The laddie

Last Sunday was a solemn occasion, but in Scotland it was a day to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the rebirth of Bruichladdich distillery. Here's Mark Gillespie of Whiskycast on this special day.

All alone with the pups

My wife is at the party for Chef Black's new restaurant. That means it's just me and the pups for dinner. I am having pan-seared steak with shitaki polenta and cabbage. Yummy!

Birthday dinner

Yesterday was dad's birthday so we pulled out all the stops. I made my go-to bbq ribs with maple glaze. The one innovation was adding a little bourbon to the sauce. To my mind, the ribs should have a little chew to them and not completely fall off the bone. We also had roasted plum tomatoes, sauteed corn and potato salad with a mustard vinaigrette. Jessica made a yummy chocolate pudding cake for dessert. We knew that was good when no one spoke for the thirty seconds they spent eating it all up.
