reference point I used in figuring my mental map.

And I'm glad you do have the recipe posted. I didn't think to ask for it while visiting --- I would image my father would particularly like to try it --- and felt awkward following up on the thought, since I feel awkward about all sorts of minor things.
