In business since 1951 the Parkersburg, WV company had suffered thru lagging sales. However now Mister Bee has made a comeback. We snacked on many bags over the weekend, cause their "200 miles fresher"!
Off to the mountains with some old college buddies this weekend. And since vodka martinis are favorite in this crowd, I'm sure there'll be more than a few downed. We mix our own with crushed ice in a shaker. However I think sometime before Sunday rolls around I'll try to slip in a little gin and...
Understood but.... on our short dead end street, a cul-de-sac, only 7 houses and no thru traffic. I'm pretty certain I or any our other neighbors could be laying in the middle of the street, run over, bleeding, drunk, heart attack, etc., and this couple would continue getting into their car and...
Amazing to me is a neighbor who walks out their front door, never looks left or right, never acknowledging anyone around them. Would it hurt to just say "hey" or throw up their hand, or at least grunt? Are they so absorbed in their own little world they could care about anyone or anything else...
I had an aunt that made amazing oven fried chicken. Also great bread pudding.
My grandmother could make a meal out of almost anything. Guess that's what you learn to do when growing up in the time she did.
Some say a vodka martini isn't a martini at all. But love a Grey Goose vodka martini, in a long-stemmed Belvedere glass, easy on the Vermouth, and 3 olives.
Ummm umm umm! :D
Once again weather change has forced me to put down my straw and back to felt. Yesterday's high 64 and now a winter storm warning next 24+ hours really sux. :eek: This time my great-grandfathers Dobbs from sometime in the mid-60's. :) Probably the last hat he ever purchased from Stern Brothers...
Thanks Bowen, luv my Dobbs.
Near heat wave here today reached 54 degrees! Got some things done outside been needing done.
Sadly Willie has passed and his juke joint closed. Great guy, what a character loved by all and awesome place. No place I'd rather be on a Thur night than Po Monkey's. He's...
Finally, today sun is shining and might actually get over 50 degrees. Reason enuf to get out an old favorite. Dobbs Toledo purchased 12 years ago from Floyd Shankerman at his store in Clarksdale, MS. Still in great shape, but no recent pics. This from couple years ago with Willie Seaberry aka Po...
I tried on a nice Biltmore President at Hats in the Belfry, National Harbor, MD. Waited until they had it on sale later and purchased it online from them. I thought the shop was nice with good service. But now believe it to be closed.???
Picked this little ditty up from bartender at Bridge Tender Inn on Anna Maria Island, FL. The "after work special" is a warm weather cocktail. And if it ain't warm weather, it'll make ya think it is.
1/2 pineapple and 1/2 orange juice, crushed ice in shaker
2 shots coconut rum (Siesta Key is...
Totally non-alcoholic last night. Pellegrino sparkling water while watching the Mountaineers beat Baylor in BIG 12 tourney. Tonight playing Texas Tech and could be time for a Jameson Irish Whiskey. After all it's nearly St Patrick's Day. :D
My father, a WWII vet, who grew up in the country ALWAYS carried his trusty "Tree Brand". Fact is he sharpened it so much the blade was worn down. But needless to say, sharp enough to shave with. I've never carried a pocket knife and he always gave me "what for" about it. I miss my dad.
Love the Popeye Doyle (French Connection) pork pie. But generally not much of a fan of stingy brims. Seeing way too many hipsters wearing cheap looking stingy's today.
