    The Love of Sports or the Lack Thereof

    College football is the only sports I truly get passionate about. Throw in some Blackhawks hockey and the golf majors and I am pretty satisfied. Just can’t get into baseball, soccer, or basketball with so many games each season. No particular game seems to have enough significance to get...

    On the Economical Operation of Light Bulbs

    I converted almost 40 can lights ina red room to LED’s a few years ago and have been pleasantly surprised. It is amazing how much cooler the bulbs are after being on for awhile.

    What Are You Drinking? November 2023

    I didn’t get a chance to open it yet, but I picked up a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail over the weekend. It’s been a few years since I last had it.

    Cranberry Orange Relish Recipe.

    My MIL makes a version close to yours. It is delicious, but we usually end up with 2/3 left over. We found out it goes pretty well over vanilla ice cream.

    Favorite Christmas Song

    As a huge fan of Family Guy I am surprised I was not aware that Seth had music released. I just downloaded a bunch of his albums. Pretty interesting. Big band type music which reminds my wife of Mel Torme her dad used to jam to.

    Little Drummer Boy - tie between the David Bowie/Bing Crosby version and the Bob Seger version.

    Adding Staves to Tobacco Jars

    Well that saves me some time and effort. I was thinking of the same approach to adding coffee aroma and flavor to some Carter Hall. Sounds like I should just stick with a cup of black coffee on the side.

    How to Re-Hydrate Pipe Tobacco

    I have a 1/2 tin left of Frog Morton Cellar. Has anyone had success rehydrating the whiskey barrel stave with whiskey to add a deeper flavor and some moisture into the tobacco?

    Thanksgiving Hacks

    Laurent - you have this process well planned, it sounds delicious. Stuffing wise - I do a fairly straight forward corn bread stuffing with sausage and herbs. MIL does a traditional sausage herb stuffing, thus all the guests have options.

    Zen Or Clutter?

    Too much clutter makes me anxious. While the Zen is a little too simple, I tend toward the less is more school of thought.

    Thanksgiving Hacks

    Title edited for caps and brevity. Original: "Thanksgiving hacks (for those celebrating the holiday)" We will brine a turkey for 24 hours, then cover it with a 1 to 2 ratio mix of maple syrup and butter. Stuff some of the maple butter under the skin to really get a nice moist meat. Cover the...

    What Are You Drinking? November 2023

    Bhakta 21 year old Armagnac. First time trying Armagnac and so far I like it. Kind of a mix of chocolate and prune/raisin flavor.

    Rules for a PB&J...What Rules?...No Rules!

    Keto low carb tortilla, crunchy Jiff, and low sugar jelly. If I am feeling nostalgic, substitute Miracle Whip for the jelly.

    What are You Watching? [2023] Please Rate 1-5

    Mind hunter was only two seasons but rates a 5/5. As per previous recommendations, Bosch is pretty interesting. I rate it 4.5/5. I am strongly considering watching Bans of Brothers series for the third time.

    What's for Breakfast?

    Sadly that is my breakfast as well 99% of the time. And now it is even physician mandated decaf coffee. Oh the humanity.

    How I Make Oatmeal

    Based off of this thread, I tried a savory oatmeal this past week for the first time. Threw in some chicken base, soy sauce, green onions, hot sauce, and peanut butter. It was a little weird at first, but ended up really good and a filling, cheap lunch.

    What Are You Drinking? November 2023

    Just finished off a Pumpking imperial ale. 8.6 abv and a pretty solid pumpkin and baking spice flavor. Typically I am not a flavored beer fan, but this was a solid 8/10.

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    Absolutely. A good friend has a one year old male out of Berg Brothers and he is coming along really well.

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    Pipedreamin - dogs ate a highly personal decision, but I could not recommend Llewellyn Setters more highly. Great hunting dogs and equally as good in the house. If interested looking Hillcrest Setters or Berg Bros. for two good options. i find it as much or possibly more enjoyable watch8ng a...
