Good trout fishing there

Would Swisher have gotten in trouble if he'd dropped
a hook in one of the feeder creeks?

Not as long as he paid bought a "non-resident" fishing licence,
which costs a bit more than a resident one.

I know that tourists are there for the soaking, but
unless one can purchase day or week licenses, is
there a reason for outlanders to fall for that kind
of thing? The last time I planned to go on a fishing
expedition, in some jurisdictions one could fish for
up to several days without a license at all. Of course,
that was decades ago, and the trip was cut short by the
engine of the car we were using suffering a push rod
failure; good thing, else we would no doubt have
starved, my hunting and fishing expertise not being so
good as my gathering and preparation skills.

Title: Embury's Sidecar
8 parts Cognac or Armagnac
2 parts lemon juice
1 part Cointreau or triple sec

One of sweet, two of sour, and enough booze
to last an hour?

It turns out to be a tasty ratio for those who generally drink their
spirits straight up or over rocks.

Mr. Embury must have been very much the manly man.

Nadir Blue
cat: booze, one of sour, two of sweet

Just 2?

1 2/3 oz gin
1/3 oz cherry liqueur sweet
2/3 oz lemon juice sour
2/3 oz strawberry syrup sweet
1/2 oz grenadine sweet
2 ts pineapple juice sweet and sour
ice
5 pineapple chunks sweet and sour
soda
2/3 oz blue curacao sweet

That's a ratio thing, popularized in the 19th century
as a cocktail formula that (as with the complete
protein pairings we've been talking about) people in
a hurry could rely on. One of sour, two of sweet,
three of strong, and four of weak, the ditty goes.
The main body of this recipe (minus the curacao,
which I ignored unintentionally in my totting up
of sweet-sour things) pretty much adheres to that.

Breakfast of champions. Other noggy things
would work just as well.

A few of his books were sent to me for review
back when I did that sort of nonsense, and they
were fun and full of that kind of whimsy.

Title: Soft Cream
Categories: Sauces, Desserts
Servings: 15

2 c Whipping Cream
1/3 c Icing Sugar
1 tb Vanilla Extract
2 tb Brandy
2 tb Frangelico Liqueur
1/4 c Sour Cream

Servings: 15

Chill beaters and a medium bowl until very cold. Place all ingredients in
bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft, loose
peaks form, 3 - 4 minutes. The cream should have a slightly runny,
cloud-like consistency that softly drapes over the bread pudding. Do not
overbeat. Cover tightly and refrigerate until served.
