at least it's an ethos...

I was wide awake at 5am, so I threw on sweats to go for a walk/jog. At 5:45 an insane fog dropped and everything looked do amazing & eerie. I took a few shots with my phone that turned out pretty great.

Unrelated, but awesome - Billy Dee Williams Colt 45 sign.

My liberal friends support so long as the protesting is in north county. The moment it hit Shaw (just blocks from our place), they suddenly asked why they are still protesting and/or left for the weekend.

How he fuck is anything gonna change when all white folks want to do is support at arms length? They still have a “scary black people” attitude even while espousing support?

The St. Louis Cardinals organization is competing in its fourth straight NLCS, and a chance to return to the World Series for a second consecutive season. Inside Busch Stadium, the best baseball fans in America (as we love to boast) scream, high-five and rally around every pitch. Black fans and white fans cheer side-by-side. Jackie Robinson’s retired No. 42 is displayed prominently in front of the stadium scoreboard. Yet a segment of Cardinals fans are providing painful reminders of darker days in Cardinals history.

Yeah, exactly this. Just one of the reasons I’m glad the Cardinals are out of the Series.

I’d put money on similar reactions in any city - drunk white guys with a mob mentality are gonna get racist. It would happen in MKE or NYC just as easily.

portobello tacos with black beans, hominy, & short rib reduction.

we made short ribs in the crock this week and had about a cup of WONDERFUL sauce left over - which was used to braise the mushroom. the sauce was further reduced after cooking and spooned over the beans & hominy which were seasoned with cumin, bacon fat, & arbole chiles.

we will certainly be doing more variations on this in the future.

about once every 6 months i crave it. crisp, intense, bringing back memories of bar hopping with my best friend, windows down, blasting this at full volume.

about to head out on our super secret anniversary date.  i’ll let jessica tell you about it later.

ariverisariver said: Wouldn't you have to worry about cracking the glasses?

i think so long as you don’t have the glasses completely filled, it should be fine.  it is the hoop stress that causes them to crack and break, so with the wedge shape the ice has the freedom to expand and contract unencumbered.

then again, i could be completely wrong.  (shrugging text guy)

The Whiskey Wedge

I want to learn to like whiskey solely to justify getting one of these.

so, you could spend $15 on this or just put some water in the glass and freeze it slightly tilted.

i think a better idea would be a small rack to hold 4 glasses at the proper angle in the freezer.  add water, wait, voile.  might even be a $15 price point for a single rack - use your own rocks glasses.
