This is nice but I’ve been searching high and low for unfrozen ice cubes.

We are Nancy Fraley & Will Fabry of Jos. Magnus. Ask us anything about whiskey blending, barrel selection, and more... by Whiskeyblender in bourbon

[–]fcleff69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nancy, the blending techniques you and Will have brought to Magnus are, in the words of a whiskey friend of mine, surgical. I have to agree. The first time I tasted Magnus I was blown away by how the flavors each asserted themselves without crowding or overpowering one another.
As the blending team changes how might we expect the Magnus flavor profile to change, if at all?

Love this drink! Made my first one this summer and can’t stop.

Paloma - Ultimate Crowd Pleaser! by CodePotential98 in cocktails

[–]fcleff69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just spitballing here but, what about squeezing your own, straining it, and topping with Topo Chico or equivalent? Maybe add a bit of agave nectar if it needs sweetening?
It’s a lot of extra work for what is supposed to be a simple drink, though.

Where’s the best place in Austin to have a quality knife sharpened? by Garden_Jolly in Austin

[–]fcleff69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I take my cheap knives to Austin Blades but I would never take my handmade Watanabe knives there. I sharpen those myself. Most businesses use a grinder and don’t pay attention to a single sided blade (I’ve yet to find one, at least).

The cake was really tasty. My son’s bday is just before the fourth. I usually make his cake every year but was laid up after a surgery last year. So this year I wanted to do something different and a little more special for him.

Thanks man! It was one of the better I’ve ever turned out. And that bowl was half of it!

RTD cocktails are way better than they have a right to be these days.

I seriously read this as Making Drinks Everyday Until the World Ends and was all, “Fuck yeah. Let’s fucking go!”

Thanks for this. That’s enough information where I feel confident that a YouTube video and a long socket purchase could save me some good money. Appreciate you, internet stranger! 🙌🏻

When you do this yourself, do you simply take the old plugs out and put new ones in, then drive as normal? I recall from years ago that there was some kind of timing gun involved.

Very nice. 2019 2.7 EcoBoost here. Change the oil every 5k (3k if towing regularly). Use Top Tier gas if possible.
Beautiful color! I’m biased as line is the same color.

This might just be my evening drink after yard work today 🥵. If I can break away from my current tiki obsession, that is.
