In the middle of a heat wave that would apparently kill thousands and thousands of Europeans, we're celebrating 'Merica's anniversary. Thankfully, we have AC here, as well as power. But yes, tell us how there's no cuisine here in 'Merica. In the craft beer world, this...
New month, new Cocktail of the Month from the Substack. We’re fully into summer here, with temperatures going up into the 90s. This means summer drinks are the order of the day. For that, I’m going to go with the Tom Collins. On the other hand, I’ll also argue that...
As we move into the end of June, I have learned of an insidious expansion of shrinkflation. Stopped at the liquor store, and chatted with the clerk about the strange spate of good bottles on the clearance section (Ohio does Last Call for discontinued bottles). He let...
The joys of summer in north east Ohio. Big temperature swings, heat, humidity, thunderstorms, and festivals. That's not even getting into the cook-offs and cultural festivals, of which there's competing ones almost every weekend. Last weekend, the girlfriend and I...
Man, having a Friday afternoon off was nice, I hope you were all able to find adequate beverages to refresh yourselves without any recipes from me. With that, lets get back into the links. Locally, I know where I'm planning on heading tomorrow. I may not be the...
Some of us do this by choice Trump. BY CHOICE!
That was a nice week of spring weather, but now spring is over, and I'll likely break down and turn on the AC this weekend. The girlfriend and I have been trying out Sunderfolk, a couch co-op which utilizes smart phones/tablets as the input device. We're still just in...
Yep, I'm back. I'm not sure what bias this is, but my experience (and that of those I know) does not match this. This. This is being a role model. The local clown show continues. I was approached by some people looking for signatures on the recall petition last...
Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma
Time for your weekly drink and link fix.
Seen in the wild.
Care to join me for a drink?
Not the Old Man, just a middle aged man.
Shows are good… and stuff!
McDonald’s has really gone downhill.
I’ve got an empty frame I need to put up for 2020, and then the newer ones still. But I’ve been to… a couple of these. Same artist did most of them, and he was jealous that I had them all. He didn’t even have a couple.
The Slackers. It is nearly impossible to be mad after seeing the Slackers.
They opened for the Koffin Kats on Sunday, playing at a venue I love. I’ll be seeing the Slackers play there tomorrow.
These oranges are a lie.
Two chefs from the area talking about food, culture, and cooking. It was a good time.
This is turning into a big spring for concerts, the girlfriend is off to hear the orchestra >insert snide comment about their rating here> play MCU music. Meanwhile, when we saw the Dollyrots last week, one of the opening bands included a guy I knew from way...
Assimilation is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?
I was strong and only got 4 glasses from this table. They then e-mailed me a coupon for my next order… those bastards.
The wheels turn, slowly but surely, grinding out content.
I understand there’s supposed to be some sort of boycott today. Sorry, I was out shopping, otherwise I would have something wittier to write up here.
