Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Magic Dough!

Description

This is a 2 ingredient dough (made famous by Weight Watchers YEARS ago) that is super versatile!  Use it for your pizza crust, to make bagels, to make Naan, soft pretzels, cinnamon rolls, pop-tarts, biscuits, etc.  It goes together super quick, and it has endless possibilities.  We recently used it as the base for a BBQ chicken pizza… I got 2 thumbs up from Russ, as he was too busy eating to actually say anything!  Check out the show notes for the link to several recipes using it!

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups self-rising flour

1 cup Greek

Directions

Sift your self-rising flour if it is clumpy! In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour with yogurt and mix well. Using your hands, press into the dough and form a ball shape.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Raspberry Mojito

Description

I’m a fan of Mojitos, and this one sounds perfect for summer days!

Ingredients

8-10 raspberries

1 lime, chopped into large chunks

2 tsp granulated sugar

2 mint sprigs, leaves picked

Ice

4oz white rum

Sparkling water, to serve

Directions (Cocktail)

Divide the raspberries, lime and sugar between two tall glasses and muddle by gently crushing with a muddler or the end of a bar spoon. The fruits should start to release their juices, which will mix with the sugar. Put half the mint leaves in the palm of one of your hands, then clap the other hand on top of the leaves – this bruises them just enough to release their flavour. Drop the bruised mint leaves into one of the glasses, then repeat with the remaining mint, dropping it into the second glass. Add a handful of ice to each glass, followed by the rum. Stir, then top up with sparkling water. Stir briefly until just combined, then serve.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Heaven’s Door Straight Bourbon

Description

Heaven’s Door Straight Bourbon Whiskey is distilled and aged in Tennessee, for a minimum 6 years in new American oak barrels. The sour mash distillation process and non-chill filtered bottling allows this mature whiskey to remain consistent, as well as creating reliable flavor profiles that come from being aged in single story warehouses. The Heaven’s Door Bourbon is distilled and aged from a partner distillery in Tennessee. This Whiskey is a true Bourbon, not a Tennessee Whisky, which means this product did not undergo charcoal mellowing, also known as the Lincoln County Process.

Details

Mashbill: 70% Corn, 22% Rye, 8% Malted Barley

Proof: 92 (46% ABV)

Region: Nashville, Tennessee

Color: Copper

Nose: Orange, caramel, strawberries and cream, honey, oak

Taste: Caramel, buttered bread, cherry, vanilla

Finish: Caramel brulée, vanilla, pepper spice, slightly drying with a lingering heat

Price: $55 (750ml)

Rating: 92 (90 in Old Fashioned)

Bill’s Whatever Corner

Peerless Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Peerless Straight Rye Whiskey is well-balanced, bolstered by sweet tones of maple, brown sugar, and light citrus sweetness. Finish with a hint of oak & no burn on the throat. Due to the carefully unique distilling process, Peerless® offers a smooth taste that stands out from other ryes. A palatable sipping rye to be savored with friends and family.

Details

Proof: 107.2 Proof (53.6% ABV)

Bottle: R150406301

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

One-Pot Ten-Minute Beef and Broccoli

Description

I admit, I’m all about finding a quick and easy meal… because there are some days that I just don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen cooking a meal.  And this is one of those, “Quick and Easy” meals, with an Asian flair.  And we love our Asian foods!  We’ve not tried this one yet, but it’s on our “to do” list.

Ingredients

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

1 bag (12 oz) frozen chopped broccoli

1 bunch chopped green onions, greens and whites separated

3 cups cold cooked white rice

1 cup thick teriyaki marinade and sauce

Directions

In nonstick 5-quart Dutch oven, cook beef with salt to taste over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until brown. Do not drain. Meanwhile, make broccoli as directed on bag. Add whites of green onions to pan with beef, and cook 1 minute. Stir in rice and teriyaki sauce. Cook and stir about 2 minutes or until rice is heated through. Stir in broccoli. Top with green onion tops.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Tequila Sunrise

Description

Russ makes a tasty Tequila Sunrise, so I thought I’d share the recipe for this great summery drink!

Ingredients

2 ounces (4 tablespoons) tequila

4 ounces (1/2 cup) orange juice

3/4 ounce (1-1/2 tablespoons) grenadine syrup

Ice

For the garnish: Cocktail cherry, orange slice

Directions

Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the tequila and orange juice and stir. Pour the grenadine into center of the drink and it will sink to the bottom. Stir gently for sunrise gradient effect. Garnish with an orange slice and cocktail cherry. This drink is sweetly straightforward. Add a squeeze of lime to add more of a tart flavor. A dash of orange liqueur like Cointreau can give it a little more complexity. You can also make a Tequila Sunset by substituting blackberry brandy for the grenadine. Make the drink with vodka for a Vodka Sunset, or try a Malibu Sunset using Malibu Coconut Rum.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Description

Batch 0005. Four Super Bowl victories was no ordinary feat, but then Terry Bradshaw was no ordinary player. So it makes sense that Terry Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is anything but ordinary. Blended from the finest grains and aged in hand selected barrels, the 212 blend is worthy of a nod from a true champion. Bradshaw Bourbon is a collaboration between Bradshaw and Silver Screen Bottling Company, which is known for bottling several celebrity liquors. The bourbon is bottled at an ABV of 51.9% which is a nod to his career passing completion percentage. Batch 212 is a reference to his career TD passing total. Aged two years.

Details

Mashbill: 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley

Proof: 103.8 (51.9% ABV)

Region: Owensboro, Kentucky

Color: Light golden honey

Nose: Vanilla, toffee, banana, baked bread, ethanol

Taste: Cinnamon, baking spices, vanilla, cherry cough syrup, coconut

Finish: Toasted oak, vanilla, rye spice, butterscotch

Price: $45 (750ml)

Rating: 83 (87 in Old Fashioned)

Bill’s Whatever Corner

CaliFino Reposado Tequila

Description

CaliFino Reposado Tequila is made with 100% Ultra-Premium Blue Weber Agave, aged for 1 year in American White Oak Barrels. This creamy, honey Reposado is perfect to mix in your favorite cocktail, sipped neatly, or on the rocks. Having it with Tres Agaves Margarita Mix Organic.

Jammy Jellyfish - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Topics

What’s new (from the Ubuntu Blog https://lhs.fyi/zo )?

Linux desktop performance has had a massive upgrade for this release. Thanks to work on GNOME triple buffering, Intel and Raspberry Pi graphics drivers will now see up to double the frame rate when navigating the desktop. We also see significant improvements when using AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards as well as runtime power management for NVIDIA GPUs. Wayland is now the default display server for most systems, whilst X11 remains the default for those with NVIDIA GPUs.

GNOME 42 also brings new power profile options, allowing users to choose between performance and power consumption from the settings screen.

As always, Ubuntu comes with a host of other tweaks and updates in addition to these headline features.

PulseAudio delivers a number of improvements for Bluetooth headsets, with support for a wider range of devices and battery level reporting.

LibreOffice, Thunderbird and Firefox have all been updated to the latest versions. And Firefox now ships as a snap, published by Mozilla.

Developers also have access to the latest toolchains for Python, Ruby, Perl, Go, PHP and now Rust. Rust is a new addition for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, supporting memory-safe, systems-level programming.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Rossville Union Rye Barrel Proof

Description

It began in 1847 with a bold, satisfying taste that would make Indiana the rye capital of the world. For nearly 200 years, Lawrenceburg’s master distillers and blenders have been perfecting the original handcrafted rye blends in one of America’s last Prohibition-era distilleries. Rossville Union is a return to the golden age of rye with an authentic taste that could only come from Whiskey City.

Details

Mashbill: Blen of 51% Rye, 45% Corn, 4% Malted barley and 95% Rye, 5% Malted barley whiskies

Proof: 112.6 (56.3% ABV)

Region: Lawrenceburg, Indiana

Color: Copper

Nose: Rye spice, salted lemon, cherry, plantain, almond, chocolate covered strawberry

Taste: Rye grain, anise, salted lemon, strawberry jam, light tropical fruit

Finish: Rye spice, faint citrus, vanilla, leather, touch of anise and caramel

Price: $70 (750ml)

Rating: 95 (97 in an Old Fashioned)

Bill’s Whatever Corner

Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

Description

Upon its release, this whiskey won double gold at The World Spirits Competition in San Francisco. It really is an Irish whiskey that will make you think twice about Irish whiskey. A lovely, light and drinkable whiskey, it’s also complex with a depth of flavour beyond its years. Aged twice in barrels from far sides of the world, the flavours are a game of two halves. American oak Bourbon barrels bring sweet honey and smooth vanilla notes, laying down the foundations of the flavours. The Spanish oak Oloroso barrels layer on dried fruit, and nutty flavours. To find the best Oloroso casks, we go off the beaten track to the small Andalusian town of Montilla, home of the famous PX grape. Here we can talk one on one with producers, chose the bodega, the liquid, the time seasoning, and eventually the casks. This gives us more influence on the flavours in our Double Barrel whiskey.

Details

Mashbill: Single Grain - Barley

Proof: 84 (42% ABV)

Region: Wicklow, Ireland

Color: Amber

Distiller’s Nose: Rich with dark fruit, cherry, raisin, fig and Christmas pudding. Floral notes with lemongrass, citrus and a touch of nutmeg

Distiller’s Taste: Sweet and smooth, with butterscotch, honey and peppercorn, dried fruit, maraschino cherries and brown sugar.

Distiller’s Finish: Ginger spices a touch of almond and earthiness.

Price: 38 Euro (700ml)

Rating: Very Good (5 of 5)
