  • Just wanted to say, I discovered your podcast this year and I am hooked. Love it! My thoughts on fish, color should never be "off" salmon should have olive green back & top of head, flesh should be salmon orange - tan or brownish is run the other way fast! And if it smells like the carp kill in the spring run off---run! I am pretty sure I have a card from NE4RD also. Thanks Kindly, Tim Jorgenson, KD0UUU.

• E-mail from David on Episode #518 (Weekender CXVIII)
  • When I studied "Argumentation and Debate" rule one was "If you can't back it up, don't say it". The consensus of your topic "Worst thing about ham radio" was "Old, White Guys". Here's a challenge for you: Pick the computer language of your choice and set up the print string: "We should promote the inclusion of all groups in Amateur Radio EXCEPT <age>, <race>, <sex>. The one thing I hate is to go to a ham event and see too many of those people there."Now make lists for age, race, and sex, pulling variables from any Government form. Cycle through the string to create all possible strings from that string and those variables. Now, read ALL of those strings on your show. Well, all of those strings, except the "Old, White, Guys" one, as you have already done that. Would you feel comfortable slighting any one of those other strings publicly? No? But, as a group "Old, White, Guys" is fair game? Ok, so back that up. Yes, most Hams fall into that group, So, if any other group, age, race, or sex, that ever becomes more successful than it's census percentage would suggest should then become fair game for exclusion and derision as well? At least the next time I am asked to accept the commitment of being a board member of a club or volunteer for any job involving amateur radio I should just reply "No, let the <age><race><sex> do it."

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl's Recipe Corner!

• Baja Grilled Chicken Tacos

• Description
  • Summer is a great time to fire up the grill and make a tasty dinner... and what's any better than chicken tacos fresh off the grill?

• Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sazón seasoning*
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • Canola oil cooking spray
  • 1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas, or as needed

• Directions
  • Combine cumin, oregano, sazón, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add lime juice and olive oil and stir to make marinade. Add chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 12 hours. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill marinated chicken until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and shred chicken with forks. Spray canola oil onto tortillas and heat on the grill approximately 45 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with a paper towel to keep warm. Serve with shredded chicken. Tips: As an alternative to grilling, heat 1 tablespoon of canola or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add seasoned chicken and sauté until cooked through. Heat tortillas per package directions and serve with chicken and garnishes of your choice. This dish pairs well with a black bean and corn salad. If you don't have Sazon on hand, combine equal parts of ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, and onion powder. This blend will provide a similar flavor profile to Sazon seasoning.

• Cheryl's Mixed Drink Corner

• Grilled Grapefruit Paloma Cocktail

• Description
  • Since you've already got the grill going to make the Baja chicken tacos, here's a fired up twist on a traditional Mexican cocktail. You'll grill the grapefruit and lime to caramelize the fruit and give the juice a subtle smoky edge. Stir it up with tequila or mescal and top with club soda for a refreshing drink that's perfect all summer long.

• Ingredients
  • 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 red grapefruit, halved widthwise
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1 cup ice cubes, or as needed
  • 4 fluid ounces tequila
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup, or to taste
  • 4 fluid ounces club soda

• Directions
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut limes in half widthwise. Cut 1 half into 3 wheels. Pour sugar into a shallow bowl. Dip lime halves, 2 of the lime wheels, and grapefruit into sugar to coat thoroughly. Place limes and grapefruit cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook, turning lime wheels occasionally, until browned and grill marks form, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet to cool. Rub remaining lime wheel over the rim of 2 highball glasses. Dip rims in kosher salt. Fill glasses with ice. Juice grilled lime halves and grapefruit into a small pitcher. Pour in any juices that accumulated on the baking sheet. Stir in tequila and simple syrup. Divide mixture between glasses and top off with club soda. Garnish with grilled lime wheels. Cook's Note: The limes will cook more quickly than the grapefruit.

• Russ's Drink Corner

• Old Pepper Straight Rye Whiskey

• Description
  • The 'Old Pepper' label was proudly produced by Colonel James E. Pepper during his lifetime and marketed as 'The Oldest and Best Brand of Whiskey made in Kentucky.' Through Col. Pepper's advocacy on behalf of the bourbon industry, it was the first label in Kentucky to be bottled at the distillery, and his invention of the 'signature strip stamp' was later incorporated into the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, assuring consumers of the quality of the whiskey in the bottle. Our label today incorporates historic fonts and designs from the 1880s through the turn of the century, including the signature strip label—once again giving consumers valuable information about where and when the whiskey was made and bottled. This version is a barrel proof single barrel special release.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl's Recipe Corner!

• Skillet Chicken Bulgogi

• Description
  • This bulgogi chicken is a quick-and-easy, but very tasty, meal. You can substitute the chicken with beef or pork for variety. It only takes 30 minutes with very few dirty dishes! Serve over rice.

• Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

• Directions
  • Whisk onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Cook and stir chicken and marinade together in a large skillet over medium-high heat until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Notes: You can substitute peanut oil for the sesame oil if desired. Add vegetables if you wish; carrot straws and sliced mushrooms are delicious add-ins. For a little more bite, use a peppercorn medley grinder instead of black pepper.

• Cheryl's Mixed Drink Corner

• Key Lime Mojitos

• Description
  • If you have an abundance of Key limes after making a classic Key lime pie, use some up to make this refreshing summer cocktail. The tart juice of Key limes makes the mojito a bit sharper and more citrusy, and the cream makes it taste like a creamy slice of Key lime pie. You’ll need a simple syrup for this cocktail, which is super-easy to make if you don’t want to buy one. You can even add some mint leaves in with it to make the mint flavor stronger.

• Ingredients
  • 1/4 c. crushed graham crackers
  • 3 tbsp. simple syrup, plus more for glass
  • 1/4 c. fresh mint leaves, plus more for serving
  • 3 tbsp. fresh Key lime juice
  • 4 oz. white rum
  • 1 tbsp. heavy cream
  • Key lime rounds, for serving

• Directions
  • Place crackers on a plate. Pour simple syrup onto another plate. Dip rims of glasses into simple syrup, then into crackers.  In a cocktail shaker, muddle mint and lime juice. Fill shaker with ice and add rum, cream, and simple syrup. Vigorously shake until outside of shaker is very frosty, about 20 seconds. Fill glasses with ice and strain mojito into prepared glasses. Garnish with more mint and a Key lime round.

• Russ's Drink Corner

• Laphroaig Cairdeas Single Malt Scotch

• Description
  • Bottled at a fixed strength of 52.3%, Laphroaig® Càirdeas 2023 is aged in White Port and Madeira casks. Created exclusively for Friends of Laphroaig. Our Càirdeas expression for 2023 brings together the best of much loved Càirdeas releases over recent years. The limited-edition single malt is a combination of Madeira and White Port casks. Three quarters of the whisky is matured in second-fill Madeira casks, releasing smoky, spicy, and sweet fruit flavours. The final quarter has been finished in first-fill Port casks; the majority of these are white port, adding a hint of crisp fruit and deep woodiness to the flavour. It’s a new take on Laphroaig that plays to our strengths – welcoming friends old and new.

  • Region: Islay, Scotland

  • Rating: 98

• Hoptimization - Brothers Craft Brewing - Harrisonburg, VA
  • What’s a craft brewery to do when all the “typical” IPA hops are gone? Innovate of course, just like craft breweries always have. Hoptimization uses big, bold, bitter hops to get a clean citrusy flavor you’ll love and the bitter bite that you crave. Step away from typical and try something new.
