Our newest most favorite cocktail is the Ranglum. It’s similar to a corn’n’oil, except there’s lime juice instead of bitters. I use my house-made falernum and it makes a drink that goes down a little too easy. I’ve been using Lemon Hart Demerara 151 rum as the overproof. It makes it just the slightest bit [...]

Dinner these days is almost always a joint effort between Larry and I – between long days at work for him, and long days in culinary school for me, it’s a rare treat to have a real dinner at home. Larry chose this guacamole recipe. It’s a bit smokey from the bacon and roasted tomatillos [...]
