Heading outside for some Nutty Irishman in my new estate Peterson Jr.
Met some old co-workers that came up from Atlanta. We had a great lunch in Murfreesboro.
Got home, fed and had some HU Edward G in an unknown old Meer....

Arango version Royal Comfort in a new Missouri Meerschaum Diplomat. Like the pipe. Do not care for the tobacco, and am going to stop struggling with it. I mean it this time. I have smoked it in various pipes, dried for various lengths of time (and even not at all) and it and I just do not get along.
Made a mocktail which approximates an Old Fashioned. That, I enjoyed.
Recipe:
Brew a cup of double-strength Russian Caravan tea (or another smoky tea like lapsang souchong), and let it cool.
In a drinks glass, muddle:
5 dashes of Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters (FYI there is what I assume to be a small amount of alcohol in this. There are alcohol-free bitters available.)
2 - 3 slices of a Cajun Belle hot pepper (or a jalapeño)
Slice of orange
Pour in half-a-glass's worth of 7UP Shirley Temple Zero Sugar (pomegranate and cherry flavored.)
Fill the glass the rest of the way with the cooled tea.
The pepper slices give it a little heat and zing, to mimic the "nose" and "bite" of alcohol.
It's festive.

Thanks! Michael does great work.

My Sierra 1500 threw her serpentine belt and popped the "plastic" radiator. So had to navigate Atlanta traffic in my "Bug Out" 93' Jeep YJ today. Darn knee hurts from riding the clutch in bumper to bumper traffic. So tonight's ration of of two pints and a whisky is well received.
