I had a $50 shot of scotch once in 1987.

Macallan, perhaps?

I had a $50 shot of scotch once in 1987.

My same coworker I was with in Mexico City where we were running up the bill with Tequila (he actually got shitcanned after the Mexico Trip because of this), Johnny Walker Blue and Cigars, we also went to Vegas and he would order Manhattans made with Macallan 15 just to up the final bill (also expensed to work).

Really noce little seasoning mix:

¼ cup kosher salt
4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground red pepper

Who knows, there's a whole host of candidates and it's been 35 years. Do you expect me to remember?

Johnny Walker Blue would have almost made a candidate but still a little too cheap. I've got some 20 year Chivas Regal in a large bottle in my liquor cabinet which I haven't even opened yet. I used to have some 12 year old single malts that were high quality but I really don't enjoy single malts. Give me a good blend like the three sided 15 year old Dimple Pinch. I'm happy with that.

EASTER BRUNCH:

Honey-baked ham (OK, my wife's sister gave us a coupon for $50. That still only brought it down to a whopping $70!!)

My favorite scalloped potatoes

Cream cheese lemon bars

That's all I have so far.

Suggestions?

 

[crandc]

Usually good with food but Easter out of my repertoire.

 

[ABM]

Naturally.

I just learned a new recipe and it involves pepper vodka.

Is it a Bloody Mary?

BTW, the Traeger Bloody Mary mix is pretty spicy.....and SOOOOO good! (It's a base mixed with tomato juice)

I prefer to make my own only I use V-8 and true celery heart, pepper vodka, dash of tobasco, greater dash of Worcestershire sauce and sometimes a mild pepperonccini.

Sounds wonderful.

Firing up the smoker for the first time since the SB for a brisket on Saturday night then held over in the oven to Sunday and will probably toss on a slab of ribs for myself. Other than that down here it's a pretty typical Mex-Tex cookout, fajita, sausage, jalapeno poppers, chips/dips. Might make up my slow cooker Mexican Cream Corn that is delicious!

Back yard starting to produce. I thinned out greens and got enough to make a couple of salads if baby lettuce, kale, bok choy, arugula along with radish greens and the radishes.

I picked up one of these pizza ovens on the memorial day sale. I was planning a father's day pizza party with it but got Covid so probably have to wait. Has anyone used one? Looks fun and easy enough. I make a lot of pizza in my kitchen oven so I am excited to try the real thing.

Awesome! I've thought of building a brick pizza oven in my back yard, but as time passes, I do wonder if this is the better way to go. Ooni is the brand?

My research had me down to Ooni and Gozney. The Gozney Roccbox gets good reviews. For ooni I debated on the Karu vs Koda for way too long. Settled on the Karu because I wanted the option of wood and coal burning even though I'll mostly do gas. Also the Karu had a door and can be used like a regular oven at lower temps so you can easily do all sorts of things on them. The Karu is the only oven recommend by the Napoli pizza authority also and all reviews just had it a little more easy mode and versatile than the Koda for general use. So that was my basic reasoning, although both ooni and Gozney have a pretty big line to chose from.

I'm pretty sure they run sales regularly. I got mine on a memorial day sale at 20% off.
