Yes, I’m doing another hot cocktail this week. But unlike last week, today’s cocktail doesn’t have beer. As I’ve said in the past I’m not a big beer fan. So, after two weeks of hot beer drinks, I’ve decided to get back to the hard stuff, and I found a drink that doesn’t have an… Continue reading Baker Horse Collar

Applejack Rabbit Cocktail
With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away and us being right in the thick of fall, I’m all about the fall-themed cocktails. What makes a fall-themed cocktail?

Chocolate Citrus Cake
Saturday is chocolate day. No, it’s not National Chocolate Day. Believe it or not, that’s in October.

Blood Orange Valentines
You know what I love about this time of year? All the citrus available. I’m such a huge lemon and orange fan, I’d love to have a tree or two of my very own. Actually we do have a lemon tree, but for some weird reason it’s never taken root. I don’t know why, we’ve… Continue reading Blood Orange Valentines
Blood Orange Beef Stir Fry
Fruit is one of my favorite snacks. There’s absolutely nothing better than picking up an apricot, peach or plum and taking a huge bite out of that soft sweet flesh. Unfortunately you can’t get fresh plums or peaches this time of year. If you want fruit, your options are somewhat limited to apples, pears and… Continue reading Blood Orange Beef Stir Fry
