Here's the recipe for Hostetters bitters.


Gentian root:1.5 ounces
Orange peel : 2.5 ounces
Cinnamon: 1/4 ounce
Anise: 1/2 ounces
Coriander seed: 1/2 ounce
Cardamom seed: 1/8 ounce
Un-ground Peruvian bark (cinchona): 1/2 ounce
Gum kino: 1/4 ounce
Grain alcohol (vodka, gin) – 1 quart
Water – 4 quarts
Sugar – 1 pound

Mash together the gentian, orange peel, cinnamon, anise, coriander, cardamom and Peruvian bark. Mix the crushed ingredients with the gum kino and the alcohol. Let the mixture sit in a closed container for two weeks, shaking occasionally. Strain the mixture, add the sugar and water to the strained liquid and serve.
 

RR,

Just to change it up from postage stamps I snapped up some shares of CSX railroad and just to cover the air transport also bought some Spirit Airline shares.

After 35 years of working in Railway marketing time to have others work for me and pay me dividends.....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

Ain't that Social Security? Or do you guys have that up there in Canada?

Sounds good to me anyway you look at it though! :laughing7:
 

RR,

Well the way it works is the smart folks work for major companies that pay well such as railroads and airlines. Now the really smart ones figure why not buy some shares of those companies so you own part of the company. Now you got all those smart people working for you and you get part of the profits through the share ownership.

Not social welfare it's called capitalism my young friend....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7: next lesson tomorrow.

I never followed anything other than the fact that I'm going to start investing young, when I get a job. Invest in Coca Cola or something.
 

I caught crabs today and killed some convicts.

I don't mean pants rabbits and felons. There are these little crabs I found at low tide, and used them to catch some sheephead which are striped black on white like prisoner's garb. The convict fish taste delicious. I don't know what the little crabs taste like but I think the convicts think they are candy. Ahhh, life by the sea is the life for me.
 

The Adventures of AARC and El POLLO LOCO

Some of them made me laugh so hard I couldn't catch my breath,.......
Foghorn Leghorn...
Oh my God,...... it's AARC when he was a little kid!
That chicken is about to have a bad day,.....
"I say, boy, today is the day, you hear, TODAY is the DAY"!
"Now where did I hear that before"?

Duckshot,
Well if you don't have luck fishing you can always eat the crabs.

I'm thinking of signing up for masterclass. Since I'm really interested in cooking it's more than worth it to get the unlimited access to the videos of Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller, Alice Waters, Wolfgang Puck and a few others.
