Stopping in to say hello

[Northern NH Mike]

I don't get in as much as I did in the past, but with the weather finally turning colder and starting my first few fires I wanted to wish all well.

My VC continues to keep us warm. We're burning some maple right now that came down a year ago. Small rounds from the branches took take the chill and damp off.

Still enjoy a Friday evening with the stove going, my wife on the couch reading, the dog camped out in front of the stove and me with an Old Fashioned.

Enjoy the season.

I guess old age is catching up with my cat. She never came into the living room since the dog is usually there. I guess they have a detente going. She sleeps by the stove most of the night now.

Welcome back. Did the dog get an old fashioned too?

...would that be a whiskey Old Fashioned or an official cocktail of Wisconsin, Brandy Old Fashioned?
Prost!

James I am a rye man myself. I just recently heard about the Wisconsin Old Fashioned in a book I was reading. I'm game for giving it a go.

LOL He's not quite old enough yet.

if you're ever in the area, Ishnala Supper Club near the Dells in Wisconsin makes the best Brandy Old Fashioned (in my opinion)

just in from the local newspaper (online)... and just for you @Northern NH Mike

Ishnala sells record number of old fashioneds, goes for Guinness World Record

The supper club on Mirror Lake accomplished the feat during its season that lasts just six months.

My wife actually makes the best brandy old fashioned sweet. I'm more a beer drinker, myself, but when she makes and old fashioned I'll have one. I think it's all in the cherries.

I'm having a bourbon old fashioned right now. I will have to try the Wisconsin version. Is Korbel the best brandy for those ignorant of brandies?

 

[clancey]

To answer your question--Yes. clancey
