Yes no fake rum like Bambu et al. Rum without additives like sugar, glycerin, flavorings etc. no cocktails in a bottle.

Agreed the bandAid thing is not mind as well. I tend to gravitate to the Highlands selections mostly drinking bourbon and real rum these days

I’ve been a member of the green coffee buying club since it’s inception. Usually buy 15# of a bean at a time

I’ve been using a Gene roaster recently. Make a decent roast but takes way longer and maybe longer than what is advised for the best outcomes. I’m still trying to find my way in modifications on temps and time to achieve the best flavor

@Franci what a labor of love ❤️ Everything looks fantastic

two ryes that I’ve purchased recently are Driftless Glen and Wilderness Trail. Our group bought single barrels of each and they are delicious. More pickle juice flavor in each but in a very good way I'm enjoying these neat sorry these are not in handles wrong thread

Had a hankering for some oxtails late at night and had a package in the freezer. Braised them in a bottle of red wine with few cloves of garlic until tender then removed, chilled and pulled meat from bones and reduced the wine down by about 3/4 to yield a concentrated reduction. Next day caramelized sliced onions until brown, reheated the meat in the wine reduction then built a sandwich on ciabatta using some tomato jam that has been waiting for something to happen. Not the prettiest of pictures but it sure hit the spot

Wife’s away so it was time to make shrimp. Super simple grilled shrimp with corn, peppers and cabbage sauté

I think you’re there

Wouldn’t we all

Right there with you Nicolai hummus without out garbanzos is dip. And I like good old hummus. Just do it well if you want to excel

Im sure I’d be a security risk after that

https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/liquids-rule I’ve traveled with a quart bag filled with 3oz sample sized bottles filled with my favorite spirits many times without an issue. Didn’t even have to take them out of my carry on. Although I usually do just to show compliance

The only thing still growing in my herb garden is rosemary. It’s like a hedge, it’s hard to kill.

Equilibrium brining eliminates the chance of over brining due to time in the solution. So it’s the best way to brine IMO as well.
