I still have the hat.... Thanks! One interview is actually one I haven't heard from since March, whom I started the interview process in December, the other two are new. It's good timing as my unemployment ran out last week.

I'm a newcomer to the bourbonsies myself, still on first bottle ever. Pleasant little companion when one is weary of searching dark basements for flashlights & such.

I had to go with an upstart small-batch distiller near chicago for my first (Few) - gorgeous bottle, looks like it belongs on a druggist's shelf, circa 1935.

Does the bourbon affect cancer rates one way or another?

A snort of Woodford with a single ice cube is mighty pleasant.
Avatar 4:39pm
northguineahills:

It's been 18 months since I could regularly afford good bourbon, but as Cheri Pi said, Woodford is always a good first choice. I have to admit, when buying quality liquor, I go Scotch, mezcal, tequila, bourbon, and maybe some other regional speciality. a good distilled batch of white lightning is always fun if you can find some.

In my non-gov't offices, it was pretty much expected that everyone was drinking, everyone had bottles of liquor at their desks in plain site. Gov't jobs, my boss had tell us to be quiet that he let us drink during a dept. lunch.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Cabeza (cabeça in Portuguese) is a Spanish word meaning "head". In Mexican cuisine, it is used to describe the meat from a roasted head of a beef animal, served as taco or burrito fillings.

Typically, the whole head is placed on a steamer or grill, and customers may ask for particular parts of the head meats they favor, such as ojo (eye), oreja (ear), cachete (cheek), lengua (tongue), or labios (lips)." Thanks NGH, I did not know that!
Avatar 5:51pm

Matt, thanks for that. Heard a local singer do that song on a tribute to Bacharach, and he sang if very close to the version we just heard. I wondered whether the Walkers' version was considered the definitive one.

@Parq: Bacharach/David songs are very popular to record and release--the definitive version (sometimes even the *original* version) can be hard to find w/o a little research.
