Perfect post! I’m a big fan of rancho gordo but have not yet come across the Mayacoba beans. So will hunt them down. In fact i had rice and beans last night, but have never considered mashing them in that dish. Lots to,love in this missive, but the best part of the post was the mini-measuring spoons. I’m mean we all know what a tad means, so to actually quantify it is , well, unbelievable!!! Perfetto!!
Not only do you make GIN martinis, but also enjoy Sazeracs with sprayed absinthe. The Special Martini sounds incredible.
As if I needed additional reasons to love you unconditionally.
The use of absinthe reminds me of a cocktail I discovered several years ago at the now-defunct Zero-Zero in San Francisco called Violet Death in the Afternoon. It immediately appealed to my goth-ish cyberpunk sensibilities and is based on a drink invented by Papa H. during his Left Bank days.
In a chilled glass like the one in your hand, put three ice cubes and half a jigger of absinthe. Fill the glass about 2/3 with Prosecco, then pour enough Creme de Violette for the desired color. Stir thoroughly.
After seeing a faux president pretend to throw shit at American cities, and demolish part of The People's House for a fucking gold-plated vanity room, drink 3 to 5 of these, VERY slowly.
Mmmm. Beans!

Oh Kathy, I’m so glad you’re inspired. You will adore the mini spoons. They come in handy for all sorts of things. Meow meow
