I'll be serving cranberry Old Fashioneds on Xmas. Found a bottle of Angel's Envy bourbon, so thatll be the base.

My big issue is that I can't get to the pipes leading to the faucet because they are encased in the tub deck structure. Stupid design.

I had one the other day where the sugar was replaced with fig jam. It was yummy. Not too much fig jam.

I'd say I feel left out, here in the one part of the continental US that won't be affected, but honestly, I'm okay with being left out.

Earlier I was thinking "I'm sick of the cold" followed by "that's a bad sign for moving to CO". But really, what I'm sick of is the worry the cold brings. That's what really gets me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always been under the impression that 'turning into steam' is the literal definition of 'boiling'.

Common feeling/thoughts for many people and the media doesn't help.

Well I'm home alone awaiting the connection of the new fiber optic internet, and the delivery of the wife's new tv. The fiber optic is for her too: let's not mince words There will be no ride today. I kind of suspected that.
The fiber optic 35 Mbps will be revolutionary. We've not had anything higher than 5 for the eight years we've been here.

I remember going from a T3 at school to 56k back home. That hurt unbelievably. Mom has the basic Comcast package at... I think 75Mbps. We'll take over the bill and bump it to 400 or so when we arrive. Even that is a kick in the pants compared to GF here, but probably good enough.

Yeah we are mean parents.
My kids also tell us they were the LAST of their friends to get iPhones, we had them on "dumb" phones until about the iPhone 5 era.
p.s. of course now they are spoiled brats on iPhones 12, while I am still running an 8.

Once the berries have cooled, I roll them in sugar, and then let them dry so the sugar gets hard. I string the sugared berries onto a drink toothpick or sprig of rosemary, and use it as a garnish in the drink.
The drink recipe is easy:
1.5 ounces of bourbon
.5 to 1 oz of the cranberry simple syrup depending on how much sweetness you want to add
a few dashes of Angostura bitters
shake with ice
strain and pour into short glass over a square cube
add garnish
For this I like a smoother bourbon (using Angel's Envy this year), so I don't use a rye which is my usual Old Fashioned go to.

I have some fig preserves, but they're a little lumpy for a drink...

Really. What dumb ass wrote that? Maybe he meant it freezes quickly at below zero? Going from gas to a solid? I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt. People are stupid. It deserves a "SMFH"
