January 24, 2011 (Day 359) — Seattle Manhattan What’s coffee known for besides trust-fund hippies who can afford to not have a job and complain about “those corporations, man?” Okay, besides that and hipsters and crusty facial hair? Coffee of course! This recipe from the master mixologists at Jim Beam created this sweet and powerful […]
December 11, 2010 (Day 315) — Café Barbados The other evening we took a taste test of Cockspur’s Fine Aged Rum and their 12-year Rum.

Skip Knox at Boise State University: Alexander was a bundle of contradictions and extremes. He was both mystical and practical, a dreamer […]
February 11, 2010 (Day 12) — Frostini It’s eventual. With all the cocktails out there, and my limited resources in small-town America, I had to come across a foofy drink eventually. And… truth be told… between you and me (We’re friends right?) … I occasionally enjoy a foofy drink to even out all the manly […]
