Is that the bottle you just bought?  😜  If so, that ...ish must be really good.  😎

Two big sports victories by my favorite teams today.  Sooners in the annual clash against the Longhorns. Then followed up by an Astros win in game 1 of the ALDS. 

 

I'm having a celebratory pour for both.

Looks like I did the same, or close to it. Not sure if it's "all the way through", but walking has been rough, never mind kicking people and whatnot. I may pick your brain on rehabbing it, haven't decided on surgery yet.

 

Stupid aging. Makes ya wanna drink.

 

All of the sports injuries over the years and my first knee injury was about 23 years ago when I tore my meniscus (same knee) when I tripped over a landscape timber while taking my kids around Trick-or-Treating.  My doctor, at the time, told me to tell the Ortho doctor that I hurt it playing tennis so they would give it more urgency.  Same knee, two meniscus tears and an ACL tear.  

 

Whiskey is the best medicine.  I haven't drank bourbon all weekend.  Nope, not a single drop.  Now, rye whiskey would be another story.  😜

I will admit I thought WTF when I saw this.  Yesterday, my wife wanted to grab some apple cider to make an Apple Jack Cocktail.  There was a guy at the apple cider display with his young daughter, maybe 10 years old.  They had Regular Apple Cider, Mixed Apple Cider, Gala Apple Cider, and - yep, a Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider.  We both said what the ??? at the same time and laughed. I told him if I want to spice up my apple cider I will add bourbon.  He told me that he was heading over to the bourbon aisle.  His daughter looked at my wife and they both starting laughing.

If it was, I would be in a coma!

The bottle that I ordered hasn't isn't here yet, but I have a lot of spares...

She was disappointed and end up with a raspberry bourbon.  An Applejack Cocktail requires simple syrup and bitters.  She had bitters but didn't feel like making simple syrup.  I have seen some recipes add maple syrup in place of simple syrup and add cinnamon.

I'll have to give that a try.

All I do is add a splash of whiskey to apple cider.

The wife is out at a choral rehearsal so I opted for sushi followed by a WTRB b3.

Blanton's neat, water back before a prime sirloin done Pittsburgh rare with spinach and mushrooms at our local Capital Grille.  Spent the late afternoon at granddaughter #1's soccer game nearby and seemed like a fitting end to a cool evening.  😋

What does Pittsburgh rare mean? Black & blue?
