Well damn. I found a great cocktail - The Squeaky Wheel. The Negroni is my favorite. I’m always open to a Negroni riff. I also love a mezcal cocktail. I went down a Negroni riff rabbit hole & found this tasty number. Roasty, sweet, herbal, & smoky - A great combo. imbibemagazine.com/recipe/squea...

This thread left me dead. D-E-A-D. Dead.

Well would you look at that kiddos. We got us some new Deafheaven! Love this new song. It feels like a progression from where they left off after New Bermuda. Can't wait for the new album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h_W...

So first off, I have been really enjoying this beer lately…That said, am I getting called out? I’ve been bitching the past two winters that there just aren’t enough stouts/porters on the shelf. Does wanting a basic stout now make me the old guy yelling at kids to get off his lawn? #Beer #Stout

Well I’m packed and ready for my first camping trip of the new year. A basic overnight an hour+ south of here at Dinosaur Valley State Park. A shortish 1 mile hike to a primitive camp site.

Umm okay. Last year was basically ok for me. Not sure I need, or want a do-over year…

A proper Christmas Eve at my sister’s house. Ate a bunch of tamales. And we’re now settling in to watch a Muppet Christmas Carol.

Sad to hear this. I’ve met her a few times. She was always nice. Before she decided to be stupid, & go full MAGA, she was one of the few elected Republicans I respected. This does beg the question - She’s my rep, & has been MIA for six months. So who’s been sending out her official emails?

Tamales have been steamed. Taste tested one, and they are delicious as usual. My masa might be a bit under seasoned, but still good. I have two pounds of fresh masa left. Might whip up a batch of green chile chicken tamales. #Cooking #Christmas

One down…Way too many to go…#Cooking

A day behind, but it’s finally tamale day bitches!! At the end of the day I should have a small, 5 dozen, batch of tamales for the Christmas season. #Cooking #Christmas

Todays vinyl to cook with - Psychic, by Darkside. A truly GOATed electronic album. #cooking #Music

Merry Christmas y’all. Time to start on my pork tamales. When all is said and done, I should have 5 dozen tamales to carry me through the holidays. Always want more, rarely, if ever, do I have the will to make more. Props to all the Abuelas making 100s this time of year. #Cooking #Tamales #Christmas

So fucking over millions of people isn’t a good look for a medical insurance company? Up next in the “no shit Sherlock” headlines, volcanologist declares lava is hot.

Umm i love me some brussel sprouts…But im not sure i want to buy “sexy” brussel sprouts…. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Recently spotted in New Jersey.

Well I found a use for my new little cast iron skillet - I can cook one single pancake at a time! #Cooking

Enjoying my Hibernation Ale of the year. A winter favorite. Hopefully it will warm my bones before I head off to bed. #Beer

Not a Sagittarius, but I can’t help but love the deep cut. Great film.

My first bake in my restored Wagner Ware Krusty Korn Kob pan…Still hung up on the spelling… It was a success!!! Little pre heat, brushed with oil, and they slid right out. I figured a 100 year old heirloom deserved an heirloom cornbread - Used some tasty heirloom Bloody Butcher cornmeal. #Cooking

So I see that Elon is hanging out with his/Grimes' son. The man is the wealthiest person on the planet, but he is also a notorious dead beat dad. Interesting that after a CEO was murdered in cold blood, he is now "Father of the year" out in public with his youngest kid. Coincidence? I think not.

At Tulips here in Fort Worth with my nephew. Here to see indie rapper Mavi. Not gonna lie. First time here since it became a concert venue. Hard to be standing in the space that held one of my favorite breweries. RIP Collective Brewing Project. Y’all were awesome while ya lasted.

Seized this frosty morning to go on a late fall hike. Finally got my fill of fall foliage. There are pockets of natural beauty here in the city if you look for it.

Related to the conversation about the CEO’s assassination, I posted this just ten days ago. Again, I’m not justifying violence but reminding folks that, historically speaking, businessmen and billionaires who screw over ordinary people wind up reaping the whirlwind.

Whelp…After a good amount of elbow grease, the crusty rusty Wagner Ware pans cleaned up nicely. Four layers of seasoning. Will have to give em a test run soon with cornbread. Not really sure what reason they had to buy the little pan. But it was clearly well used. Little before and after action -

This is how you destroy a country.

Well spent half the day burning off yesterday’s calories helping the family cleaning out a couple of storage units. Couple of finds - Found my original NES! Just need to track down a power cord. Bigger find - Old cast iron I assume was my great grandmother’s. Needs some tlc. Stay tuned for updates.

Turning on my heater for the first time this season. This is clearly the proper way to end Thanksgiving.

I like how the commentators are trying to give us hope…If this happens and that happens the Cowboys could get in the playoffs. Anyone buying that are freebasing pure uncut hopium. #Cowboys

And we have moved on to dessert . Sadly my SIL did not bring her amazing pumpkin cheesecake. Still solid. #Thanksgiving

The family Thanksgiving spread - #Thanksgiving

My beautiful bird after its hot oil bath. #thanksgiving #cooking

My turkey is now taking its roughly 50 minute bath in hot oil…

My Thanksgiving contribution so far: collard greens seasoned with smoked turkey, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a splash of cider vinegar. S’More pie, marshmallow topping not yet torched. Chicken and dumplings. Sourdough bread. Not pictured is my soon to be fried turkey. #Thanksgiving #Cooking

Starting on the dumplings for my chicken and dumplings. Gotta say these buttermilk biscuits, with butter instead of shortening, and with the “modern” addition of baking powder, make the best dumplings. #Thanksgiving

Enjoying my first Jubelale of the year. Always a seasonal favorite. #beer

why would trans people do this

Tonight’s first drink, Altstadt Brewery’s Schwarz. Altstadt does a pretty good job at German style brews. This is no exception. One of the better schwarzbiers I have had in a while. #Beer

Not bad for an afternoon’s work. One quart of delicious turkey jus. Let it set into meat jello over night. Skim the fat. I’ll have the base for my turkey gravy. #Cooking #Thanksgiving

Listening to how that kayaker faked his death, fled the country, and popped up in Eastern Europe. It’s wild all he did to get there. Seems overly excessive. I mean he could have just taken the easy route, told his fam he was going out for cigarettes, and just vanish.

Ok…Should we panicking over Pam Bondi?!? I have to assume she is worse. She achieved little to nothing it seems as Trumps lawyer. She was Florida AG…So she knows what’s she’s doing, which could be way worse than if Gaetz had that position.

Love all the PSAs about frying turkeys. Showing worst case scenarios probably scare people away from trying it. As a turkey frying veteran, who has been frying well over a decade, I can say it’s not that scary/dangerous. Just use common sense(I’m aware it’s not that common) safety measures. #Cooking

It’s the first day that kinda feels fall-ish. Good day for an afternoon cup. Finishing off my bag of Noble Coyote Itete. A tasty coffee from Tanzania. #Coffee

And so it begins. Kicking off the first of multiple Thanksgiving dishes. Doing my usual deep fried turkey. As such, I have to make a separate gravy. Kicking off Thanksgiving cooking with a roast turkey jus, that will be turned into a rich gravy. #Cooking #Thanksgiving2024

A much more serious country than the U.S., apparently.

Gaetz out as AG. Cynical take 1 - It was planned as a bait and switch. We’ll get someone infinitely worse, but isn’t a pedo sex trafficker. Take 2 - Gaetz knew the report would come out, legally/illegally, & quit the House & AG appointment to avoid that. Hopefully that report still comes out.
