I too prefer Rum over any other spirit, even the scent of it makes me smile. My favourite blend is with Coffee on cold mornings or nights.

Rum is my preferred beverage also... The nautical in me. A tot o' rum and a hearty heave ho.

Was thinking that too. But I’ve been guilty once or twice.

Just using a variant of English for the benefit of our non native English speaking members. Should be ok as long as it’s not a foreign language cartridge shooting variant. If not, c’est la vie.

Bad decisions make for good stories.

And have I got some stories to tell!

And thinking a bit more about it, maybe we should bring in your freshman English teacher and get her opinion on your ability to correctly use the English language. Personally, don’t remember doing that well myself in English class.

@TDM BTW... Big thunderstorm just passed over.... You had me thinking of heading to cover, then I thought roll the dice so I had me a snifter of Kilo Kia with a cube under the patio and watched the Old Man rage.

Wasn't turned into a lightening rod
So you are cleared to shoot conicals, with heavy loads of T7 FFFg in large bore carbines

I guess that means no Fusil de Tulle or Jaeger discussions.

What about Hillbilly? Hope that's okay or they'll have to ban most of us.

Glad to hear that! Keep at it, you’ll make me a true believer yet!!!

Ok. just trying to let you know there are rules in this forum. and trying to head off you being banned from the site.
but by all means carry on.
and if i remember right there were other things on my mind when my 22 year old freshman English teacher was around. of was that my French teacher? forgot most of the English i was taught in the last 60 or so years, but not the teacher.

There is a very set dogma here and shame on ANYONE who violates that dogma. You must be a true believer.

You MUST only shoot the Round Ball, magic pill of death.

You MUST only use Black Powder (no subs).

You MUST never exceed 70 to 80 grains of powder, "you simply don't need to"

CVA/Traditions are trash (but there is a strong segment that calls BS. I call them the Reformist movement)

There are a few more, but minor compared to these. 100's of years, unimpeded by progress. I always get a laugh.

"A little more like guidelines, actually..."

This is completely unlike Mexican chorizo. The only thing similar is that is red and goes by chorizo.

This doesn't need to be cooked as it is cured and is only made from pure pork meat, usually shoulder. No lymph glands, offal, parts and pieces like Mexican chorizo

Simple ingredients, pork shoulder coarsely ground, Smoked Pimenton, Salt, fresh garlic, a splash of red wine, a little curing salt (#1).

As my Spanish relatives say, "Es la leche" (you got to be Spanish or have lived there to understand that colloquialism)

I don’t mind guts, and though I love anything that resembles Mexican food from the real thing to street tacos to Tex Mex to Taco Bell, I never developed a taste for Mexican Cherizo.
Spanish Chorizo is a whole other story.
A chorizo and pepper paella I could eat it three times a week

My wife is a professional baker. A few years ago she won middle TN district fair fruit pie 1st place with her peach cobbler. It is a real challenge trying to lose weight living with that, so your point is a legitimate one. But you should see what she can do with blackberries. Sourdough cinnamon rolls took the gold last year...

Ah, the curses of living with a baker. Tim, long years ago I snagged a quilter who thinks it normal to grind her own grain and make her own flour and flowers. Satisfying the quirks of those mental processes has brought joy not only to our lives but to the several cats who have allowed us to support them both while waking and asleep. A package deal it seems (incomplete if without each of its parts) that I've taken as one of life's lessons, that womens is like cats: There's just no point in having one if you aint gonna spoil 'em.

About making sausage, the wife has been drying a good crop of herbs this year and I've got a bumper crop of coriander and peppers to boot.

Here in the land of Aussies "a hearty heave ho" means "heaving the guts"......."chundering in the ol pacific sea"......."spewing the pizza"......"ruining the new wifes wedding dress with organic running fluids".
Its not that we're vulgar kulcharily speaking, just that we have a significantly different application of the English language. Ask yourselves why no Aussie Army Officer has ever been appointed to the Brit Queen or Kings Equirey position, its because we're not "English" enough with the "Englishnese" BS.

HAHA We speak English in the USA only in the loosest definition. As a matter of fact we have our own dictionary that started around the time of our second casting off of the Crown in the 1800's. It's called the Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language.

Anyone who would add an u to color, PLEEEEEASE.

As for heave ho, it was a nautical chant used to hoist the main sails.

I've often wondered why we say we speak English. Much of our words and spelling is different, although very similar. I think it's high time we declare ours the American language.

That was done in 1828 with the release of the above mentioned dictionary. Old Noah Webster was tired of the English and their extra vowels and the "beyond ..... absurd" use of the letter k.

English in the United States is merely a base language to be twisted in any way to fit the time or subject presently being discussed. It changes daily. English in school I'd have never passed if it had not been for the literature part of the class. I couldn't tell you the difference between a verb and a noun. As for pies there is none better than Elizabeth James's chess pie made from her family's 1790 recipe.
