I am so impressed by your every night meals--also by the fact you set the table. 😋That rarely happens in this household 😲😬. Although you do use the same 'napkins' 😋

Thank you!

I've made Gin Smashes. But what is in the Space version?

The best use I've found for it is palmiers to keep in the freezer for emergency hors d'oeuvres. Slather it on thawed puff pastry. Top that with shredded parmesan and slices of proscuitto. Roll. Slice. Freeze. Bake at 425 right of the freezer.

The no-longer-in-existence Meauxbar in New Orleans used to serve the bone marrow luge.

Yes. But, I' guessing @bloviatrix might have had one like I had. It was very large. I was walking through the Atlanta airport and kept swatting at what I thought was a horsefly. When I stopped walking, I realized there was nothing there for me to swat. This was nothing like a normal floater. There was something "wrong" with my eye. Thankfully it was not a torn retina like I was thinking it was. And to some degree it lessened over time. That was 5 years ago. Thankfully my other eye is still okay. Because if you get a PVD in one eye, the odds are you will have one in the other eye eventually.

Posterior Vitreous Detachment?

Guessing you didn't watch the Alabama vs Miami game. The 'Canes didn't cross midfield until their last possession of the 1st half 😆 😎 Final score 44-13. A paltry 88 yards rushing, 178 passing. Barring more injuries, this might be the best defense of the Saban era.

That is excellent news. I am so glad for y'all.

I'd describe that as intangibles. They matter. But you can't put your finger on how much (and to some extent why) they make a difference in the experience. And the values vary from individual to individual.

Was the sablefish miso marinated, or plain? I am having it miso marinated tomorrow. And thought about smoking it in my gin. But thought that might be gilding the lily, so to speak.

Wishing her the best of outcomes 🙏

A Rod came and spoke to the Alabama Football team last week. Here's a quick clip of the speech to the team And here is the long (25 minutes) casual discussion with 4 Bama players who will (barring serious injury) be drafted into the NFL in the next few years (Bryce Young, Slade Bolden, Will Anderson and John Metchie)
