Readers know and hear about my homemade Whiskey Sours and yes, they still are my favorite, but it got me thinking on what I can do with the left over lemon rinds. Then it hit me. Lemoncello! Since I’m not having 10 to 12 lemons at a time, I did a test to see how well the rind would freeze. The lemon ends I did the test with froze perfectly. No discoloration, no nothing.

My least favorite part? Getting new cigars. I know that sounds completely contradictory, and it is… The thing is, when I have time to go have a cigar I really really want to have a cigar I know I’m going to enjoy so I still overlook the random cigars I received.

What else can I say? No, I am not in need of bail, but I sure as heck did not go upstairs! House was on an equipment demonstration site, and it was to be demolished. This is what was behind the door: Maybe he can help me on the HOV lane days?
