This Weekend in Open Source (Segment 2)

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

  • Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

  • Easy Baked Churros

  • Description

  • I’m a huge fan of anything that involves cinnamon and sugar.  And these are a state fair (they’re coming up soon!) staple for me!  Russ is not a fan, though… so he’ll not offer any input on these, but they are quick and easy

  • Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 (12-ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

  • Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside. With your hands, roll each biscuit into a 9-inch rope.  Dip in melted butter, and coat with sugar mixture.Twist several times, and place on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden.

  • Russ’s Drink Corner

  • Yellow Spot 12YO Irish Whiskey

  • Description

  • Rather than being simply a finished whiskey, Yellow Spot is special in that it contains whiskey that has been matured for a full 12 year period in three oak cask types: American bourbon barrels, Spanish sherry butts, and uniquely, Spanish Malaga casks. The Malaga cask brings an exotic sweet note to the whiskey making it a truly delightful taste experience. Only extremely limited quantities of Yellow Spot have been bottled making it a whiskey to seek out and savour as a true rarity.
