Sharkbait - July 9, 2021July 8, 2021

Happy Friday one and all. I've spent the last two weeks on Cape Cod for a little vacation and sadly that will all come to an end tomorrow when we head back, where I start a new job on Monday. In that end, we're going extra simple this week. My mixers

Look, I'm going to keep it short & sweet since it's not my day. As a Canadian, we just had our celebration, so I'm just going to stand back & watch the neighbours do their thing, hoping it doesn't spill over into my yard. So, here are some brief words from

I promise - no novels tonight. Instead it's July 3rd, and you know what that means... It's the anniversary of Samuel de Champlain founding Quebec in 1608! Sailing with 32 colonists from Fra-- Sorry - I lost my mind there for a second. Anyway, it's the first day of a three-day US holiday weekend,

ballsofsteelandfury - July 2, 2021June 30, 2021

Litre keeps threatening us with a good time by saying he's going to watch KTLA for one morning and write a post about it. I am particularly excited since that's the station that I have in the background every morning as I'm working at home. The morning starts off with

Happy belated Canada day, and Fourth of July weekend everyone. Hopefully everyone was able to stay relatively cool, considering both sides of North America were borderline cooked. Taking inspiration from that, I went looking for something that would be hydrating, as well as boozy. Luckily, I had some mint that needed

I was originally planning to have this post run on July 4th weekend, but you all decided to post some tasty goodness and so I changed my plans before the links went dead. I thank you for your contributions to Sexy Friday and making this site a place for learning

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: En Garde!

Sharkbait - June 25, 2021June 24, 2021

Hello and happy Friday yet again. This week I finally got around to making a drink I've always seemed to be one or two ingredients short every time I go to make it. It's called the Lucien Gaudin Cocktail. Who was Lucien Gaudin? According to the Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails

Banner image via Best of Kin Brewing. Hello all, Because today is the day international corporations have set aside for the worship of the father, and I don't have one any more, I have chosen instead to take a lovely trip up BC's Sunshine Coast with WineWife to go beer & cider tasting. For

One question: Has anyone watched the "Loki" series yet? Having been raised by comic books, I've been partial to the Marvel movies. (Especially since I've been greatly disappointed by the DC ones.) I want to start, but the only TV we have that is modern enough to allow us to

Sexy Friday, Letterkenny edition

ballsofsteelandfury - June 18, 2021June 15, 2021

I've finally caught up on all 9 seasons of Letterkenny on Hulu and I can't stop telling anyone I know about this show. Surprisingly, quite a few of the people I know were not aware of it. I know, right? Well, I could sit right here and go on and on

Happy Friday once again. Hopefully we're all enjoying the lesser footy matches this morning! If you're looking for a tasty beverage to enjoy during Croatia vs. Czech Republic or (more importantly/drunkenly) England vs. Scotland, may I present this week's cocktail: The Vieux Mot from the Please Don't Tell cocktail book

Around here, we like things. And one of those things, is dogs. So tonight we are blessed with a COVID miracle - the second night of the Westminster Dog Show. This weekend marks the 145th iteration of the event – the second-oldest continuously held sporting event behind the Kentucky Derby – which
