Hell of an anniversary gift for her

Nothing’s permanent, but I gave up my supermarket Zinfandel experiment (Cline’s was tough to beat ~$9) and an off/on German & (mostly) American craft beer hobby in July. Andechs’ Dopplebock Dunkle represents the former well, while Big Bad Baptist’s Double Chocolate Double Peanut Butter Cup was the kind of high-alcohol fun that made seeking out $12 bottles of beer worth it.
Theses days it’s:
Generic purified water
or
3 gm Nescafe w/10 gm Dutched cocoa & 100 gm half & half in a 16 oz mug. Low carb potassium & avoiding total boredom’s the goal here.
or
Two Twinings Irish Breakfast tea bags steeped for 4:30 in a 16 oz mug with 60 gm of half & half.
Other than not liking any sort of writing on those mugs, that’s about it.

Congrats on the healthy choice! I will be pulling back on consumption when Oktoberfest beer season wraps up
Coffe is always on the menu!

I heard about it from instagram and did some googling. It’s an established fact that Jack Daniel was taught distilling from a slave.

Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Went to an American bar that was playing some nfl which was terrible but had some pickleback shot things which is a shot of scotch then a shot of pickle juice which was great fun. The end.
