“View 975 replies”. Yeah that’s a hard pass from me.

I’d love to understand more why politicians are so hung up on reporting deadlines. As a citizen and a voter I struggle to care about whether your arbitrary filing deadline numbers show financial strength and leading with it reinforces the perception that most money is what matters most to you.

Its a touch too sweet. The cassis is syrupy. But otherwise really nice! Play around with ratios a bit but give it a try.

I have friends everywhere.

Equal parts (so 3/4oz each for 1 serving)
- creme de cassis from France
- paranubes Mexican agricole style rum
- Armenian brandy
- Antica vermouth (Italian)

Winning isn't the power to make another lose. Over and over we see that this president believes that's what winning is. A shallow sad view of the world. Winning is something we do together. When we win together we grow stronger. When all we do is make losers at best we just lose last.

This really shatters my trust in the judgement of the committee that gave the same prize to Kissinger.

Everyone loves @ranchogordo.bsky.social bean club day!

I think he's breaking at least 6 crack commandments

This one was really nice. For 2 servings... 3oz Etsu orange aroma gin, 2oz fresh lemon juice, 1oz Skiprock blackberry liqueur, 3/4oz JM sirup de canned, orange bitters. Shaken.

Paraphrasing Hannah Einbinder... Go Seahawks, fuck ICE, and free Palestine.

Oh and a bag of shredded cheese in with the bean and veg mix. Mashed about 2/3 of the beans and cooked it down wn to get the texture right.

Bean enchiladas with @ranchogordo.bsky.social Flor de Junio beans. Turned out real good! I'll post some pics of the process but filling is beans, zucchini, Anaheim and Fresno peppers, and red spring onions with cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, hatch chili powder, garlic powder...

Super Lucky Black Eyes Peas ( @ranchogordo.bsky.social ) with kale, onion, garlic, chipotle powder, garlic powder, epazote, Mexican oregano, and bay leaf. Turned out really nice!

Baby’s first beans. @ranchogordo.bsky.social mayocobas!

Updated cosmo for these cloudy days. 1.5oz Etsu Orange Aroma gin, .75oz cranberry “grenadine”, 1oz cold pressed whole limes juice. The grenadine is just juiced fresh cranberries as a 1:1 simple with a touch of orange flower water. The secret ingredient is the whole juiced limes with all the oils.

Perhaps this is a Japanese 75? 1oz Etsu Orange Aroma gin, 1/2oz yuzu curacao, 1/2oz fresh yuzu juice. Royal shake with some yuzu peel. Top w/ 2oz of this nice sake. The yuzu juice is very mild on sourness so it doesn’t overpower the sake. Overall pretty nice.

Hoping for the best for everyone in Jamaica recovering from the hurricane while appreciating some of the island’s finest work. Lime syrup, fresh lime juice, black tea, and Hampden Great House.

This is a take on The Affiliate cocktail. The rum choice matters and the Xamaica is great here. The Likor cherry is wonderful but probably not as sweet as Heering sonit needs the maraschino. 1.5 oz rum, 3/4 Likor, 1/2 amantillado sherry, 1/4 maraschino, 2 dashes of bitters.

Would a little scoop be good on an egg taco? Heck yeah. And with some of the goat horn and yellow serrano pickled in the fridge with salt, vinegar, lime simple syrup (they’re in the beans too cooked but not fresh - I was worried I was overdoing the heat). Wonderful bit of heat and acid.

ah, got a good bit of the Rancho Gordo oregano in here too. Overall a stellar pot of beans.

Loving the results from baking them in the dutch oven instead of a pot on the stovetop too. Presoaked for like 4 hours and then probably another 4-5 in the oven with water added a couple times.

Ayocote Morado beans with chorizo, onion, carrot, carrot greens, a few dried peppers and lots of fresh peppers. Red and yellow serranos, red poblano, purple goat horn. Alvarez Organic Farm had great stuff at the farmers market this week to pair with these @ranchogordo.bsky.social beans!

I guess you could also call this a rum gimlet but I think the lime oils remind me a lot of ti punch.

Made a cocktail that’s a mix of daiquiri and ti punch. 1.5oz rhum agricole (I used a mix of aged Rhum Duquesne and Paranubes), 1/2 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz simple syrup made from lime peel oleo saccharum and brown sugar. Shaken and served up. Really nice way to enjoy agricole style rhum.

Picked this up a while back and finally got around to getting a display case. It is awesome. The post it sits on is magnetic and there’s a small metal plate added to the bottom. Turned out really nice. Thanks @dimension20.bsky.social for the opportunity to donate to some great causes!

Unboxing this beauty. What is it? Why it is the… Shhh!!! Speak not! #dimension20 #unboxing #speaknot

A sazerac riff. 1.5oz rye whiskey, 0.25 absinthe, 0.25 mint simple syrup, 0.25 pommeau, dash of Peychauds. The mint and the sweetness/fruitiness and oak from the pommeau are really nice!

oh right, half a large red sweet onion diced in there too

Chili salad. All the parts of chili but fresh. Cherry tomatoes, chiles (orange bell, jalapeño, fresno, mild hatch, serrano), Rio Zape beans (the other half and the cooking liquid in the main chili, these are rinsed for salad), cumin-lime-avacado oil vinaigrette, cubed cheddar, dallop of yogurt.
