Arapahoe Basin (a ski area in Colorado) does Bloody Marys with bacon infused vodka. The garnish is a piece of bacon cooked on a skewer. They are the best breakfast in the whole world...

for 1 L... "3 pints of warm water and dissolve two and a half pounds of sugar" For .375 L... 3 pints x .375 = 1.125 pints (or 2.25 cups) of water 2.5 pounds x .375 = 0.9375 pounds sugar

I have been adding a couple of star anise lately. I think it helps round out the flavor profile. It's bloody become an addiction...

Ok, so this is not a traditional Marsala chai, rather a mixture that I have been playing around with. I like it in the evenings or early mornings when tending the Q. 1 Tablespoon black pepper corns 1 Tablespoon coriander seed 15 - 20 green cardamom pods 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg 3...

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely give that a go next time!

So this came out really good now that it's sat for almost 3 months! I went with the above recipe sans the extract. Let it all sit together for a few weeks then mashed up the cherries and let it sit another week. Then strained it all out and bottled it and it has been resting since. Was...

For saving the juice, I use ice cube trays, then transfer the frozen juice cubes into a ziploc. Nice way to have them already portioned out...

I just did a batch in a 1 gallon container starting with a 750 ml bottle of everclear and it was just over half full (by eyeball reckoning) when the water and sugar got added.

I ended up with 2 racks of BRITU for lunch and the leg of lamb for dinner... Had time to clean out the ashes and with one minute to midnight got 2 pork butts on for tomorrow. I so need to find a way to make a living from playing with fire...

I'm going to attempt Chris' leg of lamb that he did on Smoke Day.

If only they had a 22.5 door, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
