The frequency and volumes I was drinking beer would surely make me fat(ter), so I figured it was best to dig back into the bourbon/rye hoard. That and I ran out of beer.
Official Covid-19 what are you drinking now..........
- Thread starter Brian HCM#1
- Start date
Teh booze of the night, needed a splash of WW for dinner (shrimp, rice pilaf, and roasted broccoli) figured we may as well kill the bottle. Pork shoulder thawing our in the background, tomorrow will require many, many bourbons while I stare at the smoker
Picked up a few of these from the brewery:
You order on-line, then pick it up from the window. The young lady at the window was very very attractive. It was awkward asking for this particular beer...

Found two bottles of vodka in the cupboard and although we never drink the stuff, decided that a rainy Saturday was a good time for spicy Ceasars (inspired in part by some good friends in Canuckistan). Pretty damn good! Got some mix left and may go cowboy-style later today.
Smoked meats mean it’s time for Kickin Chickin
Still one of my favorites, and for $7/bottle it’s unbeatable

I'll trade anyone two bottles of 'big' bulleit for some fentanyl right now.

I love the Fins. Maybe in my next lifetime?
Good god can we please not get Pantsdrunk in a Zoom meeting?
Was running low on coffee beans, ordered a 5lb bag of Brazillian Santos roast on Amazon since I thought that was a reasonable amount. 5lbs of coffee beans is not a reasonable amount, write that down so you don't forget, storage has become a problem. Luckily it's some tasty shit, not the best I've ever had, but clearly superior to anything available locally right now.
Currently have 2 cups going, next investment is a bigger mug.

that's it? i got 8 lbs when this all started.I dunno - I have 4lbs in the cupboard and it seems reasonable.
4lbs will last us about 3 weeks. Which should be plenty until it's time to venture forth for provisions again...
Whoops - just looked and the bags are 2.5lbs. So 5lbs will last 3 weeks.
I think I have around 5-6lbs of whole beans and some ground coffee in vacuum bricks as a backup.
Wait so 4lbs in 3 weeks for both of you?4lbs will last us about 3 weeks. Which should be plenty until it's time to venture forth for provisions again...

Basically. That's 1 12-cup pot every morning.
Jeebus. That's plenty of fuel for pushups.
Crap... thanks for the reminder.Jeebus. That's plenty of fuel for pushups.
Did a small beer restock. Just finished an Idle Hands Four Seam. Moving onto a Bent Water Sluice Juice.
Super nice day outside so the lady and I rode bikes to (one of) the local brewery and picked up a 4-pack of 16oz. beers. Stopped at Whole Foods after for some grocery shopping, where we picked up a bottle of high ABV kombucha and a Bomber of sour something or other in addition to food.
Now on the patio having a cocktail. Boozey Booch para ella, Topo Collins para mi. 3oz. Gin, 2oz. fresh squoze lemon, 4-5oz plain Topo Chico, and some amount of agave. So good. Summertime in a glass.
I have discovered a variation on the traditional G&T: gin and Topo, as in Topo Chico. Hot Christ that stuff is refreshing and delicious. Thursday I was mixing Bombay Sapphire with the lemon/lime Topo Chico during Shop Night video chat. Twist of lemon, so tasty.G&T's. Followed by wine. Followed by more G&Ts.

Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA. Not bad, not bad.
I’m only gonna say this once: Although I will drink Voodoo Ranger and it’s many variants if that is all that is available, that shit is garbage.
We got beer (and food not pictured) to go from local restaurant last night. Beer to go in tall soup containers? Sure why not.
OK, you don't like NE juicy IPA, we get it.
Topo Chico is an underated mixer for most types of booze. Much better than normal soda-water if you're just doing a vodka-soda, and makes for a great margarita or paloma if you want to be all authentic.
Have a Reeb going, will likely switch to something more adult after dinner.
What in the FUCK is this Topo Chico nonsense??
Oh, and FTR, I'm drinkin' fresh lime (and lemon) margaritas. They are muy fuerte.
Apparently something that goes well with Bombay Sapphire.What in the FUCK is this Topo Chico nonsense??
Please see below.What in the FUCK is this Topo Chico nonsense??
Can confirm.
