  • King Biscuit Festival Day 2

    Up and at ‘em!  It’s Day 2 for King Biscuit Blues Fest in Helena, Arkansas! To save some time, we decided to stop by Mickey D’s for breakfast.  We just need something to tide us over until we can get some lunch.  The place was busy with all kinds of folks.  There were the older […]

  • King Biscuit Festival Day 1

    Day 1 of King Biscuit We skipped the first day of the King Biscuit Festival for our day in Vicksburg.  Today, we would join the masses to listen to blues music, eat great food, and imbibe a bit.  The weather promised to be a bit warm today with a cooler evening.  At least it wasn’t […]

  • Captive Spirits Bourbon Barreled Big Gin

    I bought this gin a couple of years ago when I first heard of bourbon barreled gins.  I like gin and love bourbon, so this was something I had to try. Captive Spirits produces the gin and then put it into a used bourbon barrel to finish.  I believe they can’t say that it is aged […]

  • Zubrowka Bison Grass Wodka

    Zubrowka is a Bison Grass infused vodka from Poland and its national spirit. Until recently this vodka was not available in the USA.  Apparently Bison Grass is classified as a carcinogenic and was banned.  I am not sure that what is sold today as Bison Grass Vodka in the USA even has Bison Grass in […]

  • Cajun Vacation: Home Sweet Home March 11

  • Cajun Vacation: Day 5 Happy Birthday, Rick!

    Happy Birthday, Rick.  Today is my son’s 22nd birthday.  On this day 22 years ago, he woke me up from a sound sleep to take care of some important business.  He arrived about 4 weeks early and has been dragging his heels about things ever since. We weren’t in any hurry today either.  I didn’t […]

  • Cajun Vacation: Day 3 Avery Island and Gator Cove

    Today, we had a bit of a slow start.  After breakfast at the hotel, we headed south to Avery Island.  For Rick, we were doing a tour of the Tabasco plant.  He so loves this stuff.  I do believe he puts it on just about everything he eats.  Rich had been in the area almost […]

  • Cajun Vacation: Day 1 and Day 2 Drive, Drive, Drive

    Vacation came early this year.  Rick had his spring break start on March 4.  I decided that March might be a great time to go and check out Louisiana.  As long as I was paying, Rick was up for joining us.  Sure, why not.  Besides, his 22nd birthday would be during that week.  It’ll be […]

  • Stink, stank, stunk

    Saturday night is quiet.  Just me and my hubby hanging out enjoying a little quiet time together.  About 10 o’clock, Sascha needs to go out for the evening.  We talk about going to bed soon.  Sascha wants to go and stretch her legs around the yard.  I’m sure she will be some squatting and depositing […]
