    Found A Leak In My Jeep Radiator

    I was a little confused when I was looking for the leak when I was on the side of the road. I didn't realize I was looking for too small of a hole: Shiney new all aluminum replacement is installed:

    Apparently In Belgium...

    7.5% ABV is "low in alcohol": I'm moving to Belgium.

    Usquebaugh

    Anyone here familiar with it? Perhaps one of our members from Scotland? I'm interested in picking some up but the only brand I have access to is Usquebach, specifically these 2 bottles:

    Christmas Eve Fermented Grapes & Roast Beast

    We hosted a Christmas Eve party for some friends and family. It was my first time making roast beast (smoked pork rack) and it was fantastic: I pulled a few bottles from my cellar for the festivities. For an aperitif we had Niepoort 1997 vintage port: For dessert we had 2006 Chateau...

    My New Drinking Buddy?

    I set my glass of rum on the edge of the hottub this morning and by the time I got in and lit my pipe I caught this little guy trying to sneak a sip: A quick puff of breath and he disappeared somewhere into the landscaping rocks.

    Bucket List Check Off - Yuki Tokutomi Pipe

    I've had a pipe from her on my bucket list for some time. Several years ago I lost a bid on a billiard of hers from fishnbanjo's estate but now I have one that suits me better on the way. Some of you may have seen it on smoking pipes. Can't wait for this to arrive:

    A Dove Is Visiting

    This guy is apparently going to hang out on our back patio today: Poor thing must not be feeling well. A few sniffs from Fifi and now the dog is very protective of her:

    It's Time For The Annual Smoke & A Shiver Thread!

    I'm a late getting this party started but better late than never. I'm having some 10 year old Penzance for the first smoke in a bearded pirate skull meer by Yanik with a glass of A. de Fussigny Borderies cognac for tonight's stories: Tradition dictates we start with Poe's classic "The...

    Pretty Chicken Graph

    Yes you read the title correctly. I've figured out how to easily make stupidly goof smoked and BBQ glazed chicken thighs in my little backyard smoker. I couldn't do it so well if not for my ChefIQ wireless thermometer. It let's me monitor everything very accurately. Here you can see where...

    Dry/Off-Dry Reisling

    Now I'll admit there are some absolutely spectacular chardonnays out there but for ~ $15/bottle I've yet to find a white that can compete:

    Got My Hands On Some Holker Twist

    A big thank you goes to fellow member @karam ! It's love at first try! The rope was nice and pliable to the touch and fairly oily but didn't leave an oily feel on my fingers. The bag note was very pleasantly very figgy. The Virginia definitely reminded me of a GH&C product. High quality and...

    Wine Recommendation : Late Harvest Tokaji

    As much as I love regular Tokaji it can get expensive. No worries. The good folks at Royal Tokaji have found a solution and I'm loving it! This 500mL bottle should be found for $25 USD +/- $5. Super sweet with a nice balancing acidic tartness. Great by itself or pair it with cheese...

    Tri-Tip Dry Brine Experiment

    I've had pretty good results just seasoning and smoking tri-tip but for tomorrow's party I'm attempting my first ever dry brine. I'll season and let these come to room temp for about an hour before they go in the smoker tomorrow. I'm also thinking of letting them stall and then wrap them like...

    Sad Demise of 1970 Taylor Port Bottle

    While doing recent home remodeling I had to temporarily relocate my wine cellar. While moving it I discovered I had a bottle of 1970 Taylor Fladgate Port leaking in a substantial way. This particular bottle has a different label than my other bottles of it. Given the level of leakage I...
