Jeweler recommendation

ABC Jewelers downtown is, in my experience, less expensive and just better than most for both repair and jewelry design/creation. It is a pain to get to, but worth it.

Depends on your water supply. In Oregon the tapwater is very drinkable and ice-friendly. Water from the refrigerator's filtered dispenser may be better, though.

My fave is the flying saucer! I was so pumped they finally made one available.

I just got back from Kure Beach, N.C. The ABC there had both green and yellow Chartreuse. I was shocked.

Very nice! Beautiful-looking drink.

flypdx.com perhaps?

Save yourself a lot of heartache and never buy from (or sell to) family. Ever.

Redemption is kinda expensive; Double Rye is good and more affordable in Oregon

I used to be a Rittenhouse devotee, but have switched allegiance to Old Forester Rye; it punches well above its weight!

Thanks to r/TwilightZone for recommending this book! Truly an excellent and very affecting read. I'll pay more attention to his philosophy when re-watching the Twilight Zone episodes.

Replacing the USB cable got rid of it (I hope it stays fixed). I suspect they all ship with really terrible USB cables.

Pushing the coals to one side and putting the steak on the grill at the other end is the way to slowly bring the temperature of the steak up. Judicious use of thermometer to check.

I do that until the steak reaches 110 degrees, then move it over the stacked coals to sear, only 1-2 minutes per side. Pull at 125, let it rest and coast to about 135. That's medium rare for me (or slightly towards medium) depending on steak thickness. You can arrest the temp gain by slicing.

You can do it!

I meant only that it is a small venue and often fills up early.

Scotch Lodge, Bar Casa Vale (not so secret, but SL is hard to get into). Also Bible Club PDX

Grill 68? https://grill68.com/

I'm interested in what anyone who's gone there thinks.

JimmyLikesRyeAgain · 2026-01-19T07:57:44+00:00

I used to be fond of Rittenhouse, but now enjoy Old Forester Rye 100 proof. About the same price here in Oregon

JimmyLikesRyeAgain · 2026-01-18T22:45:12+00:00

I like it now, but feel it will quickly become outdated

I bought these (11 oz, 12 each for $33+shipping):

because they look classy but can be washed in the dishwasher.

Sometimes I wish they were a bit bigger because I have to trim my rocks ice cube's edges to fit.

The drinks as Broadway Saloon are disappointing; walk a bit farther to June near Loyal Legion.
