December 18, 2011 (Day 264) — Hoar Frost You know it’s easy to tell that I’m part of the generation raised with Beavis and Butthead? While talking to my father about hoar frost I couldn’t stop giggling. Even as an adult and productive member of society, my sense of humor is on par with my 13-year-old. Yes. […]

December 16, 2011 (Day 262) — White Christmas Everyone has their Christmas (or Holiday) traditions that they tend to be especially fond of. One of mine has always been A Charlie Brown Christmas.

But just because they’re a rare and endangered animal doesn’t mean you can’t drink one! That’s right ladies and germs (a little topical ointment humor there), tonight’s […]

February 9, 2010 (Day 10) — Turkey Peck Okay, peppermint schnapps. You don’t like me and I don’t like you. But I paid good, hard-earned money for you, so by God, we’re going to get along. Or I’m going to force you down my gullet eventually. Whichever comes first! Tonight’s cocktail is something called the […]

February 08, 2010 (Day 9) — Iceberg Maybe peppermint schnapps in an aquired taste. Perhaps it just takes time to identify the subtle nuances of the liquor, learning the ins and outs of the various complexities of the flavors.
