I enjoyed a fantastically stressful afternoon (by the way, you guys, did you know that smoking a pipe momentarily transports you away from all stress??? ;)puffy), therefore I am now enjoying a wonderful Texas spirit. This stuff is a real slugger, I quit drinking daily a while back, and now one tipple of this does me very well. I mix basically any whisky with water, let’s say a general ratio of 3/2 whisky/water, and I feel the practice is worthwhile. Anyhow, hope you fellows are doing well this [time of day you are experiencing right now], and keep up the good work.

goat hotpot?? That sounds awesome.
A lot of Chinese cuisine is governed by yin-yang principals.
Goat is considered warming/“heaty” and hence it’s a winter dish.

It’s a flavoursome stew cooked with ginger, herbs, leeks, dried shiitake mushrooms, water chestnuts and bean curd skin (Yuba).
And served with fermented bean curd (as a condiment). And chrysanthemum leaves.

All pretty strong flavours.

It’s also a Vietnamese favourite

Very cool, thank you for this information! That does indeed sound flavorsome, and I will endeavor to experience this once our northern-hemisphere winter rolls around.
