I think that Fat Day wrote a song about the cold Boston winters called Why is this place inhabited?


Bookers is great for sipping. It is 125 proof (or thereabouts) so is designed to be served on the rocks or with other beverages. In tea, it is a wonderful thing.

If you're looking for a decent cheap single malt, McClelland's is ok. It's about 20 a fifth and they make all the different varieties. It's a good way to sample them on a level field and not spend a fortune.

If you're looking for a basic blended, Dewars is usually my standard.


I've never done a coffee+scotch. Whiskey, sure, of course, although I prefer it in lapsang souchong tea.

My regular scotch is Johnnie Walker, nothing fancy.

Glad it's cold again.


I used to use irish whiskey, but I was out once and had some scotch. It worked well.

I'm from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, so this has been a very mild fall for me here in Chicago. October up there probably looks like it does here in December. The winters can be quite beautiful, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with them anymore. They are 5 months long, about twice the length of summer.

This is my first winter in NJ since I was 2. 24 years of Florida "winters" that are on average about 10 degrees warmer than Wiggins' Atlanta "winters".

Looking forward to snow!

Winter! Is great!

I'm over humidity and heat and and people flubbering out of their tiny summer clothes.

I roasted squash last night, made some great soup and slept with the windows open under a heavy pile of blankets. And now I get to walk to work while it's snowing. Brilliant.


Did you put maple syrup and cinnamon on the squash last night? Was it acorn squash? Thanks for the idea. I don't have to work tomorrow so I'm going to go to the store right now and get some acorn squash and eat the fuck out of it.



I love the roasted acorn squash, but have always done it with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Never the maple syrup.

I need my squash soup to be savory. Roasted butternut squash guys with sage or a bunch of shallots. And a nip of Knob Creek neat while I'm cooking, please.
