  1. Hunting time blog! A most enjoyable journey to join along again with - indeed. I can only guess that is your plate, Shelby - given the exorbitant volume of fries! 😛
  2. Often it prompts further discussion, regardless; it is certainly not a bad interview tactic. If I am hiring for a revenue generating role (which was mentioned above) and they tell me that a title is more important (responsibility, etc) then chances are they are not the right fit.
  3. All great choices. And I agree, higher aged statements can really impact that MSRP. Sometimes however you will run into really great deals to be found - recently picked up a 21 Glenfarclas for about $200 CDN from Alberta. Heard great things about Benromach - never tried. The Edradour is also elusive as it is not seemingly available here in Ontario. Enjoy, they should last you a couple months, at least
  4. Whenever I interview people, one question I like to ask them is "what's more important to you, a title or making more money" (more often than not, revenue generating roles). 99% of the time, if the person says title - they are not the right fit. At the end of the day, if someone is caught up in job titles, they are more concerned about their ego than they are in helping the company succeed. In your vertical, you could come up with something totally creative and unconventional; which is what I would most likely do.
  5. Worth noting; that either you showed some extreme self restraint or the distillery's had meager offerings with older age statements
  6. Always enjoyable to tag along for the ride
  7. I detest social media platforms in most; if not all forms. Twitter (or twatter, as I have fondly dubbed it) is at the top of the list, right beside instasham. I have however said for years, an EG chat would be pretty cool. Even a egullet discord server.....

    Dinner 2022

    Everyone was happy because you were practicing advanced voodoo for beginners...... dare they say a thing against that meal, in fear of a counter curse or you pulling out their sock puppet look-alike and start jabbing needles in every orifice! 😆
  9. Heard great things about Benromach - have yet to try them. I do like the region though. Currently open are a 15 year old Glenfarclas and Glenallachie.
  10. Thanks @curls - now I have to try to source some crazy artisanal French butter here in the Great White North....oy!
  11. There is still much hope.....https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/nov/20/the-secret-behind-britains-top-pasta-chefs-winning-dish-its-gluten-free-and-vegan Now; does he ship!?

    Wow....9 french fries....almost approaching double digits, there, Shelby. Living on the edge!!! 🤣 Love the oozy cheese sammy.
  14. Bigger in this case, is (also) better.
  15. *sigh of relief*.....your cave looked a little sparse 😛 Now with anticipation....which fabled distillery did you select!
  16. Either you were a very good boy and somehow had unreal self restraint, or you are waiting till the end to share your trip to one of Scotland's fabled magical elixir production compounds....
  17. When you crack the code, do share the cipher.
  18. Also will add - Schar makes some great deli style sourdough bread - but it is stupidly expensive ($6-7 / 6-8 slices).
  19. I really like the Promise brand. It is tougher to find in our area as not every Sobey's has it. Our main staple (I think Silver Hills makes it, though I might have been mistaken) is called 'Little Northern Bakehouse' - their 'whole wheat' version is quite good for a GF bread.
  20. Love this. Been wanting to get into growing micro greens for a while. Any suggested web resources for learning? Where do you order your seeds from? I think the kiddies would have a blast with this.

    Dinner 2022

    Thank you Kim. Good eye. I whisked one egg and used 1/2 of it as a binder for the fish patty - not wanting to waste anything, I fried the remainder in the pan that I used to toast the bun in and just threw it on top. Neutral'ish flavour, so it worked.
  23. He knows better. None of those would produce a nose worthy of what he is putting into them!
