Your garsquashroom reminds me of the Kambouchacorn that we made for my vegetarian brother last year for Christmas Eve. We stuffed a kaboucha squash with an acorn squash with a tasty layer of maple glazed nuts in between. While it came out a little dry, it was quite the sight to behold.

We just got Four Pillars on the East Coast and I am very curious to check it out.

Depends on where you are? I get pretty much anything special on my bar from Astor Wine & Spirits in NYC. If you’re in the Chicago area like our lovely writer, they have it at select Binny’s.

While I’m aware of it’s controversial color, perhaps Blue Curacao would be in order for this.

The Leopold Navy Strength is very very nice, but it will rock your face off.

Never tried the Malahat but your other two suggestions are spot on. The El Dorado 21 is one of those rums which make non-straight rum drinkers go “whoa, I didn’t know rum could taste like this”.

Surprised Letherbee didn’t make your list. I’m a fan of their normal stuff but the two seasonals that they put out each year tend to be very interesting and quite good.

More like Admiral Asshole. Read the article, and wow, learn something! Not all Gin is a juniper bomb.

I’m definitely going to agree that the Knicks haven’t been good in a long time, but in the 90's they were pretty darn competitive. One tends to forget the whole 2 teams winning 8 of 10 titles made it quite hard to win a championship.

Also, it’s quite a large boat and is quite stable.

Hey man, me using a toilet on a ferry with no stall doors wasn’t exactly an easy decision in my life, it was a necessity.

Yep, I’m the only one.

The Staten Island Ferry, which carries roughly 65,000 people a day, is fortunate enough to have bathrooms. The bathrooms range from all stainless steel prison toilets with no seats (on the newest boats!) to the great, NO STALL DOOR bathrooms. I’ll tell you there is nothing worse than having to drop one with the fear…

Yep, you have to replace your purse with a see-through bag but a giant umbrella that blocks the view of an entire section above you? That’s cool.

So if Amari Cooper gets you a #1, Patrick Peterson gets you, let’s see, he’s got five more Pro Bowls, a few all-Pros, a premium position...someone get Ditka on the phone?

No offense to Mrs. Gumbercules, but when a place offers your freshly shaved truffles on anything, you’ve got to be prepared for a STEEP upcharge. It’s not like freshly ground pepper, those little funghi are quite pricey.

This drives me nuts, pink slime is ok but healthier meat from an animal that is a literal nuisance in the country it’s from? No dice.

I’ve got a deli near me that had an excellent beer selection but the problem was, they simply brought in too much product. Everything in there is refrigerated (yay!) but by now everything is way too old. A year or two ago, I went in and grabbed a six pack of Captain Lawrence IPA, took it home, cracked one and knew…

Demerara Five Spice Old Fashioneds are my jam. And when you garnish something with a star anise ringed by an orange peel, you get quite a lot of inquisitive looks.

Can you please tell me where this non-pumpkin paradise is?
