My wife really loves this purple Butterfly Pea Gin! The internet says that mint turns it a different color, so I made her a Gin Mint Julep to see what happened and... BLUE!

I zested some lemons and made some simple syrup to finish my limoncello. Then I juiced the denuded lemons and used the leftover syrup to make a fresh sour mix. So now I have whiskey sours to keep me company until my cello finishes resting. (Back-lit for drama.)

I thrifted my first Zwilling JA Henckels knife today—a Twin Pro S series 8 bread knife for 69¢... not bad for a knife that sells for $110!

I'm really enjoying this Devil's Reef Infinity Skull mug that I picked up last month—I think it might be a while until a mug takes its place as my favorite!

A friend with a Costco membership smuggled me out some prime ribeye caps. Here they are in the oven covered with garlic and herbs, on the plate with blue cheese and then the money shot... medium-rare!

I just nabbed this Case XX Hobo camp utensil knife in its original box and with its papers for $5! I've got to find a reason to go camping now... or maybe I'll just use these at dinner at home tonight.

This is my collection of thrifted bar tools from my home bar. Most of these were bought at the 69¢ miscellaneous kitchen utensil price. And all the money I saved went right into booze (which I just can't seem to get at thrift store prices).

I met this leech-mouth jaguar at a community garage sale yesterday. He eye-stalked me around the sale until I was hypnotized and forced to accept his monstrous will. Paint on board, $5.

I picked up a framed Bridgestone Bicycles poster today, brought it home and immediately hung it up over my two Bridgestone bikes. I think it was Thrift Fate that this poster become mine!

I went to a local Greek festival today and came home with a few food items including a block of kasseri cheese. When I asked the internet what to make with kasseri cheese, it told me SAGANAKI! So here it is in my little no-name #3!

This is my Sunday garlic-and-butter special. I've got a reverse-seared bone-in ribeye (with garlic butter poured over), mashed red potatoes (with garlic and butter) and broccolini (sauteed in garlic and butter). If I knew a way to put garlic and butter in the wine, I'd do it!

My local Goodwill has moved their aloha shirts to the Fashion section and tripled the price. And I'm seeing fewer and fewer old mugs lost in their vase section. Get ready for Peak Tiki... it's just a matter of time until Pier One is selling tiki mugs instead of those copper mule mugs.

Here's a lovingly, but mediocrely executed, cat painting from my thrift store cat collection. The writing on the back titles it Personality Cat and dedicates it To Emily from Grandma. My wife and I have given it an alternate title... Anxiety Cat.

I just picked up three great all-cotton aloha shirts at a Goodwill. I'll pour out a splash of my Mai Tai for the super-cool dad that had to die so these could be mine.

A little catch-and-release at Goodwill today — I passed on this 1915-ish Wagner #10. It had a slight wobble on the bottom and they wanted $40 for it. Best of luck to the next iron enthusiast!
