I’ve never been a big incense guy. I don’t mind the smells, I just constantly leave the room while they’re burning and it’s a fire hazard.
Same thing with candles. I had to stop running them when I’m alone in the house because I keep leaving the room they’re in.
This cute(?) little Japanese, match-sized, incense stick is right up my alley. Even I can sit in a room for 10 minutes, probably.
Started this weekend’s podcast recording (in person with Adam!) with this very solid IPA from Burial Brewing.
Then we moved over to this decent DIPA. Great label but I don’t remember the brewery.
And I wrapped the day with a family outing to a new Mexican place, and standard-issue Negra Modelo, that opened by us. I got the birra tacos and they were delicious.
Here are some words. I’ll also add a photo.
Let’s try posting from my phone using Ulysses.
The photos this didn’t work well from the desktop, since it was drawing from the Photos app.
Maybe from here it will pull from my phone’s photos?
I enjoyed a fun variation on a gin and tonic (that I cribbed from my buddy Lange) for recording the other night. The Hendrick’s gin leans more toward the flowery end of the gin scale, with its rose and cucumber flavors. The Aperitivo Rosato boosts the flower content with hibiscus and orange blossom. You only want to use a splash of it, though. Any more than that and it will seem like you’re drinking a bouquet.
A strong tonic and healthy squeeze of lime balance the whole glass nicely. It’s a refreshing variation on a classic. I like it.
Intergalactic Tacos are some of my fave food truck food.
And a 10-minute drive to Proper Pie is way better than the 40 it was from the old place.
I do enjoy a “new watch band” post, and Crown and Buckle always have something fun to swap into.
I do enjoy stopping by the Cask for the semi-regular Courtesy Desk popup.
Tracy’s shop is stocked with great tunes worth checking out.
Stuck in the Phoenix airport long enough to miss all of my connecting flights home, but I’ll land in Charlotte too late to do anything.
Not that I need a reason to have a cold one and a sandwich, but this’ll do.
