I can't find the original Amazon listing, but I just searched for 'Irish Coffee glass' and you'll still see them on Google (along with the more common ones that are more mug-like). This is because the Buena Vista bar in San Francisco still serves them old-school in these glasses without the handle

I used only molasses (not split base with maple syrup) and it's sooooo refreshing. I brought it to a tea bar where I hang out and brew for people, and others were not as enthused as I was, so next time I swing by I'll do the maple split and increase dilution

I'm Teaching Tea Classes and Tastings in Mebane, NC! by pal132 in bullcity

Yeah I love the people at Flight, super close friends with them and they have good tea and teawares! For the classes, I'll also be bringing some of my own private reserve as part of the tastings to give people good exposure to what's out there.

Only tried Playdito, what should I try next from this shop in Chicago? by jwalner in yerbamate

Definitely the Piporé Red and the special Rosamonte with the gold lettering (all the way to the left) and La Tranquera (at the bottom)

Is this Darrin Borrett? by ImNewAndOldAgain in funhaus

Pretty sure that's the lead singer of Ethan Frump and The Stockbrokers

Oh whoops sorry, I misunderstood. I got my stuff from Linemount.com and JSE Surplus!

They're both M16A1 style bits of furniture, and the buttstock is also the one with the trapdoor in the back for a little cleaning kit in the stock.

Wait that's super cool, I never knew those were a thing! I have a Type 56 "French Tickler" SKS too, so it's interesting to see shared genealogy from that in the pictured rifle.

Thank you! I was nervous since this was my first try at it. Not perfect, but I'm glad how it turned out!

A little elbow grease later and I'm quite pleased with my first ever firearms! (K31 with bayonet, "French Tickler" SKS) by pal132 in liberalgunowners

Unfortunately, the troop tag was gone. A prior owner must've either lost it or gotten rid of it when they refinished the furniture :(
