Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce

Dinner was great and stupidly easy last night and I feel a need to share it. That means two food posts in a row, but it's this or nothing...

Whole wheat lemon poppy seed muffins

I felt like making something. We have a bunch of whole wheat flour, which I considerably over-purchased, and poppy seeds and no plan for...

Glenglassaugh Revival

Of late I feel Scotch has been neglected, mostly as a result of focusing on exploring American whiskey. The whiskies reviewed here are...

Six months, a great age

Son #2 isn't quite six months old yet and he's really a ton of fun right now. A couple years ago I remember our neighbor asking when #1...

Mediocre movie, great scene (Batman/Vader)

There aren't many pop culture characters bigger than Batman and Darth Vader. Even if one's an all-time villain and the other the greatest...

Boy that escalated quickly, part 2

Covid has dominated our lives and conversations for the last 14 months. Most of it involved painfully slow progress on the cases then...

Monticello

I'll never get over the dense history of the East Coast. Since moving out in 2014 we've visited quite a few cool places and hopefully...

Ted Lasso

After first seeing ads for Ted Lasso I just wasn't that interested. A show starring Jason Sudeikis, about soccer in England, and on Apple...

Bulleit Blenders' Select No.001

I really want to like Bulleit . Their baseline Bulleit Bourbon was one of the first American whiskeys I found enjoyable and it helps...

Fire in a crowded theater

Frozen

Just like Moana before it, our (first) son is currently completely obsessed with Frozen. It's the songs, mostly, though the full movies...

Tumbling down the growth chart

We were a bit surprised at #2's latest well-check. It turns out he'd fallen from 50+ percentile weight/length at three months all the way...

Michter's US*1 SiB Rye

I'm still mostly stuck on American whiskies at the moment and it makes sense to stay there with the next review. Since I've only done one...

Covid surface transmission

Covid has brought a lot of changes to our day-to-day life both at home and out in public. Much of this we've just gotten used to, like...

1917

My wife and I finally watched 1917 last weekend and I can't stop thinking about it. If not already apparent I like writing about...

Shortbread cookies

Who doesn't love cookies? I certainly do and felt there was a hole in my so-far meager list of baked items. Generally my favorite are...

Whisky 302: Malted barley and peat

As with many things, the why is frequently makes the what much more interesting. Similar to Whiskey 202: Bourbon, Kentucky and corn ,...

The Suez Canal

It's done now, but for a hot minute the Suez Canal was the talk of the internet. And there were some pretty great content. And images....

Cleaning out the pellet grill

Using a pellet smoker isn't all fun and delicious games. That thing needs some maintenance. So each spring brings another must-do task...

Noah's Mill batch 20-38

As I briefly mentioned here I'm gradually working on some mid-tier whiskey recommendations, for which American products will be ~$40-65....
