TC Road Trip(ping) - General Tiki

Several times throughout the night, the exotic music and fragrant elixers drifted into my head and I thought I could open the door, walk a few steps to the water and take a swim. No water here though, uness you like trout fishing. I was in the mountains of eastern GA at a fantastic little place known as the Kon Tiki Paradise Room. Basement Kahuna and his Queen have created a fantastic hideaway, filled with treasures from the past and guarded over by an imposing collection of Tikis. I could not have imagined a better host and hostess. Each drink was served with cheer and was as delicious as it was powerful. I left late, believing that I could have stayed until sunrise. Maybe next time. That's the press release version: Here's the truth... Kahuna is a fraud - he didn't use REEEEEEAL pimento liquer - he used his homemade stuff. (I have to make some now!) I got to sample the Hale Tiki signature drink: It was superb, spicy and will certainly please. The garnishes were just right - the guy has everything set up just the way it should be. Great prep. As you can see by the "warriors prepare" photo in BK's "evolution" post... we were instant kindred spirits and I look forward to reciprocating their kindness. That other photo though - sheesh - I look like Peter Ustinov playing the "geeky fat clown" in an Elvis movie. There goes my modeling career. Looking forward to returning and hope that the warm vibe I felt there wasn't just the Rhum St. James. I got to check out the carving sanctum as well. I tried to pocket a giant rail post but got caught. Darn splinters. Mahalo, Kahuna. I owe you 'Ai'e.
