Hamvention Wrap-Up:

• Attendance, on FB and Dayton area newspapers, they listed the attendance of 25-30k people for 2026. Official number for 2025 was 36,814. So, our guess on lower numbers was likely correct (it will be a few weeks before Hamvention releases the official numbers)
• Only a handful of people asked what Linux was (this number seems down… way down, actually)
• Many folks said they are/have moved to Linux after the Windows debacle
• Probably a normal amount of, “What can Linux do for me?” Type questions

This Weekend in Hedonism

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner
  • Creamy One-Pan Lemon Garlic Chicken and Asparagus
  • Description:
    • This creamy one-pan lemon garlic chicken and asparagus comes together quickly enough for a weeknight, but it is special enough for guests. The creamy sauce makes it perfect to serve with fettuccine or rice; a tossed salad and some great bread are nice additions.
  • Ingredients
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
    • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/2 cup minced shallots
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 lemon, juiced
    • 1/4 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese
    • fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs for garnish (optional)
  • Directions
    • In a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, combine flour, Italian seasoning, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Move ingredients around in the bag to mix well, and set aside.
    • Place chicken pieces between 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Pound the breasts to a uniform thickness of about 1/2-inch, and blot dry with paper towels.
    • Add chicken pieces to flour mixture, seal the bag, and shake until all chicken is lightly coated.
    • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat,. When butter stops sizzling and the pan is hot, carefully add chicken pieces. Lightly brown each side, cooking 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
    • To the same skillet, with the drippings, add remaining tablespoon butter, shallots, and asparagus pieces. Cook, stirring often, about 3 minutes, or until asparagus is tender and bright green. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
    • Stir in cream, lemon juice, and pecorino Romano cheese; stir until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Nestle chicken back pieces into the pan and cook until sauce is thickened and chicken is heated through, about 3 minutes.
    • Garnish with fresh flat leaf parsley, and serve warm.
  • Notes:
    • Pecorino Romano is salty, and the pan drippings in this recipe are also seasoned. Taste before adding additional salt and pepper.
• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner
  • Blackberry Mint Julep
  • Description:
    • Since Yesterday was the Kentucky Derby, and the Mint Julep is the “official drink” of the Derby, I decided to go with a fun version of it!
  • Ingredients
    • 4 fresh mint leaves, plus more for serving
    • 1 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
    • 6 fresh blackberries, divided
    • Ice
    • 2 oz. bourbon
  • Directions
    • In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, muddle mint, sugar, 5 blackberries, and 1 ounce water until blackberries have lost their shape and a thick puree forms.
    • Strain into a (preferably frosty) ice-filled coupe glass. Add bourbon and stir until well chilled.
    • Garnish with remaining 1 blackberry and more mint leaves.
• Russ’s Drink Corner (now hijacked by Cheryl - and probably occasionally by Bill!)
  • Nothing this week… check back after Hamvention where Bill and I will BOTH review a Bourbon I bought to take to Hamvention!!
• Bill’s Whatever Corner
  • Item: Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel
    • Kentucky may be known for its bourbon, but no town does rye whiskey and high-rye bourbon better than Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Since the mid-1800s, “Whiskey City” has been synonymous with the world’s finest rye whiskey.
    • Nestled in between the Ohio River and Tanner’s Creek sits a monument to Lawrenceburg’s rich distilling history, Ross & Squibb Distillery. Our globally renowned tradition of crafting the finest ryes and high-rye bourbons continues today under the discerning eye of our Master Distiller, Ian Stirsman.
  • Mash - 60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Barley (2024 Barrel Pull)
  • Aroma - Sweet, with notes of maple and vanilla
  • Taste - Hint of vanilla and a sweet-yet-characteristic rye flavor
  • Finish - Smooth, long finish, giving way to the subtle vanilla sweetness
  • ABV: 54.25 (108.5 Proof)

    • May 15-17, 2026 - Booth 2206, Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio. That is building E2/Tesla Hall, and we’re directly across from Flex Radio and Begali Keys in the big walkway between the 2 garage doors (so it’s nice and cool!). We’ll be there from 9-5 on Friday and Saturday… and since we both have long drives ahead of us, we’ll be there at 9am and leave early (probably by 11) on Sunday… so make sure, if you’re waiting to visit us until Sunday, you get there EARLY!
  • Join us for dinner at Hamvention!
    • Friday:
      • Join Bill and I for dinner at BJ’s Brewhouse (2715 Fairfield Commons Boulevard, Beavercreek, OH 45431; it’s about 10 miles from Hamvention) on FRIDAY, May 15th, at 6pm. Their menu is extremely diverse… pizza, pasta, burgers, steaks, etc. Several Gluten-Free (although, because of their menu, there is a chance of cross-contamination; management told me to alert the server and they would do their best to avoid contamination) and Vegetarian options are available, too
    • Saturday:
      • Join Bill and I for dinner at Chuy’s Tex-Mex (2717 Fairfield Commons, Beavercreek, OH 45431) on Saturday, May 16th, at 6pm. Bill and I are very keen on Mexican food, so this is somewhat of a no-brainer. And there are Gluten-Free (again, possible risk of cross-contamination) and Vegetarian options available!

Deep Dive Topic - Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon

• Canonical released Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon” on April 23, 2026, marking a significant modernization of the distribution with GNOME 50 and the Linux kernel 7.0. This LTS version offers five years of standard support until April 2031, extending to ten years with Ubuntu Pro.
  • Key updates include:
    • Wayland-Only Desktop: The GNOME session now runs exclusively on Wayland, dropping Xorg support, though X11 applications remain functional via XWayland.
    • Enhanced Security: The release introduces TPM-backed full-disk encryption, post-quantum cryptography support in OpenSSL, and the Security Center app for desktop management.
    • New Default Applications: Canonical replaced legacy tools with modern GTK4/libadwaita apps, including Ptyxis (terminal), Papers (PDF), Loupe (images), Showtime (video), and Resources (system monitor).
    • Developer & Server Improvements: The toolchain features GCC 15.2 and Python 3.14, while server editions support Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP confidential computing.
    • Hardware Requirements: The recommended minimum RAM has increased to 6 GB to accommodate the modern desktop environment.

• Intro to picking a 1st timers Distro

This Weekend in Hedonism

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner
  • Spring Chicken Salad
  • Description:
    • This is an item served in one of our local coffee shops (I know the owner, so she gave me the recipe… which I have since tweaked to my preferences). It’s great as a brunch item or a light meal on hot summer days. And can be whipped up super quick if you’ve got some rotisserie chicken on hand - and you can get the carrots and green onions already prepped at most grocery stores (I do 99.9% of my grocery shopping at Walmart)!
  • Ingredients
    • 1 cooked chicken breast (boneless/skinless or that has been deboned) OR rotisserie chicken that has been deboned, chopped and shredded into bite sized pieces
    • 1/2 cup Mayo (+/- to taste)
    • 1/2 cup Raspberry Vinaigrette (+/- to taste)
    • 1/2 cup THINLY sliced Celery
    • 1/2 cup Julienned Carrots, cut into small pieces
    • 1/2 cup chopped Walnuts OR Pecans
    • 1/2 cup finely sliced green onion (optional)
    • 1/2 cup halved seedless red Grapes
    • Loaf of Baguette Bread (optional)
  • Directions
    • Mix chicken, mayo, vinaigrette, celery, carrots, nuts and green onion together. Cut the grapes in half and store in a separate container and mix in with a portion of chicken salad immediately before eating (if you don’t keep them separate, the grapes will make the chicken salad very liquidy).
    • If using baguette bread, cut a 6" piece off of the loaf (works best with end pieces; if you can find the “mini baguette loaves” that are 8-10" long, just cut them in half) and carefully hollow the bread out (leaving enough of a bread barrier between the chicken salad and the crust that the bread doesn’t fall apart). Lightly toast, if desired (I definitely prefer them warm and lightly crunchy). Stuff the bread with the chicken salad and enjoy with extra grapes, chips, etc.
  • Notes:
    • At the coffee shop where this recipe originated, the Baguette bread is hollowed out and stuffed with the chicken salad, making it a unique “sandwich” presentation (they call it the “Spring Chicken Stuffer”). If you don’t want to mess with that, it’s also great served on sandwich bread, a hamburger roll or even all by itself.
    • I personally prefer Ott’s brand Raspberry Vinaigrette, which is manufactured 20 minutes from our house - Kraft is my second choice.
    • This mixture will be store fine in the fridge for about 1 week (BUT, the longer it is stored, the more it will dry out as everything will absorb the mayo and dressing - just stir a little more mayo and dressing in). I personally put a few spoons of chicken salad in a separate bowl, a spoon of mayo and a squirt of raspberry vinaigrette and a spoon full of grape halves and stir well, that way the grapes are well incorporated.
    • While this is yummy immediately after making it, after it has a few days to meld with the other flavors, it is amazing.
    • When making this a meal, it pairs well with a piece of quiche
    • Feel free to tweak this however you see fit! Add some spices (salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dill weed, parsley)! As I typed this, I thought that Bacon Bits would probably be really good with it. Let me know how you made it your own creation!
• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner
  • Peach Bellini
  • Description:
    • I’m an equal opportunity girl, when it comes to alcohol, for the most part (although, I’m still trying to learn to love Gin). And you’ll find me enjoying a “girly drink” like the one I’m sharing today, and a finger of Scotch tomorrow. This is a great brunch beverage, too.
  • Ingredients
    • 1 lb. fresh or frozen sliced peaches, plus more for serving
    • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, plus more for serving
    • 1/2 cup peach schnapps
    • 1 bottle prosecco or sparkling white wine
  • Directions
    • Add the peaches, strawberries, and peach schnapps to the pitcher of a blender. Cover tightly with the lid, and blend at high speed until smooth.
    • Divide the peach mixture among 6 glasses. Garnish each glass with more peaches or strawberries, if you like. Fill each glass half full with prosecco; stir, and add more prosecco, if you like.
• Russ’s Drink Corner (now hijacked by Cheryl - and probably occasionally by Bill!)
  • Elijah Craig Small Batch
  • This bottle is from the C918 batch, meaning it was their 3rd release for the year, bottled in September of 2018
  • Description
    • Elijah Craig was a baptist preacher who created the process for “true Kentucky bourbon.” - and he’s credited with the process of putting his distillate into charred oak barrels. Citing a surge in popularity and supply not meeting demand, in early 2016 Heaven Hill Distillery removed Elijah Craig’s age statement and began blending younger stock into its non-age stated (NAS) small batches
  • Details
    • Mashbill: 78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley
    • Region: Bardstown, KY
    • Proof: 131.4 (65.7% ABV)
    • Color: Copper
    • Nose: Brown Sugar, with well toasted pie crust and cloves.
    • Taste: Vanilla and Oak, followed by the sweetness of corn syrup from a pecan pie - and a tiny hint of cherry and a touch of honeysuckle.
    • Finish: Extremely heavy baking spices; the rye makes it spicy. But the lingering end was heavy clove and extreme sweetness - a mix between caramel and that pecan pie corn syrup taste
    • Price: $200+ (750ml) - VERY limited in availability.
    • Rating: 89
• Bill’s Whatever Corner
  • Item: Numb Numb Juice Hazy IPA from Fall River Brewing in California
  • Numb Numb Juice Hazy IPA is a tropical juice bomb that shifts to an almost candy like finish on both the nose and palate. While being served in a coconut with a little umbrella seems fitting, the can it’s in will have to do. It’s so nom nom, that it might leave you numb numb. So drink responsibly. Cheers!
  • ABV: 7.5% IBU 33

• FCC Warns Pittsburgh Amateur Radio Operator for 911 Interference
  • The Federal Communications Commission has sent a notice of licensed operation and harmful interference to an amateur radio operator in Pittsburgh regarding transmissions on a 911 emergency services channel from a handheld transceiver. Last summer, the FCC received a complaint from Allegheny County, Pa., Emergency Services concerning interference with one of its UHF “T-Band” emergency communications channels. The interference affected the county’s west EMS dispatch channel on 470.4375 MHz. After the agents notified Kundston of the issue, he produced a Baofeng BTech UV-Pro handheld radio.

• YOLO Linux
  • YOLO Linux is a modern Linux distribution designed from first principles to prioritize user outcomes over system management, featuring a conversational AI agent that replaces the traditional command line. Instead of requiring users to memorize commands or configure complex settings, YOLO Linux allows them to describe their intent in plain language (e.g., “Install the browser” or “Connect to the VPN”), and the AI agent automatically handles the installation, configuration, and security. Built on a standard Linux 6.12 kernel, it maintains a zero-shell security posture by eliminating direct user access to the terminal, thereby reducing the attack surface while ensuring all operations are logged, auditable, and explainable. This approach aims to make Linux accessible to everyone by removing the learning curve associated with traditional operating system administration.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Honey Balsamic Glazed Ham

• Description:

  • Russ was never a fan of baked ham, until he moved here and tried my mom’s (which I’ve shared that recipe before in the past; it was an orange juice and brown sugar mixture). While we hadn’t gotten the chance to try this recipe yet, he was excited to try it (because what is better with ham that a lot of tasty mustard?). This is in my menu rotation for Easter.

• Ingredients

  • 1/2 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 7 lb. total; preferably shank end)
  • 2 tsp. black peppercorns
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

• Directions

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Place ham, cut side down, on rack set in roasting pan; add 1/4 cup water to pan. Score ham on all sides in diamond pattern, cutting only 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Cover ham and pan tightly with foil and bake 11/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, using heavy pan, crush peppercorns; place in bowl. Add honey, mustards, and vinegar and whisk to combine. Transfer 1/2 cup glaze to small bowl and reserve for serving.
  • Brush one-third of glaze (about 1/3 cup) over ham and bake, uncovered, 15 minutes; rotate ham in oven and repeat with another 1/3 cup glaze and bake another 15 minutes. Brush remaining 1/3 cup glaze over ham and bake until ham is heated through and internal temperature registers 140°F, 15 to 20 minutes more. Slice and serve with remaining glaze.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• White Sangria

• Description:

  • I have always been a huge fan of fruity drinks, and I am a huge fan of white wine… so what could be better for your Easter related meal?

• Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Applejack
  • 1/2 medium green apple, cored and diced
  • 1 medium orange, halved
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced
  • 1 mango or nectarine, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries
  • 2 (750-mL) bottles dry white wine, chilled
  • 1 (750-mL) bottle prosecco, chilled, to serve
  • Fresh mint or basil sprigs, to garnish

• Directions

• In a microwave-safe glass measuring cup, combine the sugar with ⅓ cup water. Microwave until the sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir well, then let cool completely.

• In a large pitcher, combine the Applejack and apple. Let sit for 10 minutes until the flavors incorporate.

• Squeeze half of the orange into the pitcher. Cut the remaining half of the orange into thin slices. Add the orange slices, lime, mango or nectarine, and strawberries; stir to combine. Pour the white wine over the fruit and stir to combine. Add 2 tablespoons of the simple syrup and taste for sweetness. Add more simple syrup, 1 tablespoon at a time, if desired.

• Serve the sangria over ice, topped with a splash of chilled prosecco, if you like. Garnish with fresh mint or basil sprigs.

Russ’s Drink Corner

• (I will occasionally pick something from Russ’s collection to mention… but I didn’t have time tonight)

Bill’s Whatever Corner

• Charlie Russel Irish Style Red Ale - Harvest Moon Brewing - Belt, Montana
  • 5.5% ABV 20 IBU
  • Because the water in Belt is almost identical to the classic Burton water in England, we have brewed a beer very similar to an ale from that region. Two row pale ale malt combined with hops of a soft, flowery character but not overly aromatic or bitter, combine for an ale to be enjoyed year round. This ale is red in color and has malt character like an amber ale but with the hoppiness of a pale ale.

• The Fastest Digital Mode Ever Created?

  • FT2 is a revolutionary digital mode for amateur radio, developed by IU8LMC with the support of ARI Caserta. It uses the same codec as FT8 and FT4 (77-bit payload, LDPC 174/91, GFSK modulation) but compresses the transmission cycle to just 3.8 seconds. Software required for this is currently: Decodium v3.0 FT2 “Raptor”. It is an optimized weak-signal FT2 client with enhanced sensitivity, extended frequency range, and real-time NTP/DT feedback. Based on WSJT-X 3.0.0 RC1 — focused exclusively on FT2 mode. License: GPL v3 (Windows, macOS, Linux)

• Indiana prohibits HOAs from restricting amateur radio antennas

  • HB 1152 was just signed into law and prohibits HOAs from adopting or enforcing any rule that restricts amateur radio equipment including antennas, towers, and feedlines.
  • According to Hunter Reed KD9YLQ, the ham who wrote the amendment for State Senator Alexander, “the bill would require that once an HOA updates its governing documents, then they have to comply with the law.” There’s nothing in the law that would require an HOA to change or not enforce their existing rules unless the rules were adopted or amended after June 30, 2026.
  • Relevant section of the bill to follow:
    • SECTION 6. IC32-25.5-3.4 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW CHAPTER TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2026]:
      • Chapter 3.4. Homeowners Association Regulation of Amateur Radio Antennas
        • Sec. 1. As used in this chapter, “amateur radio antenna” means an antenna, support structure, tower, feed line, or related equipment used by an amateur station as defined by 47 CFR 97.3.
        • Sec. 2. As used in this chapter, “governing documents” has the meaning set forth in IC 32-25.5-2-3.
        • Sec. 3. This chapter applies only to a homeowners association’s adoption or amendment of governing documents after June 30, 2026.
        • Sec. 4. A homeowners association may not adopt or enforce a regulation, rule, or other policy that has the effect of prohibiting a person from maintaining an amateur radio antenna on a property that the person owns, rents, or leases.

• Carl Richell, CEO System 76, Responds To Age Verification

  • System76 CEO Carl Richell has issued a strong critique of new U.S. state laws requiring operating systems to implement age verification, particularly California’s Assembly Bill 1043 and Colorado’s Senate Bill 26-051. While acknowledging the legal obligation to comply, Richell argues these laws are ineffective and threaten user privacy and digital freedom. He highlights New York’s proposed bill as being more dangerous.
    • “New York’s proposed Senate Bill S8102A requires adults to prove they’re adults to use a computer, exercise bike, smart watch, or car if the device is internet enabled with app ecosystems. The bill explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General. Practical methods for a bill of such extreme breadth would require, in many instances, providing private information to a third-party just to use a computer at all.”
    • “The challenges we face are neither technical nor legal. The only solution is to educate our children about life with digital abundance. Throwing them into the deep end when they’re 16 or 18 is too late. It’s a wonderful and weird world. Yes, there are dark corners. There always will be. We have to teach our children what to do when they encounter them and we have to trust them.”
  • Despite concerns, System76 plans to implement a minimal, privacy-preserving age prompt to comply with the law, while continuing to advocate for its repeal or constitutional challenge.

• Podman 5.8.0 Released

  • Podman (the POD MANager) is a tool for managing containers and images, volumes mounted into those containers, and pods made from groups of containers. Podman runs containers on Linux, but can also be used on Mac and Windows systems using a Podman-managed virtual machine. Podman is based on libpod, a library for container lifecycle management that is also contained in this repository. The libpod library provides APIs for managing containers, pods, container images, and volumes. Podman releases a new major or minor release 4 times a year, during the second week of February, May, August, and November. Patch releases are more frequent and may occur at any time to get bugfixes out to users.
  • Features
    • The podman quadlet install command can now install files which contain multiple separate Quadlet files. The files must be separated with a — delimeter on a new line, and each section must begin with a # FileName= line to name the new Quadlet (#27384).
    • The podman update command now features a new option, –ulimit, to update container ulimits (#26381).
    • The podman exec command now features a new option, –no-session, which disables tracking of the exec session to improve performance and startup time (#26588).
  • Changes
    • Podman will now automatically attempt to migrate legacy BoltDB databases to SQLite when the system reboots. This is necessary as support for BoltDB will be removed in Podman 6.0 in May. If automatic migration is not possible, a new option, podman system migrate –migrate-db, will manually force a migration.
    • The podman secret create - command no longer requires that the secret be provided through a pipe, and instead allows typing the secret through the terminal (#27879).
  • Bugfixes
    • Fixed a bug where healthchecks would sometimes fail to execute due to systemd rate limits.
  • API
    • Added new APIs for interacting with Quadlets, including GET /libpod/quadlets/{name}/file (print contents of a Quadlet file), GET /libpod/quadlets/{name}/exists (check if the given Quadlet exists), POST /libpod/quadlets (install one or more Quadlets), DELETE /libpod/quadlets (remove one or more Quadlets), and DELETE /libpod/quadlets/{name} (remove a single Quadlet)..
  • Misc
    • Updated Buildah to v1.43.0
    • Updated the containers/storage library v1.62.0
    • Updated the containers/image library to v5.39.1
    • Updated the containers/common library to v0.67.0

• Gentoo on Codeberg

  • Gentoo now has a presence on Codeberg, and contributions can be submitted for the Gentoo repository mirror at https://codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo as an alternative to GitHub. Eventually also other git repositories will become available under the Codeberg Gentoo organization. This is part of the gradual mirror migration away from GitHub, as already mentioned in the 2025 end-of-year review. Codeberg is a site based on Forgejo, maintained by a dedicated non-profit organization, and located in Berlin, Germany. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this move possible! These mirrors are for convenience for contribution and we continue to host our own repositories, just like we did while using GitHub mirrors for ease of contribution too.

Segment 1 (Deep Dive)

• Code-OSS / Visual Studio Code / VSCodium

• Code-OSS is the open-source foundation upon which Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code is built. It is a distribution of the Code - OSS repository, which is developed by Microsoft in collaboration with the community under the MIT license. Code-OSS provides comprehensive code editing, navigation, debugging, extensibility, and integration with existing tools, forming the core of the edit-build-debug cycle for developers.

• Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code is a proprietary distribution of the same source code with additional Microsoft-specific customizations. These customizations include Microsoft trademarks, branding (such as the product name “Microsoft Visual Studio Code”), integration with the Visual Studio Marketplace, remote development features, telemetry collection, and access to proprietary extensions like the C#/.NET debugger. The proprietary components are enforced through mechanisms such as a handshake protocol to ensure compliance with licensing restrictions.

• VSCodium is a community-driven project that actively disables telemetry by default and rewrites telemetry-related code to prevent any data from being sent to Microsoft servers, ensuring a more privacy-focused experience. VSCodium also uses the Open VSX Registry as its default extension marketplace, which is open-source and vendor-neutral, allowing extensions to be published and used without requiring a Microsoft account or agreeing to Microsoft’s terms of service.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Bourbon Brown Sugar Cheesecake with Pecan Crust and Butterscotch Bourbon Sauce

• Description

• Because of my having Celiac Disease, our food life has changed drastically… and I really needed a great dessert recipe for Thanksgiving.  We both love cheesecake, and I went on the hunt for a recipe of a cheesecake we had in the past.  And this recipe won, hands down. Obviously we went with a pecan crust to avoid all Gluten… but I think it made the perfect crust for the cheesecake!

• Ingredients (Crust)

• 3 tablespoons salted butter

• 2-1/4 cups pecan meal or coarsely ground pecans

• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar or granulated sugar

• Ingredients (Filling)

• 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened

• 4 large eggs

• 3 tbsp Bourbon

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar

• Ingredients (Topping)

• 16 oz container of sour cream

• 2 tbsp packed dark brown sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 tsp Bourbon

• Ingredients (Sauce)

• 1-1/2 cups sugar

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/2 cup Bourbon

• 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter

• Directions (Crust)

• Preheat oven to 350F. Microwave the butter in a large microwave safe bowl on HIGH for 35 seconds or until it melts. Stir in the pecans and sugar, stirring until coated with the butter. Press the pecan mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Baking the crust helps make the crust firm and not crumble when sliced. Let cool completely. Make your own coarsely ground pecans: Place 2-3/4 cups pecan pieces or halves in a food processor and pulse until pecans are coarsely ground. Be careful not to make pecan butter! To Freeze: Cover the pecan crust in the pie plate with aluminum foil or inside a large resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 3 months. Great for planning ahead for the holidays. Butter can also be melted in a small saucepan on the stovetop on medium-low.

• Directions (Filling)

• In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese until fluffy and add eggs, 1 at a time, beating at low speed until just combined. Beat in bourbon, vanilla, and brown sugar until just combined. Pour filling into crust and put springform pan in a baking pan. Bake cake in middle of oven for 35 minutes. Leaving oven on, transfer cake in springform pan to a rack and let stand 5 minutes. (Center of cake will set as it cools.)

• Directions (Topping)

• In a bowl stir together sour cream, brown sugar, and vanilla. Drop spoonfuls of topping around edge of cake and spread gently over center, smoothing evenly. Bake cake in baking pan in middle of oven 10 minutes and cool completely in springform pan on rack. Chill cake, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 4 days. Run a thin knife around inside edge of pan and remove side of pan. Transfer cake to a serving plate and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

• Directions (Sauce)

• In a dry 3-quart heavy kettle cook sugar over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, swirling kettle, until deep golden. Remove kettle from heat and carefully add water and bourbon down side of kettle (mixture will bubble and steam). Simmer mixture, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Stir in butter until incorporated and cool sauce to warm. Note: Butterscotch bourbon sauce may be made 1 week ahead and chilled covered. Reheat sauce to warm before serving. Drizzle on cheesecake and place a pecan half on each piece as garnish.

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Maple Bourbon Smash

• Description

• A drink with tastes tied to autumn in the US.

• Ingredients

• Directions

• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the bourbon, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture until thoroughly chilled and well combined. Strain the drink into a double old-fashioned glass with a large ice cube. Garnish with a lemon twist for a touch of citrusy aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy the smooth, sweet, and citrusy flavors of this Maple-Bourbon Smash.

Segment 1 (Deep Dive)

• RFC 2136 Certificate Management

• Topics

• RFC 2136 defines the Domain Name System (DNS) Dynamic Update protocol, which allows authorized clients to remotely update DNS records on a managed server. This protocol is a standardized method for Dynamic DNS (DDNS), enabling things like automatic updates when a client’s IP address changes. Many applications, such as BIND and Windows Server DNS, support RFC 2136, and it is frequently used for integrations with systems like DHCP or to automate services like TLS certificate validation with DNS challenges.

Segment 2 (Announcements & Feedback)

• Comment on Episode #597 from Mike, KG4VDK

• Hey crew! Congrats on your 600th episode! I am very thankful you took the time to try out arcOS, and talk about it in depth in episode #597!  While listening to the episode, I won’t lie, I was trying to telepathically (and retroactively) send an “RTFM” hint to help get over some of the hurdles that seemed to pop up. 🙂 Since Bill mentioned it a few times in #597, and again in #598, I’d like to address the topic of icons: arcOS is designed to be a tool used by different types of operators. Some of those operators may be brand new to amateur radio, Linux, or both. The simplified icon set for amateur radio software serves two purposes. First, the icons present a more coherent visual experience. Even within a family of applications (like FL-digi/amp/msg or the VARA modems), many of the factory icons are less than helpful in identifying the represented application. Beyond that issue, some of the included applications just don’t have icons (ARDOP, Paracon, Pat). When trying to decide how to handle these two scenarios, I chose simplicity and legibility. If a user finds the supplied icons offensive, they can easily change them to something that suits their taste us[ing] a user module. I’ll attach a few screenshots that show the differences, as well as a user module that sets the icons to “factory” (README included in the archive). Feel free to reach out with any other feedback you may have, especially if you stick with it for a while. 73 de KG4VDK, Mike.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Atomic Buffalo Turds

• Description

• Russ and I love stuffed Jalapenos, and I stumbled across this recipe browsing the web.  When I mentioned the ingredients to Russ, he protested… thinking that this was going too far outside the proverbial box for his liking.  Even though he balked at the idea, I decided to go ahead and buy the ingredients and served them a few nights ago.  He admitted they were really good and he’d definitely enjoy them again. While I did follow the recipe according to how it was written, next time I am going to tweak it… using some raspberry jam in the filling, which we love mixed into our cream cheese mixture, giving it more of a sweet and salty mix. For those that have a smoker, this recipe includes the info on smoking them or baking them in the oven.

• Ingredients (BBQ Rub)

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 2 tablespoon smoked paprika

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 2 teaspoons onion powder

• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• Ingredients (Jalapeno Filling)

• 8 large jalapeno peppers

• 8 ounces cream cheese

• 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 16 cocktail sausages (lil smokies)

• 8 slices bacon cut in half

• Barbecue rub sprinkle on

• Directions

• Cut whole peppers in half lengthwise (may want to wear gloves). Use a spoon to scoop out any seeds and the ribs. In a medium bowl mix together the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, paprika, chipotle powder, salt and pepper. Fill the jalapeño halves with a generous portion of the cream cheese mixture. Place a cocktail sausage on top of the cream cheese (lately, the jalapenos offered at my local grocery store have been huge, so it has allowed me to place 2 sausages in the jalapeno, end-to-end). Wrap each pepper in half slice of bacon, if you need to you can secure the bacon in place with a toothpick. Sprinkle with barbecue rub. Smoke the jalapeños in the smoker that is set to 225° F and cook for 2-3 hours until bacon is brown.

• Notes

• How to Make Buffalo Turds in the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Follow all of the instructions to prepare the bacon wrapped jalapeños. Put the peppers on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and browned. Serve hot. Tips and Variations: Thin bacon. Use regular bacon for best results instead of thick cut bacon. To add a little sweetness to the cream cheese, add a few spoons of raspberry jam. More spicy: Add some of the jalapeño seeds back in with the cream cheese and cheese mixture. Extra spicy: Are you feeling risky? If you want to make these jalapeños REALLY spicy, leave all of the seeds and ribs inside of them. Or use a spicier pepper like a habanero. Different flavor: Use cayenne pepper or chili pepper instead of the chipotle chile powder. It will add a hint of spice and a different flavor from the chipotle. Double recipe: Easily double the recipe to how every many you can fit in your smoker.

• Jeptha Creed Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

• Description

• Our family motto from ancient Scotland is “Ne Oublie” which loosely translates to “Don’t forget where you come from.” Jeptha Creed is the embodiment off the maxim as we honor our family, state and local heritage. We honor traditions at Jeptha Creed - but we put our mark on them, too. For this mash bill, we’ve combined our bloody butcher corn, grown right here on our famly farm, with malted barley and an ample helping of malted rye to create a spicy bourbon with a smooth finish. Distilled and aged until it’s just right, this bottled-in-bond Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey is a bold take on an old favorite.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Effin’ Fishermans Pie

• Description

• Russ fell in love with this dish at a nearby Irish Pub, and I decided to recreate it at home (nearby=150 miles each way).  I fixed it for dinner last week, and I think he decided that we might not have to make that 300 mile drive.

• Ingredients (Filling)

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter

• 8oz portabella mushrooms, chopped

• 1 bunch green onions, washed thoroughly and thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup dry white wine

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1-1/2 cups seafood stock (or clam juice)

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 lb raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1/2 lb raw bay scallops

• 1/2 lb cod fillets, cut into 1 inch pieces

• Ingredients (Phyllo Crust)

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, or butter-flavored cooking spray

• Directions

• Sauté the aromatics: Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until softened, approximately 5 minutes.  Add sliced green onions and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.  Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Make the sauce: Pour in the wine or sherry and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the seafood stock and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until thickened. Add the seafood: Stir in the Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the shrimp, scallops and cod.  Gently combine the filling until the seafood is evenly distributed. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie dish or a 2-quart baking dish. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Prepare the phyllo: Lay out the thawed phyllo sheets on a flat surface and cover them with a slightly damp towel to prevent them from drying out. Create the crust: Take one phyllo sheet, brush it lightly with melted butter or spray with cooking spray, and place it over the filling. Crumple or fold the edges to create a rustic, ridged texture around the sides of the dish. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets, lightly brushing each layer with butter as you go. Bake the pot pie: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the phyllo crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Rest and serve: Let the pot pie stand for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve hot.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Pupusas and Curtido

• Description

• Pupusas are El Salvadorian stuffed corn cakes served with curtido and salsa roja. They are typically filled with melty cheese, pickled jalapeño and roasted squash, but the filling options are endless!  And the Curtido is a form of pickled coleslaw! I grew up enjoying these with my dad, so making them is a trip down memory lane!  It’s dinner tonight, once the show is over!

• Ingredients (Curtido)

• 1/2 head of cabbage, (2 cups of shredded cabbage)

• 1 medium carrot, grated

• 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano, (if you can’t find Mexican oregano, use Italian!)

• 1 cup hot water

• 1 cup apple cider vinegar

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

• Ingredients (Papusa Dough)

• 3 cups (11.8 ounces/334g) masa harina , (such as maseca)

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt

• 2 3/4 cup cold water, (from the faucet is fine)

• Ingredients (Papusa Filling)

• 2 cups (7.5 ounces) shredded mozzarella, (or Oaxacan cheese or any other melty cheese)

• 1/2 cup pickled jalapeño peppers, diced

• 1/2 cup diced roasted butternut squash

• 1 cup water (for hands)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil (for hands)

• Directions (Curtido)

• To a medium bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrots and Mexican oregano. In a measuring cup, stir together the hot water, vinegar, salt and sugar; pour it over the cabbage/carrot mixture. Allow it to come to room temperature and then cover it with plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge for at least 4 hours and preferably a day before serving.

• Directions (Papusa Dough)

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina and salt. Pour in the cold water and using a spatula, stir the masa until mostly combined. Then, using your hands, mix the dough until a very soft dough forms. The dough will be very soft. This is totally okay; this means a delicious pupusa is on the way! I found it easiest to use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop and scoop out the masa into balls onto a piece of parchment. You could also do this with your hands but be sure to make the water/oil mixture above and coat your hands with it first.

• Directions (Papusas)

• Add the water to a measuring cup and pour in the oil (you can eyeball this). Lightly dip your hands in the water/oil mixture, making sure your palm are evenly coated. This will make it so the masa doesn’t stick to your hands. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. I like to place the pupusas in the oven while I make the rest of the pupusas so they can stay warm and melty. I placed a cooling rack atop a baking sheet and placed it in the oven. Working one at a time, flatten the balls gently until they’re about 1/2-inch thick discs. Place a tablespoon or two of mozzarella cheese, a small bit of diced jalapeño and squash into the center and wrap the dough around the filling creating a half moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal it completely. And then pat the dough gently, flattening it and alternating hands until it reaches about 1/4-inch thick and about 4-inches in diameter. Feel free to re-grease your hands as needed. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough. Meanwhile, preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of neutral oil and brush the surface with a silicon brush. Add the pupusas to the pan, fitting two to three at time. Don’t be shy to break out another cast iron skillet (if you own it). Cook each pupusa for 4 to 6 minutes per side and then transfer to the baking sheet in the oven. Repeat this process until you’ve worked your way through all of the pupusas.

• Directions (Serving)

• Serve the pupusas with the curtido, wedges of lime and salsa.

• Tips and Tricks

• Cookie scoops are your friend! Use a 2 ounce cookie scoop to divide the dough into balls. It makes it super quick and easy and ensures they are close to the same size. Make sure your hands are always oiled. This dough is super sticky and the oil helps so much! While forming the pupusas, if a tear appears, simply pinch the masa shut. Also if a bit of cheese leaks out of the pupusa while cooking it, that’ll be delicious and make a bit of a cheese chip. Let gravity be your friend. When you move the ball of masa from palm to palm, gravity will help make it get a bit flatter. Each time you move it from palm to palm, you should be gently flattening it. When you’re done forming each pupusa, place them on a piece of parchment. You can use a plate or cutting board, just be sure to grease it with a bit of oil so the formed pupusas don’t stick. If you don’t own a large griddle and want to keep the pupusas warm while you work your way through cooking them, use your oven. Place a baking rack on top of a baking sheet and stick it in a 200 degree F oven. As you finish cooking the Pupusa’s, transfer them to the oven to keep them warm.

• Description

• Take a vacation with this great drink!

• Ingredients

• 1-1/2 oz gold rum

• 1/2 oz Lime Juice

• 1 tsp grenadine syrup

• 3/4 oz Hazelnut liqueur (example: Frangelico)

• Directions

• Mix, shake, stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

• 1 x 850g can pineapple slices in 100% pineapple juice

• 1 mango, peeled

• 3 oranges

• 2 Granny Smith apples

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 6 cups cold water

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• (Rum or Vodka, if desired)

• ?Directions

• Put the lemon juice into a large mixing bowl or punchbowl. Dice the apples into small pieces. Stir the diced apple into the lemon juice as you go along, to stop the pieces from browning. Peel the mango. Dice the flesh. Add to the bowl. Open the can of pineapple. Pour the juice into the bowl. Dice the pineapple slices and add to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of 2 oranges, pour into the bowl. Dice the remaining orange and add it to the bowl. Transfer the contents of the fruit and liquid to a large pitcher or a punchbowl, it does make a large quantity. Add 6 cups of water. Add the sugar and salt. Stir. You can drink this immediately, but it tastes best if you put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, and even better if you can wait until the next day. Serve cold.

• Remoting Your SDR

• Dongles (RTL-SDR, AirSpy, SDRPlay, etc)

• rtl_tcp

• an I/Q spectrum server for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers

• SpyServer

• Airspy R0, R2, Mini, Airspy HF+, RTL-SDR and AOR radios can be used as a high performance SDR receiver capable of streaming separate chunks of the spectrum to multiple clients over the LAN or the Internet.

• sdrpp –server

• SDR++ will operate as a server to provide the IQ stream over a network connection to another instance of SDR++ running on a different device elsewhere ona  network - including over an internet connection.  Default port is 5259.

• OpenWebRX

• OpenWebRX is an open source web-based software defined radio application that allows users to share access to one ore more SDR devices using a browser.

• “Software defined radio”: All processing is done in software, using digital signal processing (“DSP”) technology.

• “Web-based”: Users do not need to install anything on their PC; all that’s required to be able to use OpenWebRX is an HTML5 capable browser.

• “Shared access”: Multiple users can use the same receiver at the same time, and can listen to different frequencies and modes (some restrictions apply).

• “Open source”: The code for all parts of OpenWebRX is available under free and open source (“FOSS”) licenses.

• OpenWebRX+

• OpenWebRX+ adds many features missing from the original OpenWebRX, such as noise reduction, tuning steps, scanner, keyboard shortcuts, improved user interface and maps, and decoders for many digital communication protocols. Please note that the following document covers both the original OpenWebRX and the extended OpenWebRX+. Features specific to OpenWebRX+ are marked so.

• PhantomSDR-Plus WebSDR v2.0.0

• PhantomSDR-Plus is a high-performance WebSDR server that can handle hundreds of concurrent users. This enhanced version focuses on Linux optimization and provides significant improvements over the original PhantomSDR.

• Plug and Play Options Hardware/Software Combos for the lazy that don’t want to setup anything and just buy stuff.

• KiwiSDR

These receivers come pre-installed with OpenWebRX and feature an integrated GPS receiver. Its ease of use and comprehensive features make it one of the best HF SDRs available. The Kiwi SDR2 is different from other SDRs. It is a standalone device that attaches to your local network and is optionally accessed through the Internet. A browser is used to connect to the user interface. Most other SDRs generate raw IQ data and need to be connected directly to a PC or laptop running OS-specific, installed software.  (Open Source The licenses used are mostly a mix of GPL v2.1/3 and MIT.)

• SDRPlay nRSP-ST (proprietary)

• The nRSP-ST is a truly “plug and play” integrated, networked general coverage receiver which combines a receiver, a host computer and a whole lot more all in one box. Apply power and connect to the internet and the nRSP-ST can be accessible from anywhere. The receiver comprises a full-featured 14-bit software defined radio. It offers up to 10MHz of spectrum visibility anywhere between 1kHz and 2GHz. The nRSP-ST is ideal as a stand-alone device with remote connections made accessible via its Ethernet or WiFi interfaces. The unit supports a choice of three data transport modes to suit the available network bandwidth of LAN or WAN connectivity. It is ideal for use in a low noise location or where connections to large outdoor antennas are feasible. Large IQ files can readily be stored on a local storage device. SDRplay provides free companion SDRconnectTM client SDR software for Windows, MacOS and Linux platforms, and the nRSP-ST provides a built-in web-server for remote access from most up-todate web browsing capable devices, including Android/iOS tablets and phones.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Pecan Goat Cheese Salad with blackberry vinaigrette

• Description

• A few months ago we stopped in Tupelo, Mississippi for dinner (as we headed home from our Disney World Vacation) and, due to my diagnosis last year with Celiac disease, I have to avoid gluten.  The restaurant we choose had a wonderful gluten-free menu, and this was one of the choices, and it was AMAZING (especially as we dined during a fantastic thunderstorm - we love storms!) It’s a summer friendly recipe, too!

• Ingredients (Salad Base)

• Protein of your choice (rotisserie chicken, grilled shrimp or grilled steak bites)

• Dressing (recipe below)

• Candied Pecans, crumbled

• Goat Cheese Crumbles

• Strawberries (sliced)

• Real Bacon Bits

• Ingredients (Dressing)

• 6oz Blackberries

• 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 2-3 teaspoons sugar

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Directions

• Place all dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend well.  Taste, and adjust ingredients as needed to your taste.  Set aside while you are assembling your salad. In a bowl layer your salad base, protein, dressing.  Then adorn your salad with the candied pecans, goat cheese crumbles, strawberries and bacon bits (if desired)

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Rum Runner

• Description

• A tasty summer cocktail that will take you on a tropical taste vacation!

• Ingredients

• 1 ounce light rum

• 1 ounce dark or aged rum

• 1 ounce banana liqueur

• 1/2 ounce blackberry liqueur, or blackberry brandy

• 1 ounce pineapple juice

• 1 splash grenadine

• Variety of fresh fruit, for garnish

• Directions

• Gather the ingredients. Add all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Strain into a hurricane glass over fresh ice. Garnish with fruit and enjoy. Recipe Variation: Make this rum runner into a frozen drink by pouring the ingredients into a blender with about 3/4 cup of ice. Blend until smooth. A Rum Runner Recipe Heavy on the OJ: If you enjoy orange juice cocktails, this is a great rum runner recipe. It requires fewer ingredients, so it’s super easy to make. The rum, blackberry brandy, and banana liqueur complement the fresh orange nicely, and their combined sweetness offsets the tart citrus. Try it in the blender as well; it makes a fantastic frozen cocktail. To make this drink, combine 1 1/2 ounces of rum with 1/2 ounce each of blackberry brandy and crème de banana, and 3 ounces of orange juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add a dash of falernum (or grenadine), shake, and strain into a chilled hurricane glass. A Classically Styled Rum Runner Recipe: Dale DeGroff’s “The Craft of the Cocktail” is a book filled with amazing recipes like this rum runner. It’s entirely different than all others, and that’s what makes it great. This drink has a lighter profile because it skips the heaviness of orange juice and opts for refreshing pineapple instead. It also features two rums and introduces the rich texture of an egg white. All of these elements give DeGroff’s rum runner a classic style that’s lost in most modern renditions of the cocktail. To make this drink, muddle a piece of lime in the bottom of a cocktail shaker until lightly bruised. Add 1 ounce each of light and medium rums, pineapple juice, and simple syrup, as well as 1/2 ounce of lime juice and an egg white. Shake vigorously (more than usual to properly mix the egg) and strain into a tall glass with ice. Garnish with tropical fruitt. RAW EGG WARNING: Consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs poses a risk for foodborne illness.

• WhistlePig PiggyBack Bourbon Whiskey

• Description

• PiggyBack 100 Proof Bourbon gives our bold approach to whiskey a sweeter spin. Born from our signature grain’s other half, it starts with a high Corn mash bill (keeping a dash of Rye of course). Six long years of age in Char #3 barrels adds layers of flavor before bottling at 100 Proof, so you can keep it 100 whether you choose Bourbon or Rye. Sip it neat or shake it in a classic. With its sweeter profile, PiggyBack 100 Proof Bourbon shines in citrus and sour drinks – like our Barrel Aged Maple Bourbon Sour.

• It’s fun to use.

• YouTube Comment from @jasoncherry3404

• Im very seriously considering purchasing a new Commodore 64 from the UK to use a programming / gaming platform for retro style games.  Do I have to put the system on the internet or can I keep it static for just at home use and just download updates to a jump drive then load them that way?  I’d like to keep the system as clean as I can so the I expose it to the internet the better.  However if I do put the system on the internet for ease of downloading programs are there sites specific to the commodore that have safe content and games for downloading?  What anti virus do you recommend and is there anything that comes with the Commodore OS already?  The video was very informative thank you.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Tasso

• Description

• Our recipe this week comes from the cookbook, Zydeco et pas salè (https://a.co/d/0yGdwOD)), with all the fabulous Cajun recipes, that our friend and longtime listener, Hutch (K9KJN) published.  He recently told me that I could use any of his recipes in the Recipe corner, so I opened up the cookbook today, closed my eyes and just pointed… and this is the recipe I selected!  I’m really happy I did… I love the Tasso he prepares.

• Ingredients (Tasso Meat)

• 1 5-pound pork tenderloin, sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds

• 5 cups Worcestershire sauce

• 5 cups Tasso Seasoning (recipe below)

• Ingredients (Tasso Seasoning)

• 1 cup coarse-ground black pepper

• 1 cup kosher salt

• 1 cup cayenne powder

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1-1/2 cups granulated garlic

• 1 tablespoon allspice

• Directions

• Marinate the sliced pork tenderloin in Worcestershire sauce overnight. Remove the meat and drain. Combine all tasso seasoning ingredients and place the tasso seasoning onto a large, flat platter and dredge the pork in the seasoning, coating both sides. Layer the pork in a large colander, covering each layer with extra seasoning. Place the colander in a large pan to catch any liquids, cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 days. Preheat a smoker. Remove the meat and place in the preheated smoker. Cook until the tasso reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees. Makes about 3 pounds of Tasso Note: This makes a jerky like meat.  Very spicy, but delicious!

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Face Off

• Description

• Bill brought me a lovely bottle of Huckleberry Vodka, from Bozeman Spirits (Bozeman, MT) to Hamvention.  I was encouraged, during the last Weekender, that I needed to find a recipe to share with everyone that featured the vodka.  Here is what I found (and what I found goes well with the vodka).  While I have not found this specific brand on shelves in Missouri, 360 Vodka (based out of Weston, MO) has a Huckleberry Vodka that would be quite tasty this way if you find that on your store shelves.

• Ingredients

• 2 oz Huckleberry Flavored Vodka

• 1 oz Blue Curacao

• 3 oz lemonade

• Ice

• Directions

• Add ice, Huckleberry Flavored Vodka, and blue curaçao to a shaker. Shake and strain into a glass with fresh ice. Top with lemonade.

• Russ’s Drink Corner

• Bumbu XO Rum

• Description

• Bumbu XO is truly a thing of beauty. An aged rum that is smooth, rich and complex. Created from scratch by our master distiller, our XO aged rum is matured in ex-bourbon barrels and selectively finished in white oak sherry casks to achieve a beautifully balanced, endlessly sippable rum. This special release is distilled and aged in Panama, where we created a truly unique – and unquestionably superior – rum. Aromas of toffee, toasted oak, and vanilla give way to orange zest, peppery spice and even a hint of coffee on the palate. A wonderfully engaging rum that encourages repeat visits, Bumbu XO is perfect for traditional rum cocktails – and perhaps even better on its own, neat or with a single ice cube.

• Details

• Mashbill: 100% cane sugar

• Region: Barbados

• Proof: 80 (40% ABV)

• Color: Medium amber

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Portuguese Pork

• Description

• I was looking for a new recipe, and this seemed interesting, so we took it for a spin last night.  Russ gave it 2-thumbs up, and said I should definitely do it for the recipe corner tonight!

• Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 1-1/2 teaspoons coarse (Kosher) salt

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper

• 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch medallions

• 2 red bell peppers, julienned

• 1 cup white wine

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or the juice from 1/2 lemon)

• 1/2 Thinly sliced lemon, for garnish (optional; read notes!)

• Directions

• In a bowl with lid, mix together garlic, salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil and black pepper. With a mallet, flatten the pork medallions to 1/4 inch thick. Place in the bowl with the garlic mixture, tossing to coat. Cover, and marinate 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Heat the remaining oil (1 tablespoon) in a large skillet over high heat. Stir the pork for about 1 minute on each side.  Remove pork from heat, and set aside. Place red peppers, and the garlic marinade from the pork, into the skillet, and saute 2 to 5 minutes, until tender but firm. Pour white wine into the skillet, and scrape up the browned bits. Reduce heat to low, return pork to skillet, and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 145F. Transfer the pork and pepper mixture to a serving platter.  Drizzle lemon juice over the pork and peppers. NOTE: If using lemon as garnish, slice 1/2 lemon into thin rounds while pork is simmering. Squeeze juice of remaining 1/2 lemon over the pork and peppers, after plating, and garnish with the lemon rounds.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Cajun Hasselback Chicken

• Description

• Hasselback Chicken has soooo many ways to prepare it. But, I was looking to change it up and this is what I came up with. It’s on our Tuesday night dinner menu, along with Garlic-Butter shrimp stuffed portabella mushrooms and Cajun-spiced rice with a creamy gumbo sauce to go on any thing that looks like it needs a sauce.

• Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lbs chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless (about 2 halves)

• 4 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, sliced into thin 1/4 inch slices

• 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning

• 1/2 cup spinach, cooked (frozen and thawed or sauteed fresh)

• salt, to taste

• pepper, to taste

• Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, make slits in the chicken breasts that are about 3/4 inches wide, making sure not to cut all the way down through the bottom of the chicken breast. You will have about 7 or 8 slits per chicken breast, depending on how large your chicken breasts are. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the spinach evenly in the slits of the chicken. Combine the breadcrumb and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken. Place the pepper jack slices in the slits of the chicken. Place each chicken on its own lightly greased sheet of tin foil and make a “bowl”, surrounding each chicken breast. This keeps the juices contained. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove each chicken breast from its tin foil “bowl” and place on a serving dish.

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Rum Old Fashioned

• Description

• Let’s add a new twist on the classic Old Fashioned.

• Ingredients

• 3 orange wedges

• 3 Luxardo maraschino cherries

• 1 sugar cube

• 3 Dashes Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters

• 2 ounces Pusser’s British Naval rum

• Directions

• Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice and set aside. Combine two of the orange wedges, two of the cherries, the sugar cube and the bitters in a mixing glass. Muddle the sugar cube with the other ingredients until the sugar dissolves. Add the rum and a scoop of ice to the mixing glass and stir for 40 rotations. Empty the old fashioned glass and then double-strain the cocktail into the glass and garnish with the remaining orange wedge and maraschino cherry.

• Russ’s Drink Corner

• Starward Single Barrel Single Malt Australian Whisky

• Description

• Whisky for the modern, curious drinker. Our distillery is nestled in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. Not the outback. Or a sunshine-soaked beach. Melbourne is a bustling city that celebrates unique cuisines and cultures. Here, we ditch the airs and graces and focus on flavor instead. That’s why we use red wine barrels to mature our whisky. We source all our whisky ingredients from just a day’s drive away. Then, in the wildly varied Melbourne weather, our whisky draws out its signature fruity, delicious flavor in just three short years. We call this elemental maturation and it’s why we couldn’t make our whisky anywhere else. Our Melburnian founder, David Vitale, grew up in a big Italian family. He was born and raised around a food-obsessed, flavor-forward dinner table. And he knows our whisky feels right at home at those moments spent enjoying a meal with others.

• Details

• Mashbill: 100% malted barley

• Region: Melbourne, Australia

• Proof: 110.6 (55.3% ABV)

• Color: Full caramel (may be colored)

• Nose: Vanilla, cherry, red grapes, blackberry, caramel

• Taste: Creme broulee, blackberry, pear, honey, grappa, oak tannins

• Finish: Warm and medium finish with vanilla, hints of oak, dark fruits

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Easy Focaccia

• Description

• Focaccia is one of those breads that is so delicious, simple and forgiving.  And, if you are feeling artistic, you can use it as a canvas for edible artwork, using green onions, garlic, carrots, red onion, roasted peppers or even edible flowers to make a picture on the top of your dough.

• Ingredients

• 2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling/coating the pan as well as the focaccia

• 1 cup warm water (75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit)

• 1-3 sprigs of rosemary leaves

• Flaky sea salt, to taste

• Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the water, yeast, flour, and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms. Add the salt and mix until the dough comes together. It will be sticky. Coat the top of the dough with a thin layer of olive oil and cover with a tea towel. Place dough in a warm place and let rise for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the dough has risen, turn it out into a well-oiled enameled cast-iron braiser or baking pan. Gently stretch the dough to the edges of what you are baking it in. Be gentle and patient at this step. It may take a few tries to get the dough to that shape. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and put in a warm place to let rise in the pan for another 30 minutes. Once dough is ready, coat your hands in olive oil and gently dimple the top of the dough to create small wells with your fingers. Drizzle generously with more olive oil, rosemary, and flaky sea salt. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and carefully from the pan. Slice, serve, and enjoy! Notes: When making focaccia, you can add various toppings like fresh herbs (especially rosemary, thyme, oregano), coarse sea salt, olives, cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, grated parmesan cheese, caramelized onions, peppers, and even a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor; remember to incorporate olive oil throughout the dough and on top before baking for that classic focaccia texture.  Key points about focaccia toppings: Herbs: Rosemary is a classic choice, but you can also add thyme, oregano, sage, or basil depending on your preference. Vegetables: Cherry tomatoes, sliced peppers, and red onion add freshness and color. Cheese: Grated parmesan cheese

• Jack Daniel’s Bottled-in-Bond Tennessee Whiskey

• Description

• Jack Daniel’s Bonded is created from specially selected barrels for this final blend. The search was on throughout the warehouses for whiskeys with boldness and depth of color. The result is Jack Daniel’s Bonded which emerged as the distillery’s 2022 Whisky of the Year. Like all bonded whiskeys, Jack Daniel’s Bonded was produced in one distilling season, aged for a minimum of 4 years, and bottled at 50% alcohol by volume. It’s one with depth of character, offering a host of flavors that marry well. Jack Daniel’s Bonded isn’t entirely new, however, as it has been available in the global travel retail market for the past several years but is now available on store shelves everywhere.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

• Banana Bread Pancakes

• Description

• This week I picked a Pancake recipe, as we are coming up on “Shrove Tuesday” (March 4th).  In the United Kingdom, Ireland and parts of the Commonwealth, Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday; otherwise it’s known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras!  And what’s better than Banana Bread flavored pancakes!

• Ingredients

• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 large ripe banana

• 1 large egg

• 1/3 cup white sugar

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or as needed

• Directions

• Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a small bowl with a whisk. Reserve until needed. Place banana in a mixing bowl and mash into a smooth paste with a potato masher. Add egg and sugar and whisk thoroughly until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add milk, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup melted butter, walnuts, and flour mixture. Whisk until just combined. Let batter rest for 10 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, nonstick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, transfer in about 1/3 cup of the batter per pancake. Reduce heat to medium and cook until edges start to look dry and small air bubbles pop up through the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately. Chef’s Note: While an almost-black banana is recommended here, as long as your banana is fully ripe, and you’re able to mash it fairly smooth, it should still work for this recipe. If you want these a little more decadent, sprinkle on a little chopped dark chocolate before you flip the pancakes — which, of course, is the secret ingredient in our famous banana bread recipe.

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Brandy Crusta

• Description

• Continuing on the Mardi Gras trend… this drink was established as one of the oldest classic cocktails on record (and a direct forbear of the popular Sidecar) in New Orleans; it was invented in the 1850s by Joseph Santini, an Italian bartender plying his trade in New Orleans

• Ingredients

• 2 ounces brandy

• 1/4 ounce orange curaçao

• 1 teaspoon maraschino liqueur

• 1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

• 1/2 ounce simple syrup

• 1 dash Angostura bitters

• Garnish: lemon twist

• Garnish: sugar rim

• Directions

• Rim a coupe glass with sugar and set aside. Add the brandy, orange curaçao, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

• Russ’s Drink Corner

• Beards Town Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

• Description

• There wasn’t much detail to be found about this particular bourbon. It was one I’d never heard of and sitting on the shelf at a larger convenience store outside St. Louis. Bottled at 90 proof with a price tag in the mid-20 dollar range it seemed like it was worth a shot. A little investigation led to the discovery that it’s produced by Sazerac but nothing about it really speaks to it. It might be on off brand product. It’s a Kentucky straight bourbon with no age statement so it’s most likely aged more than 4 years. Being from Sazerac, that seems likely further confirmed. I picked it up hoping it might be a nice alternative for making cocktails or sipping from a whiskey found on the bottom shelf. Beards Town, by the way, is apparently an old name for Bardstown, a place where many fine Kentucky whiskies originate.

• Details

• Mashbill: Undisclosed

• Region: Bardstown, Kentucky

• Proof: 90 (45% ABV)

• Color: Light amber

• Nose: Toasted oak, clover honey, cinnamon, vanilla

• Taste: Vanilla, honey, slightly grassy, barrel spice

• Finish: Medium length, drying with notes of oak, baking spice and honey

• Price: $25 (750ml)

• Rating: 83

Segment 3 (Announcements & Feedback)

• Comment on Episode 571 from Ross, KD0VHN

• RE OBS: There’s an acronym conflict between Open Broadcaster Software and SUSE’s Open Build Service. It’s annoying because you have to pay attention to context, something AIs still don’t manage very well. The AI model was probably trained on material that doesn’t include Open Broadcaster. RE Linux on the iMac w/32bit EFI image: Debian 12.x (Bookworm) has i386 installation media, but I believe upcoming version 13 (Trixie) will not support i386. At least, there’s currently no installation image for testing on that architecture. For long term paths forward for older 32 bit systems Linux is probably not a good choice at this point even though some distros do have some years left in the support life cycles. Many distros and software projects are phasing out legacy x86 support to lighten their support burden. Instead people may want to look at NetBSD or OpenBSD (not FreeBSD because they’re also phasing out 32 bit x86 legacy support). However, it would be a good idea to check software compatibility support for their chosen BSD because not all ham radio projects support the BSDs. If the software isn’t already in their package repositories or an equivalent isn’t available, porting might be necessary which may or may not be as easy as running ./configure && make especially when it comes to audio subsystem API support.

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

• Creamy Greek Pasta Salad

• Description

• We hosted a party last night, and this was a salad we chose to serve to our guests.  Everyone raved about it, and while we had enough to easily serve 30 people, the 10 people in attendance pretty well wiped out the salad… so I guess it’s a keeper in my recipe box!

• Ingredients

• 1 lb pasta such as penne, or bowtie (can use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta)

• 3 cups plain Greek yogurt

• 1 cup Mayonnaise

• 3 cloves garlic minced

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

• 2 teaspoons dried dill

• 2 teaspoons dried oregano

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 1/2 cups halved grape tomatoes

• 1 seedless cucumber chopped

• 3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives halved

• 1/2 cup diced red onion

• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

• Directions

• Cook pasta according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking, stir together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dill, and oregano in a large bowl.  Reserve 1/2 of the dressing mixture if you are making ahead*. When the pasta is done cooking, drain and run cold water over the pasta. Drain completely and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until pasta is well coated. Pour the pasta into the large bowl with the Greek yogurt mixture. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, and feta cheese. Stir gently until ingredients are well coated. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. You can add a little extra dill and lemon juice, if desired. Serve. Note: If making this several hours before serving, you will need the reserved “dressing” to stir in, as the pasta will get dry.  If serving immediately, don’t worry about reserving any dressing. The pasta salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• Bruleed Potatoes

• Ingredients

• 16 ounces frozen hash browns thawed and liquid drained off

• 4 ounces parmesan cheese grated

• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese grated

• 3/4 tsp salt

• 4 ounces chives chopped

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

• Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. The mixture should be slightly runny, add more cream if needed. Transfer to an oven safe baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Broil about 3 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Notes: Thaw the hash browns and remove as much liquid as possible. To remove the liquid, place the thawed hash browns on a kitchen towel, wrap the towel around them and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. When I made them without thawing the hash browns, they were too runny and not as flavorful. Don’t try to lighten up this recipe. Use the heavy cream! The cream is the key to the success of this recipe You can also make single servings by putting some of the mixture into a small ramekin. Reduce baking time to 15-20 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes.

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Apple Cider Martini

• Ingredients

• Caramel sauce, for the rim

• Ice, for shaking

• 4 oz. apple cider

• 3 oz. vodka

• 2 oz. butterscotch schnapps

• Sliced apple, for garnish

• Directions

• Place two martini glasses in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes before serving.  Dip the rims of the martini glasses in caramel sauce. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice. Add the apple cider, vodka, and butterscotch schnapps. Seal and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Divide the mixture between the prepared martini glasses; garnish with apple, if you like. Tip: Don’t have caramel sauce on hand? Dip the rim of the glass in apple cider and then cinnamon sugar for a sparkly, spicy complement to the martini.

• Russ’s Drink Corner

• Thomas S. Moore Sherry Casks Bourbon

• Description

• Sherry is the classic “alternative” aging cask, a technique borrowed from Scotland, where Spanish sherry casks have been the preferred method of aging by some distilleries since well before ex-bourbon barrels were the international norm. The effect on Barton 1792’s high rye bourbon is stellar, and classically sherry. The company has gone all in on extended barrel aging. Starting in 2021 with three different varieties, the company is back with four new finishes. Each of the base bourbons was aged for 5-6 years before being finished in barrels for another 1-4 years. In Sherry Finished Bourbon’s case, the company finished it for 1-4 years in used barrels that held Oloroso sherry previously.

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

• Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

• Description

• It’s fall, and therefore soup season!  And, what is better than a soup that is a “dump and forget”?  I’m a huge fan of slow cooker soups because of that.  And I LOVE Tortilla Soup!  If you want it creamy, add some heavy cream or sour cream into the soup as it cooks.  Want beans?  Add some black beans!  This soup is VERY versatile!

• Ingredients

• 1 pound shredded, cooked chicken

• 1 (15 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, mashed

• 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce

• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups water

• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 bay leaf

• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn

• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

• 7 corn tortillas

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

• Directions

• Gather all ingredients. Place chicken, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, green chiles, onion, and garlic into a slow cooker. Pour in water and chicken broth; season with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Stir in corn and cilantro. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours. When the soup is almost finished, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Cut tortillas into strips, then spread on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle tortilla strips over soup before serving.

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Description

• In Missouri, we joke that if you don’t like the weather… wait 5 minutes and it WILL change.  We are in the beginning of November, but a few days ago it was in the upper 80’s… and over the next 10 days it’s going to be anywhere from mid-60s to upper 70s.  BUT, it’s getting colder out, so warm drinks are always a plus as the temps (slowly) cool down.  AND… mixing Red Wine and Chocolate (I know, it sounds completely crazy!) is really good.

• Ingredients

• 2 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

• 1/4 c. cocoa powder

• 1/2 c. granulated sugar

• Pinch kosher salt

• 6 c. whole milk

• 1 (750-ml.) bottle red wine

• Toasted marshmallows, for serving

• Chocolate shavings, for serving

• Directions

• Step 1: Combine chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, milk and wine in slow cooker. Cook on high for one hour, whisking every 20 minutes. Step 2: Ladle cocoa into mugs and top with toasted marshmallows and chocolate shavings.
