  • 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.

  • 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.

    • 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.

  • Back in My Day...

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

  • 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.

Segment 1 (Deep Dive)

  • 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.
