Gear up for Field Day! Rules changes allow for home-to-home station contacts and also to aggregate your contacts with your own call sign with a club’s contacts for additional scoring. Should be an interesting year for the biggest contest of ’em all.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Easy Baked Churros

Description

I’m a huge fan of anything that involves cinnamon and sugar.  And these are a state fair (they’re coming up soon!) staple for me!  Russ is not a fan, though… so he’ll not offer any input on these, but they are quick and easy

Ingredients

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 (12-ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside. With your hands, roll each biscuit into a 9-inch rope.  Dip in melted butter, and coat with sugar mixture.Twist several times, and place on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Yellow Spot 12YO Irish Whiskey

Description

Rather than being simply a finished whiskey, Yellow Spot is special in that it contains whiskey that has been matured for a full 12 year period in three oak cask types: American bourbon barrels, Spanish sherry butts, and uniquely, Spanish Malaga casks. The Malaga cask brings an exotic sweet note to the whiskey making it a truly delightful taste experience. Only extremely limited quantities of Yellow Spot have been bottled making it a whiskey to seek out and savour as a true rarity.
