Stayed up late and rewatched Brando’s only directorial effort and paired it with something for movie night on the #dogsearmenu

One Eyed Jacks — Bourbon, Averna, Punt e Mes, and orange bitters over a tart cherry juice ice sphere.

This show is really good so far but the soundtrack is even better.

What else could you call a mashup of a Revolver and a Longshoreman on a crime fiction themed cocktail menu?

The Wire — Bourbon, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, Averna, and orange bitters. Didn’t have fresh orange to torch the rind and that would be only change to it for #dogsearmenu

Are they out of movies?

Have literally never had the urge to rewatch ANOTHER 48 HOURS when you can just rewatch 48 HOURS another time.

Tantrum, World Ender — Bourbon, Rum, Chinola Mango, Velvet Falernum, acid boosted Sumo Citrus juice and preserved lemon brine served in a Sumo citrus rind.

High end item on the #dogsearmenu

In case you need a cozy murder mystery distraction from *waves hands* everything.

My friend made a movie that was in a film festival in NY. I was so excited I made a cocktail to celebrate!

Rabbit Rabbit — Paranubes rum, Lychee SoHo, Campari, fresh lemon juice, splash of preserved lemon brine and a foaming agent. Not based on a book but still going on the #dogsearmenu !

Got a new low score on my A1C and good marks on all my panels and scores from a recent doctors visit. Wish the world wasn’t such a shit show so I could feel better about this but taking the small victories as they come.

Luck, The Hammer — He could be the bartender for the #dogsearmenu if he wasn’t so busy fighting in @cataclysmarcade

Bourbon, Campari, St. Germaine, fresh lemon juice and preserved lemon brine make for an underground Boulevardier.

Going to be hanging out in Discord and doing an AMA about the trading card game I have been working on all year — Cataclysm Arcade — starting at 12:30 et.

I even got a haircut so come and hang out and say hello. Discord.gg/cataclysmarcade

I went with the Tunis and it was great. Like a really complex Arnold Palmer.

“This feels like a lot of box for one cat. It’s nice; but do you have anything… smaller?”

Was waiting for you to do that! With my last untapped mana...

I did a few Portal events but no state fairs. Definitely did some events in NYC at street fairs. I still have my Portal opera glasses even.

My New Year's resolution is for you to not Counterspell this when I play it in all my Commander decks this year.

Queet with the most recent picture of your pet.

Bashie!

Also the end credit for Blofeld is pretty sweet.

TIL that Red Grant in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE was played by an utterly unrecognizable Robert Shaw — one of my favorite actors of all time.

Here is the index. If there is anything that looks close I am happy to snap a pic of the page.

It has been a minute since I baked anything but wanted to try a Levain style version of the Molten Pinnacles with triple chocolate, candied orange slices and gochujang.

Super decadent with a gooey cake-like texture. Going to make these happen more often.

Got a whole booster pack worth of mid-century home economics cookbooks.

What is your first pack / first pick?

I am staying open and taking the colorless “Entertaining: Six or Eight”.
