Shit I've Cooked Lately
So, I decided to not fuck around today and went extra hard on the noach… Gentlemen, I present to you Smoked Brisket Pastrami Nachos with Serrano queso, grilled onions and chili avocados:

Ukraine War
Wasn’t expecting such a considered response in this thread… nice work! As someone who leans very blue, I feel the investment we’re making in Ukraine has the cleanest cost-benefit of any conflict we’ve supported in my lifetime. The Cold War provided a similar outcome, but the costs were unfathomable and the result was fleeting (see where we are today). This feels altogether different, and if the outcome matches our desire, we could finally see a break from Soviet thinking/control. You obviously can’t change the Russian psyche, but by removing their conventional military capabilities, their desires for a return to territorial prominence move from potentials to dreams.

Wine
So, this week went from good to silly in a hurry. I’ve been fortunate enough to taste select vintages of d’Yquem over the years, all of which were superb… but they were entirely outclassed by this Fargues. This expression was simply mind blowing and worth every penny… what a bottle!

Texas BBQ
Interesting… My only visit to Interstellar blew away stops at both Truth locations. Very much enjoyed Truth in Brenham, but would firmly put the Houston location into the “fine” category.

I mean, you’re not wrong… but I’m coming off a VERY indulgent week and am tapering down.

Meatballs with baked ricotta and a heirloom / pesto salad. Not necessarily pretty, but nonetheless perfect.

Y’all is talking crazy… “Fine”?! This ain’t no Rudy’s!

A year ago was the last time I was there and I doubt their policy has changed. They supposedly don’t drop random bottles… everything allocated is announced and folks like up, first-come first-served. A Smith days are supposed to be wild… glad I got to drink a bunch before I left the DMV!

Yeah I don’t understand how anyone disliked this beauty. It’s complex, unique and goes down easy. To me it seemed like the argument against came from a purist’s perspective. There’s a broad range of brown water that pleases my palette.

I’m eager for the DOJ to push her shit in… should be spicy

Hmm… Sadly I’d put this Frey wheat in the Elmer T Lee category: Nice. Simple. Unremarkable. It does have a surprising burn at the back for 100 proof, but nothing else that leaves a lasting impression. A shame, really… should have grabbed their Barrel SB pick instead, but I’ll be back in a few weeks.

Gonna crack it this weekend and will let you know - Seems like a VERY limited allocation, which can be good or bad, but I like wheaters on the whole.

4 Loko...a stumble down memory lane
So… the play is to pop one of these and then binge the loko for a similar experience?

Twice, is there any way for the prosecution to remove Cannon from the process, or swiftly move through her various stalling tactics by appealing to a higher court? Her bias seems quite clear at this point, so it stuns that DOJ can’t somehow push for her recusal.

Structurally the right move… strategically, we’ll see…

Ok, this Nulu DO is fascinating… it has very little in common with any other Double Oaked product I’ve had to date. It’s more like a Double Toasted, which obviously doesn’t exist, but damned if that doesn’t shine through. Gonna give this some run, but the nose is full of hickory smoke and I’m compelled to return to this glass.
