My friend who died last year had a son and I had not heard from him since around the time of the funeral. Yesterday, he stopped by and brought me a Christmas card and a bottle of the brandy that his dad liked. He remembers me and his dad occasionally sitting back after some particularly challenging "printing business" and having a gentlemanly sip of good brandy.
It was quite a surprise to see him!
I made some special coffee (extra thick and oily) and I'm having a hearty cup with too much sugar, a dollop of heavy cream, brought together by a spot of aromatic brandy.
Delicious!
