7/25/2023 0 Comments Psst instant coffee![]() ![]() Although I’m no mathematical genius, the numbers favor prepping your own quality brew at home. If you are in the habit of shelling out $4 for a grande latte every day, do the math. Even my fancy Italian espresso machine, expensive in the short run, “saves money” over the long haul by delivering restaurant quality espresso at a fraction of the cost. You’ll find that creating your own coffee is both more rewarding and more economical than lining up for a hit at the local Starbucks. It probably wouldn’t kill me to quit coffee, but why take chances? Unfortunately it’s too large and unwieldy to take with us on the road. Like an Airstream, it’s a quality product that’s built to last. My espresso machine is a full blown manual experience, a little messy and time consuming but also quite satisfying. I bought a fancy Italian espresso machine ( Rancilio Silvia) with matching burr grinder ( Rancilio Rocky) and started pulling shots. While there may be a few snobs who insist on drinking nothing but $50 cups of cat poop coffee, there’s no reason that quality coffee should be an expensive hobby.Ī few years ago I decided to learn the ancient, or actually the modern, secrets of the barista. I don’t think it’s snobbish to pursue quality in fact, these sorts of pursuits make life interesting. Does that sound snobby? It really shouldn’t. It’s more than just an indulgence – it’s a full blown hobby.Ĭoffee is kind of like cooking and photography – while everyone does it, not everyone does it well. When we’re not camping, I’m one of those people who really enjoys coffee as a daily ritual. ![]() It sounds ridiculous, but for some reason it seemed easier to tackle New York and Yellowstone than coffee. When it came time to create a coffee page on our website, I was overwhelmed by the topic. Over the years, I’ve tried just about every method of making coffee when camping. ![]()

7/25/2023 0 Comments Whiskey sour![]() ![]() Express and garnish with orange peel.Īnother resurrected pre-prohibition cocktail that’s very familiar to today’s modern cocktail bartender, and another foggy origin story. ![]() Orange peel for garnish - optional but recommended Heavy ½ oz maple syrup - (or ¾ oz 2:1 maple:water syrup) ![]() Regardless of its title, this drink takes well to a dash of bitters. Cecconi used Fee’s orange, others recipes call for Angostura. Given this cocktail's pervasive history, I'd hardly call that stealing, inspiration maybe. As he put it, “if you’re going to steal, steal from the best”. I recently asked him where his idea for the maple whiskey sour and he disclosed me it from another bar/restaurant at which Dale DeoGroff has consulted on the menu. The head bartender of both - Michael Cecconi - was my first cocktail mentor, and remains a dear friend. I first encountered, and fell in love with this combination, as the Back Forty cocktail, which was the signature and eponymous cocktail of the Back Forty restaurant in the East Village which, in turn, was the sister restaurant of the Savoy restaurant in Soho, where I was working in at the time. 1929), Habitant (My New Cocktail Book, Charles Watson Russell, 1936), and doubtlessly several more. Over the years it’s soldiered on as the Maple Leaf (Artistry of Mixing Drinks, 1936), Revolving Door (Here’s How Again! Judge Jr. Express the oils from the grapefruit peel and add it into the glass.Įven though it has existed for at least a century, a whiskey sour with maple syrup hasn’t coalesced under a singular name, which is strange considering how simple and delicious it is. Prepare as above and serve in a chilled coupe or martini glass. Grapefruit peel for garnish - also not traditional, but good. ½ teaspoon lemon juice - not traditional but helps with balance. Ahhh, cocktail history ignorance is bliss. The drink is great either way (for what it's worth, so it the rum version with 2 oz Jamaican rum, ¾ oz lime juice, and a heavy ½ oz maple syrup). What gives? For the whole story check out this great article from Robert Moss, he sets the record pretty straight. What’s more, apparently there was another Brown Derby cocktail that was popular in New York during the 1930s that called for dark rum, lime and maple sugar/syrup. Though a drink that is identical to it appears in Harry Craddock’s 1930 Savoy cocktail book under a different name, the De Rigueur. It appears to have originated in the late 1920’s/early 1930’s, just before prohibition’s repeal. The backstory of the Brown Derby is far more complicated than its recipe. ![]() I sometimes find it to be a hair sweet so I like to add a teaspoon or so of lemon juice, but that’s up to you. While the Brown Derby is clearly a close relative to the sour, it very much has it’s own flavor profile. This is one of the my go to cocktails for people well acquainted with the Whiskey Sour but looking for something outside of the standard rolodex. Finally, while it's not traditional at all, adding a dash of Angostura bitters to a Whiskey Sour is pretty darn awesome. They can be served either up or on the rocks (I lean towards rocks), and the addition of an egg white for a lighter, frothier texture is a pre-prohibition fixture which didn’t survive too far past the 1930s, though many bartenders use them today. I personally like the egg white, but it's up to you. There are a few options regarding preparation. As the bartender who made me my first real Whiskey Sour - which was a revelation early on in my cocktail journey - put it, “it’s a great way to drink brown in the summer.” (Though I wouldn't limit it to just that.) Now it's time to jog those memories, and enlightened the others, because when made correctly, the Whiskey Sour stands in the pantheon of all-time greats.Īs far as refreshing whiskey classics go, for my money, it’s only legitimate challenger is the Mint Julep. By that point, drinker’s had forgotten, or never knew in the first place, the joys of the original. At one point during the cocktail golden age at the end of the 19th century it was just about the most popular thing going, but by the end 20th century, it had been reduced to a cloying shadow of its former self, made with sour mix rather than fresh-squeezed juice. ![]() 7/25/2023 0 Comments Xpo logistics goodwill writedown![]() ![]() XPO is taking decisive action in the five areas of its previously announced action plan to enhance North American LTL network efficiencies and growth.

He is a member of the Avengers and has helped the team defeat some of their greatest foes. He had connections to Mister Fantastic, Iron Man, the Hulk, Spider-Man, and Professor X. However, Sentrys powers also have a dark side. The Sentry was an optimistic and socially accepted hero who stood in marked contrast to the mostly freakish nature of the other heroes. Maybe Robert Reynolds mysteriously appears and aids in Scott’s retrieval or maybe Cap find Reynolds in the quantum realm also. In the Marvel Universe, Sentry is a powerful superhero with the ability to fly and generate intense heat and light. Sentrys Powers Are Changing Into Something Sinister One of Sentrys biggest gifts and curses is his incredible powers, as no heroes in the Marvel Universe can rival his true might as he has the powers of a million exploding suns. ***** SPOILERS FOR ANTMAN & THE WASP *****Īt the end of Antman & The Wasp we see that Scott is trapped in the quantum realm. Meanwhile in the comics The Sentry, along with Captain America, have been to the microverse therefore this is possible. The way he could be introduced is already part of the MCU as we saw in Antman & The Wasp people can survive in the quantum realm for many years. This explanation could also be applied to the question of where has this guy been for so many years and in the same way he could be fitted into the early days of the MCU and Disney can say that Robert’s always been there. To save the Earth Sentry eliminated the World’s memories of him and the void. Sadly the major reason that nobody remembers him is that it was found that his arch-rival, the void, was another part of Robert and fed on memories to grow stronger. After ingesting an experimental super-soldier formula, the lowly Robert Reynolds became the Sentry, if only in his mind. Image courtesy of tumblr user New Brevoort Formspring ![]() Having battled alongside the likes of the Hulk and Captain America. However, The Sentry was retroactively fitted to the early days of marvel comics. The character is quite a recent addition to the comics, as his introduction to Marvel was in his own solo series back in the year 2000. ![]() One of these characters is that of Robert Reynolds A.K.A The Sentry. Marvel of course have their own collection of characters that are similar to DC’s man of steel. It’s also fair to say that the MCU is leaps and bounds better. Safe to say the films from DC are not doing too well. Warning: contains spoilers for Heroes Reborn 7 The demonic villain Mephisto just resurrected the Sentry - Marvels most powerful hero, and an incredibly dangerous superhuman whose existence threatens the cosmos itself. ![]() 7/25/2023 0 Comments Am guitar jam tracks![]() Turner and Helders were neighbours and close friends, and they met Nicholson in secondary school.
