Keep posting. We won't be afraid now.

College Cooking - time to level up the cookbook game now too though

The cookbooks belong to the wife. The extent of my cooking ability comes from one Cajun and one Italian grandmother.

Last thing tonight, I promise: I had a pour of Still Austin Cask Strengh at Marfa in south CS tonight while at dinner with the wife. I had never tried any of their stuff prior but had some buddies say it was pretty good.

It surprised me. Pretty bold stuff for Texas bourbon and wasn't over the top oaky like you get with many selections in our climate.

That being said, they were advertising at Disch-Falk Field on Tuesday night as an NIL provider for Longhorn athletics so as much as I liked it, I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Horns down. Always.

You're going to need a much larger bourbon shelfing system. And attach it to the wall so it won't topple.

I've already propositioned my father-in-law for such a project.

I know. I hated to give them any credit after what I saw on Tuesday inside their ballpark, but that cask strength was pretty tasty.

I really need this new distillery in Bryan to start pumping out good barrels once their stuff matures enough to put on the market. I've had some of their early stuff, and it's promising

Not because it's "that great", but I don't see a bottle of Blanton's on the cart. I personally like both 107 and EHT more, and they're cheaper, but Blanton's is worth a try.

I also really like double oaked products, they tend to have a little more depth without the harshness so Elijah Craig Toasted barrel, woodford double oaked (you can find that anywhere), as well as OF1910 &20 are solid. I really liked the 1924, but probably not at the $125 retail price.

I've had Blanton's a number of times so I didn't feel the need to spend the money on it when there were so many others out there that had similar or better reviews.

I can't speak highly enough on the Frey Ranch stuff. The cask strength bottle I've got from them is right up there with EH Taylor and Eagle Rare in terms of overall profile.

I'd like to add a Starlight VDN to my collections soon, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere in Bryan/College Station.
