Dave’s homemade Christmas ice cream flavors for 2020: Brach peppermint and bourbon & Heath toffee
*the bourbon & Heath toffee doesn't have actually Heath bars or any kind of chocolate in it, just the toffee bits.
For full sized ice cream maker: 3 cups sugar + 4 cups whole milk + 4 cups heavy whipping cream + 2 tbsp vanilla + pat of butter + shot or 2 of bourbon. Mix over low heat then cool. Churn until semi firm, add pack of Heath toffee bits, churn until done
prepping for today's #DavesCarIDService I saw this neato pic from the always wonderful @TracesofTexas (forwarded by @DruncleWill) leading down a weird historical rabbit hole. First, I can say the truck here is a 1910-15 Universal. Next, the rabbit hole.
Confession: even in my advanced age and state of automotive OCD, I had previously never heard of Universal Motor Trucks. But here it's conveniently labeled as such on the truck's chassis. So I decided to dig for more info.
Warning: this will be a long thread about obscure industrialists from more than 100 years ago that ultimately has no moral, other than stuff is more connected than you think. If that is tedious to you, you might as well mute this thread now.
*Mermaid show at the Polynesian Room, Yankee Clipper Hotel, Ft Lauderdale.
I enjoyed the show but cannot in good conscious put it in my Tiki bar top 10, thanks to the dipshit DJ spinning Pitbull and whatnot. Tiki bar music should be lilting Hawaiian guitars & Martin Denny
please do not reply about the NY Times Tiki article, I already vented my spleen about that yesterday
As a long time adherent, enthusiast, and promoter of America's great vintage Tiki bars, this is the hill on which I will die. But let's face it, these people don't just hate Tiki, they want to wipe out ever last form of harmless escapism.
needed to research this one a bit; what you have there is a VW Type 2 utility truck, and if really diesel it's a 1981-85, and picture is almost certainly in Brazil. The earlier air cooled versions of these are very collectible.
This puts it in a different light. If all this means is that the State of New York has to remodel all of its museum gift shops to remove the Confederate paraphernalia aisles, I guess that's their business
