What did you accomplish today?

[raratt]

When it comes to rum it's okay to go Gay

I like my Tanqueray.

 

[Jimdamick]

But I'll go weeks at a time without drinking anything.

Weeks?
What the fuck?
I get pissed off because around 8 hours a day I can't drink anything, because I'm forced to sleep.
Your nuts

I think I'm gonna make myself one of those right now.
Yummy

I made some pickled eggs and sausage yesterday.View attachment 4368324

Those sure look good. I'm out of pickled eggs right now. I make them all the time but they get eaten fast. My lady wouldn't touch them and then one day she tried one and now she eats more of them than me. I also like making Kim chi and fresh bread. I never thought about sausage with them but I like pickled sausage as well so my next batch I'll give that a try.

 

[xtsho]

Per gt. jar...7 eggs, 6" fully cooked sausage sliced and diced, 1/2 of a large onion

2 cups of white vinegar, 1 cup of water, 2a tbs of sea salt, a tbs of sugar, a tbs of pickling spice, a dash of creole seasoning, some peppercorns

Boil and peel the eggs, bring the liquids to a boil for a minute or two, jar it up and fridge for about a week or so. It will keep for a couple of months and you can add more eggs and sausage if you eat everything quick enough.

I've started doing the eggs in a pressure cooker instead of boiling them. I'll do a few dozen at a time and they peel really easily. The shell just falls off.

I went to the liquor store to pick up some essentials. Grabbed a bottle of Absolut Oregon. Some limited edition bottle. I'm sure it drinks the same. Already cracked open the gin. It's early but I decided to take the week off so I'll just be puttering around in the garden and drinking Gin and Tonics. It's just such a refreshing drink. I'll be drinking Mojito's later using mint from the garden but I'll have to have the lady pick up some white rum. I grabbed a bottle of amber but it's not the same. They were out of Mount Gay Silver which is my goto rum for Mojito's. I do like my liquor. But I'll go weeks at a time without drinking anything.

I like Bombay Sapphire for my G&Ts

When do you recommend drinking a G&T?

 

[Jimdamick]

He drank copious quantities of Boone's Farm.

Boone's Farm?
Haven't heard about that in 40 years.
Strawberry Hill and Tango were my go to drinks when I was 16.
Ah, the good old days

Try Barr Hill Gin from VT.
It's made with honey and a little juniper and it is simply marvelous.
Really, if you like gin & tonics or martinis, you'll love it.

It took me just 2 weeks and one day before I got into an argument with someone at work. First thing this morning I got bitched at for lining up all the parts at their install stations. The guy training us wants us to get just the parts for the first OP and do that, then get the parts for the 2nd OP and do that, etc etc. I wanted to get the parts all out for the whole job I was doing next, then just go down the line building. I let that go. Then he got on me because I wanted to line up a shaft and gear before pressing it together instead of just ramming it together with a powered hydraulic press. I bit my tongue. But what put me over the top was some guy I've never met before just showed up and started yelling at me for doing something wrong which was exactly how I was trained how to do it. It's not my fault the guy training us isn't a great teacher. So me and him went back and forth on the procedure getting louder and louder until the guy training us came over and calmed it down. Turns out he's from Chicago and just came to train people on other lines, but knows this line and the way we were trained wasn't 100% correct. Just fucking great, what else don't we know....

Then I went to Wal-Mart after work and bought wireless headphones so I can have tunes at work. I don't think I'm ever taking them off. I wish I remembered to get a fan. Now I'm njust sipping on a white Russian and smoking a pipe of whatever I left in the grinder last night, I think it's Durban. I'm trying to get motivated to go cook some lamb chops and Brussel sprouts....

 

[raratt]

When do you recommend drinking a G&T?

When you want one.

 

[Don_Sequitor]

When you want one.

I was thinking during a special celebration and since I don't collect Gin just wanted to some recommendations.

 

[raratt]

Got the wisteria in it's new home. Went to Ace with some trash bags and a flat shovel because I saw some bags of potting soil yesterday that were falling apart in the sun. I figured I could get them for cheap so I took the needed tools today. The woman that runs the garden dept. told me to just take them. I needed almost all of it for the new planter. I need to put some trim on it in the morning.
Got all the dry Napali in jars today to cure also. Haven't weighed it up yet.

It looks like your area caught some serious downbursts. I'm glad you didn't get bullseyed.

Same. It was right to the north and south of my house. I only lost one Maple in the back 40.

 

[raratt]

Yup, July.
