Well hello there everyone! Didn't expect an "in season" Sunday Gravy post now did you? One of the promises I made to myself was that if I cooked anything tasty during football season that could be converted into a "Game Day" meal then I would share that fucker. Guess what? I cooked just that

Well, it's Friday. We made it through another week. Let's have a drink to celebrate. As suggested a couple weeks ago, I decided to focus this week's drinking project on a single drink, that has multiple versions. I figured since I started this project with an old fashioned, I should

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Oh Sherry!

Sharkbait - September 20, 2019September 19, 2019

Happy Friday. First off, I apologize for getting a Steve Perry song stuck in all of our heads. But it had to be done, because I'm focusing on sherry this week. Sherry is one of those ubiquitous bottles that everyone seems to have in their liquor cabinet that almost never

Happy Friday everyone. Hopefully your Friday is going better than mine.
