Amphora Special Reserve Black Cavendish in my recently acquired Pioneer Block Meerschaum army mount.

This meer needed a little work to make it smokable. There was a small hairline crack in the shank and the tenon mount was a little loose. Both issues easily fixed with a little CA, and it smokes like a dream.

I bought one back in '75, and it's always been a great smoker. Well worth the $5.95 I paid for it.

Spaghetti Puttanesca ( a simple Neapolitan Speciality)
I love the simplicity of puttanesca (since all ingredients are pantry staples), yet the complex flavor bomb of the sweet yet acidic marinara , spice from the crushed red peppers, umami from the melted anchovy, tartness from the capers, and saltiness from the olives. On a rare occasion, I'll even add tuna for protein.

Serve with crusty garlic bread that is heavily buttered (which I keep in the freezer) and you have a semi gourmet weeknight meal (and leftovers for lunch the next day).

Enjoy in good health.

The rain stopped, so I took a pipe with an acrylic stem in case it started again while I was walking. I've a third of a bowl left of unreleased 2021 Sutliff VaPer in a 1970's straight rusticated black Savinelli Estella 915 KS dublin with a flared top and pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
