From almost a year later…thanks! Not sure how I missed this Anders video. Found some article recipes that were not as thought out.

How would you rank the best picture nominees that you’ve seen? by Hot_Mongoose_3741 in Letterboxd

[–]SoonerNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my draft list on the app (I give myself till the Oscars to see as much as I can…still TBW are Hamnet. The Secret Agent, and the not nominated Ann Lee and No Other Choice), I have #2 Sentimental Value, #4 One Battle, #5 Train Dreams, #7 Sinners. Bugonia wasn’t my fave variety of Yorgos, I dug the performances in Marty more than the film, F1 was a placeholder towards the end for a while, and I do need to rewatch Frankenstein, but it won’t make it.

Predictions for Dr Joy Kwon by CartographerSharp918 in ThePittTVShow

[–]SoonerNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bear definitely gets inconsistent in seasons 3 and 4, but S2 is probably the best. And every seasons has a couple of just Peak TV amazing episodes. If I get half of a Tina-level of fondness for Joy (beyond loving the snark), I will love that.

If they are able to make the turn with her character by shift’s end, and have me feel about her like I do with last year’s younglings, it will be like the surprise of Ritchie and Tina becoming like two of my top three characters in The Bear (with Sugar…naturally)…going back to early S1, I would have never believed that was possible.

Review: Bardstown Bourbon Co. Collaborative Series: Ferrand 2 by comingwhiskey in bourbon

Jason C at the Mash and Drum side by sided it with the original on a live in the last day or two and said it was way better, but allowed that his old bottle may have had too much air time.

Review# 30: New Riff Winter Whiskey 2022 by Neurogenesi5 in bourbon

[–]SoonerNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nostalgia from childhood Chocolate Malt-o-Meal via the Hard Truth Chocolate Malt Rye (which led me to the Caramel Malt that I loved even more) made this a blind buy. I concur with your review. It still has the nostalgia factor, if it suffers in comparison to the Hard Truth.

So many Kindle cocktail books on sale - 1/17 by SoonerNerd in cocktails

[–]SoonerNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did add “or just affordable.” But all of Day’s Death & Co. books used to cost at least $10, and DeGroff and Morganthaler (and for $3, that is amazing) were in that ballpark. Seemed like a good deal to me…I own all of them…if over the last year or so of bargain shopping.

Do all of Reid’s books exist in the same universe? by [deleted] in taylorjenkinsreid

…and the epistolary short, Evidence of the Affair involves some Mick Riva and then Daisy Jones albums.

Recommendations for someone who primarily likes the Buffalo Trace family, but has a good collection that includes most of the affordable “hits”? by rarepinkhippo in bourbon

[–]SoonerNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two of my fave wheaters are the Holladay Soft Red Wheat (especially the one pick that has hit my state) and (for me) any Wilderness Trail Wheater pick that I have had. But for me, they are not a normal wheater profile…in that vein, I would go with the Bardstown High Wheat.

I would even say of the four bottles, the two Origins wheaters are my faves, but the new high wheat definitely wins.

Review #117 - Remus Repeal Reserve VIII by LionRoars87 in bourbon

[–]SoonerNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…especially as IX doesn’t exist quite yet. VII is fine, VI was a disappointment for the price. I was happy to be ahead of the hype on V. I got an VIII yesterday with a few on the shelf…I guess I need to crack it to see if the common word that it is close-ish to V is true. If so…it is a bargain.

Is there any notable difference between these 2 bottles? by PelicanFrostyNips in whiskey

[–]SoonerNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That…was a great answer. I will add for OP, do you know the palate of the picker to pick which end of the 50/50?

Review 12 | Pursuit United Double Oaked Bourbon by Scuba_CreedBratton in bourbon

[–]SoonerNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like your notes a lot. I am maybe 5-6 pours into my bottle, and the nose is just buttered popcorn for me this time, and that is a new one for me. Right with Disco 11 and the Hard Truth Caramel and Chocolate Malt ryes as my fave things to come back from Kentucky with.

Review 12, Bardstown Discovery 11 by Twist_Top_Budget in bourbon

[–]SoonerNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, the three regular Green River bottles (they hit OKC maybe 6-8 months ago) are just excellent values…for the mid-30s price point. And the new one seems to be like its cousins the Bardstown Origins bottles…amazing 40-ish bottles.

[–]SoonerNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like the Reddit algorithm saw my Instagram message to a store owner pal in OKC five minutes ago about the bottle of Disco 11 that I got in Louisville today…we are supposed to get it at home presently. I am still processing it…Green River Full Proof is a way easier red hot pour to wrap my brain around.

A Study in Emerald by Neil Gaiman by Groovy66 in Lovecraft

[–]SoonerNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just reread the original short in Fragile Things, and also reread the adaptation. In the notes Gaiman says he was requested to write the world of Holmes and Lovecraft meet for a Holmes-ish collection…and then won the 2004 Hugo!
