It was too sunny of a day to not grill. I picked up freshly ground lamb and goat, grilled them with special spices and Havarti cheese between toasted rye, then served them with a side of baba ganoush and garlic-herb goat cheese. Oh, yes. Yes. We eat good here.

Viking Blod
Tonight I embarked upon a journey that began some three hundred years ago with a legendary recipe for Nordic honeywine. I have been eyeing this bottle of Viking Blod by Dansk Mjødat – Without a doubt, one of the most amazing brews I have ever had. 5/5 I took...
Chocolate Honey Nut Scotch
My latest home brewing project has been bottled. It is a Honey Scotch Whisky with almonds and chocolate. Just the right amount of thickness and a sweet flavor. Damn, I am good.
