I Love Airag



Nothing like Mongolian fermented mare’s milk to put you on the good foot. I am about the most unmongolian person in the world; but this stuff is among my soul drinks. Made even more precious because it is unobtanium back home. Right up there with white Hermitage and about 50 times cheaper. 🥰🇲🇳🐴 #airag #айраг #mongolia #topdrop

Rummy Hooks Up with a Baby Geisha



A five-dollah cup of coffee and a rum infused Japanese chocolate bar, and we'll say it's all OK. Here's a little harbinging for those that need a little heralding about now. Living in that bad, bad town, Minneapple, has left me with a finely honed sense of spring, and I can absolutely feel the season is on its way even if it stops to dawdle along the road. #coffee #panamacoffee #babygeisha #rummychocolate

Let's get lambinated!



Lamb, baby, lamb. It's what's on for Easter. It's exponentially better than a fistful of peeps, those yellow marshmallow chicks that frankly creep me out more than Italian circus clowns. Follow the video directions and in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail, you will be demonstrating the depth of your goodwill to everybody with whom you share this tender bit of roasted lamb goodness. It may not be what you want but it sure is what you need.

Le Chook; C'est Chic--Poulet Basquaise



Been a long time. Here's a little something chicken that the O.G. put together to help the helpless in the kitchen. Easy food is both easy and pretty tasty. So very, very chic and yet at the same time tres rustique to boot. What more could you ask for? No egg in your beer for now, go away and start cooking this, while you're at it, make some rice and a mixed green salad too. Who loves you, baby?

Ladies and Gentlemen: Light Your Charcoal, the 2015 BBQ Season is On

The Results are in--the ribs are good
Smoking well seasoned ribs over fragrant hickory wood removes the soul destroying taint of Minnesota winter. 

Below is the official theme song of the 2015 BBQ season, which will be played during the initial pouring of the ceremonial libations until the inevitable freeze returns.

Who Do You Love?



Yes who do you love? Charlotte Rampling or Penelope Cruz. Quickly now you're going to have to say yes to one and let the other one ride. 
Okay, take a moment to decide while you listen to this:

Lamb Dumplings AKA Gyoza, Potstickers, Guotie etc.



A fusion of Japanese and Chinese, usually made with pork. These crisp yet mochi-mochi wrappers contain a soft filling of 1/2 ground lamb-1/2 grated cabbage, scallions, garlic and a little salt. These demonically addictive little pillows of joy cry out for cold Czech beer. Impossible to ignore their mellifluous siren song.
You can't, you won't and you don't stop.
