Well it is that time in the evening when things are winding down
except my ragged old body, so you sort of swagger over to the alter
and eye the different spirits that may come and visit you tonight.
Unless you are like me and are monospiritus where as there only spirit
that ever makes itself known here is That of the rum god.. good old
rummadus drunkus. It is a god that surely plays well with others or it
is good for a one spirit show. Tonight as I bow and pay hommage to the
local house 'o spirits and hand over my cash for another bottle of the
good stuff I remember a mix that I have not had in awhile.Honeyed
Lemonious rummadus. Freshly squeezed lemon some yum yum to the tum tum
honey and the only true god ever Good ole rummadus. May it go down
smooth and sooth my bones

I love Manhattans. They are the nectar of the gods. The problem is that
one tastes like another, and with two shots of whiskey and one of
vermouth, that is way too much booze to drink in a day. Since I could
not resist the second one I had to stop drinking them entirely. I have a
nice beer or a glass of wine instead.

I went on a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery 5 or 6 years ago and it was
interesting as well as entertaining. But good grief, it was hot as hell the
we went. Thankfully, as much lemonade as you could consume was offered after
the tour. Pretty sure I downed at least a gallon.

There is no end to that sort of stuff like that. We have 7 large
marijuana grow ops in our town, but the town opted not to allow retail

I still have bit of that in my cabinet. I've tried a shot or two

Wine is also gluten free!

I'm not a big beer drinker and prefer pilsner types over the darker
beers, but it just goes so well with pizza and a good sandwich.

Wine is a wonderful drink though. No wonder Jesus made so much of it
at that wedding. As an aside, his lesser known brother, Brian Christ,
turned water into Coors light.

Wine snobs aside, drink what you like, but do take some time to
investigate it. What still fascinates me is how a good red can change
in an hour or so. If eating a meal that justifies a red, I always open
the bottle and take a taste, maybe 30 to 60 minutes ahead. Then tasting
again with the meal, it has evolved to a smoother more mellow drink.

I also enjoy a good gin and a good bourbon at times.

I once opened a bottle from a leading Bordeaux chateau 30 minutes or so
before grilling some lamb chops during a friend's visit. It was thin and
acidic and I thought that I would have to open a different red. However,
it was great when we drank it with the chops. Then, with the remaining
wine, I served some 5yr-old cheddar. What an experience!! The flavours
of both the wine and cheese just "exploded". Years later, my friend
still talks about that meal despite having drunk many excellent wines since.

Wine is gluten free when first made if precautions were taken;
however, if the wine is aged in wooden barrels then chances are it
will become contaminated with gluten. A gluten based substance is used
between the boards in order to ensure a good seal. This is leeched
into the wine and makes it not gluten free.
White wine can also be contaminated with gluten, I have no idea how
but I do know that I have had white wine and if had gluten in it. The
only kind of wine I could ever stand was a pinot grigio but in limited
amounts.

I've only ever known one person who doesn't like beer or wine.
Considering that 25% of people are supertasters (or just in love with
themselves), it's safe to say that suoertasters like beer and wine
just as much as the rest of us mortals.

I don't drink it but bourbon is good for flavor in cooking
sometimes. I just whipped up a small batch of honey-bourbon bbq
sauce. I bought this pint in December either 2-3 years ago. I
still have an inch or so left in the bottle.

I'm not a wine snob but that's the reason it is recommended to uncork a
bottle of red and let it "breathe" before consuming. :)

I used to have a recipe for a beef short-rib bourbon stew (a la Emeril
Legasse) served with white cheddar grits. I never made it and have lost
the recipe over the years. I'd likely buy a couple of those airline
size bottles of bourbon if that's the only thing I needed it for.

I bought the pint of bourbon because I wanted to experiment with
ideas using it. On the same day though, I bought 2 of those small
bottles.

Small (50 ml) bottles but good for a sample before you buy
larger.
My other need was something to pour on a fruitcake.
I bought one of brandy, tasted it and it wasn't so good.

Other little bottle was "Jim Beam Apple" (70 proof)
(Apple liqueur infused with Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey)

I tasted this and it tasted amazingly nice, just straight shot. I
poured a little on that fruitcake and it was good. I'll probably
buy a bottle of this stuff next time. It's actually very tasty
stand alone for drinking. The only "hard stuff" that I've ever
liked.

BTW, those little 50ml bottles only cost $1.25 each. Cheap enough
to sample or to use in one cooking application. :)

Ms anderson I feel that you should know that when putting large web

you typed

which is useless to me
