    Just got my bottle.  Only one they had so I lucked out.  Cost 28.00 at the CGX.  Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva with a picture of Ron Antiguo on it.  So do you mix it with coke or just straight?  Not going to drink a lot at one time.  May be a shot on opening day.

    Rum, whiskey, scotch, etc......NEVER mix the good stuff!...EVER!!!

    Words of wisdom, enjoy while you're watching the BROWNS games or whatever. 

    Do you guys ever use those fake reusable ice cubes for cooling drinks? What temperature do you like your sipping whiskey or other spirits?

    Anymore, I'm a beer guy. I do have a set of Browns' shot glasses surrounding a 5th of Bushmills Irish Whiskey that will get a workout with the first win.

    I have never even looked at fake ice cubes & I'm not "techie" enough to worry about temperature. IF I have ice, it's 2 small cubes in about 3 shots of whiskey.

    When we beat the Steelers, it's a shot of Bushmills chased with an Old Leghumper porter.

    Never use the fake ice cubes. Room temp for the booze straight. The only thing that sees ice is some of my private selection 1792 cask strength 114 proof bourbon. That's too much of a good thing. I do have some Tito's in the freezer though. For price\value- Titos blows the 2-3X pricier Grey Goose, Belvedere, Cirroc, et al away. 

    Talk about the power of suggestion- I just poured some of my one and only bottle of single barrel select 1792. 62.5%.  The story is- one of our wine group is as good a bourbon taster as I am with wine. Every year- the guys take a trip down to Kentucky for a tasting at a different distillery. They taste- and then buy the whole barrel. Ray is so good at it, it took me two years to get off the waiting list to actually get a bottle or two. I'll say this much, even as a bourbon goober- I can tell the difference between the 1792 single barrel and the straight run stuff.  Last year, it was Russell Reserve- it's a step up from Wild Turkey- Eddie Russell is the master distiller for both. One last word about bourbon. Those guys willing to spend $1,000+ to say they scored some Pappy van Winkle for their liquor cabinet are out of their freaking minds. The Larry's Law of Logarithmic diminishing returns is on display in spades. 

    For those who have never been to one of our annual Tailgate reunions- I supply shots of Orange Curacao- the real stuff from the Island, domestic imitations are garbage. Sort of difficult to find.

    They've changed the label a little since, but note "The Genuine". The real stuff from the island. Accept no cheap imitations or domestic knockoffs. I make an occasional restocking trip south of the border to Newport Kentucky to The Party Source- the supermarket of booze. Worth a stop if you're ever in the area. https://thepartysource.com/

    I can look out my window and see the Boilermakers Union Hall, AFL-CIO 900.  I look right at it as I type.   And two doors down, a beer joint.  In between?  A holistic medicine/smoothie/massage therapy shop.  How did that get in there??!!

  • I swear this is the last cookbook I'll buy for a long time before I go into cookbook rehab. The Essential James Beard Cookbook: 450 Recipes That Shaped the Tradition of American Cooking,  400 pages and a really balanced selection of classic American food. 

    I also almost NEVER, EVER buy new but I get used hardback books in good or better condition I got the above book delivered to my house for less than $10 in like new condition with a dust cover.

    It would be part of an essential or base cookbook collection, and some good GAMEDAY FOODS!

    Biography

    James Beard (1903­-1985) was an American cookbook author, syndicated columnist, teacher, and television personality. Designated the "dean of American cookery" by the New York Times, Beard laid the foundations for generations of amateur and professional food enthusiasts. After publishing his first cookbook in 1940, Beard went on to host the NBC cooking show I Love to Eat. In 1955 he founded the James Beard Cooking School, where he taught for many years. Over the course of his career, Beard wrote countless cookbooks, including several seminal works, and he inspired and influenced chefs throughout the world. His legacy lives on through the James Beard Foundation, established in his honor to provide scholarships and awards recognizing excellence in the culinary arts.

  • Anyone doing any special GAMEDAY meals or tailgating for the September 9, 2018 Pittsburgh at CLEVELAND season opening game?

    We're deciding between pizza -or- something on the grill.

  • I will have my favorite sipping rum ready to toast the victory or drown the sorrow. Might have a steak chaser ready for the coals. And if it's a really special win I'll break out a very good Cabernet from the wine fridge to go with that steak. And if we tromp 'em good I'll open a Bordeaux instead! Those take a lot longer to develop in the bottle.

  • Well Saturday's GameDay food is my new and best ever steak sandwich which comes with a side of decent fries from the Longhorn Steakhouse about 1.5 miles from our house.

    The Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich  $12.99 not cheap but delicious cut in half can make two nice snacks! Prime rib, mushrooms, onions, melted cheese, ummmmm.

    Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich 1040 calories for you health nuts.
