Sadly the restaurant is no more, which is really a shame. But I've got a huge mint plant in my front yard so don't cry for me.
Ernest Hemingway
Small handful mint leaves
Ice
Rum
Cola
Wash mint leaves and place in a glass. With a muddler or spoon, gently crush leaves to release their oil. Add ice, one ounce of rum and top the glass up with cola.
Drink with someone you love. Or like.

It's GONE???? *weeps*
I hate mint in food, but for some reason find it irresistible in alcocholic beverages. I LOVE mojitos, I love Coke, could I perhaps have found a new alcoholic lovah?
The Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins sound fantastic, from the name and picture alone. I sometimes add a little corn and a chopped jalapeño pepper to a corn muffin mix to make them more interesting, but this recipe looks like the real deal. I'll have to find the book.
Morgan - here, have a tissue. Yes, sadly it's gone. I heard they were going to re-open somewhere else, but as far as I know that hasn't happened.
Bethiclaus - if you like rum you'll LOVE the Ernest.
Terry - Thanks!
Well, at least Moroccan Castle is still around. Some days you just need a b'stilla (chicken in phyllo with icing sugar and nuts. Yum!).
I've never heard of them! Are they downtown?
WOW. So simple, and yet, Ive never encountered it. Thank you SO much! (And that Hemingway is my favorite writer is a bonus.)
No, they are in West Hillhurst, or were last time I looked! 19th street, between Kensington Road and 5th Ave. The two restaurants were very similar. Both very, very tasty.
