Rubbing the Gecko: June 2014
http://sphenodon.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. We wanted the Baltics, but then Eurostar came up with some nice deals, so Belgium it is - this time. Talinn, I'm watching you. Conversations concerning this went something like:. Contemplating going to belgium. No, why would you say that? It's more my bucket list of seeing the european parliament. And my passionate engagement with Herman van Rompuy's haiku's. Well yes, ok, they are very moving. In a fit ...

Rubbing the Gecko: So this is christmas...
http://sphenodon.blogspot.com/2014/12/so-this-is-christmas.html
Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. So this is christmas. Had a great time pre-xmas up in Scotland. Started off better than expected by flying out of Luton, which was pretty quiet. Pottering around galleries, parties and great food/booze. Too much of both. As usual, GoMA. We left Queen St station about an hour before the tragedy. Which we didn't hear about until much later in the afternoon since we'd gone direct to SMWS for lunch.

Linkwood-like suggestions?: singlemalt
http://singlemalt.livejournal.com/55426.html
The Psycho Chicken (. Suggestions sought. I am looking to buy a nice bottle for a good friend whose fairly limited experience of malts suggests he likes sherry matured whiskies and doesn't like even slightly peated drams. He fell deeply in love with my 15 year old Gordon and Macphail. And the Balvenie Doublewood. Went down well too, but he didn't take to something even mildly peaty such as Jura Superstition. Am prepared to spend a bit of money on this one so suggestions welcome. Post a new comment.

I am feeling superior today...: singlemalt
http://singlemalt.livejournal.com/55126.html
I am feeling superior today. I stopped at Binny's after lunch today (any of you not in the Chicagoland area or unfamilair with Binny's - I grieve for you.) I overheard a discussion between a salesguy and a Scotch noob and I distinctly heard: ARD-berg, ISSS-lay, AK-un-TOE-shen, LA-guv'lin, and a Bowmore that rhymed with "Cow Lore." He referred to the Laphroiag and Caol Ila by pointing at them and didn't even try. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

Rubbing the Gecko: March 2015
http://sphenodon.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. Cooking with Bruce: Vege (or Pork) Chipotle and Pinto beans. Been awhile between drinks eh? Today's recipe was a total win for dinner last night. The recipe was for a pulled pork thing, but it works well with vege (courgettes, etc). I've adapted it to use chipotle chilli rather than the paste they'd suggested (dicks! 08kg pork shoulder steaks, cut into 3cm pieces or equivalent in vegetables. 3 Add the sp...

Rubbing the Gecko: Top Albums 2014 : Number 6-15
http://sphenodon.blogspot.com/2015/01/top-albums-2014-number-6-15.html
Musings from Sphenodon on, mostly, beer, whisky, food and music. Other rants as and when I have them. Top Albums 2014 : Number 6-15. It's more usual to have a top 10, but I usually struggle with that and have at least two tenth equal, and 2014 was a brilliant year for music. So I decided 15 was reasonable, unlike some ( ehh HippyDave. Who went for 25. I decided the top5 could probably be ordered, and the next 10 were a block. So you get the block now, and the top5 shortly. And so to the 6-15. Fair to say...
