I can't tell you how pleased I am to have the validation of seeing the word "spork" written down – for years I was corrected by people insisting they were called "splayds". But now, VINDICATION! #thenoodleswereawfulbytheway
The bloke in the shop said the Amaryllis would flower once every 2 years.I guess nobody bothered explaining that to the Amaryllis.
#larrybstanding taking a moment to smell the flowers at Ashton Court. And then to swing his ball-thing around like a frigging maniac. Legend.
No point taking photos unless you share 'em I guess… So here's a small selection of the frankly absurd whiskies it was my privilege to taste at #whiskyshow #oldandrare on the weekend. And a great opportunity to see some less old but equally rare and wonderful people. But I didn't take pictures of them.
Without wanting to be too much of a berk about it, this is me having the (Old and) Rare privilege of tasting a Talisker distilled around 1895.
Moody 4:30pm post-sunset from a Larrywalk a couple of weeks ago. #nofilter #darkness
Is YOUR oven on the fritz? Got a beef roast that needs cooking, and 24 hours to spare? Then why not SOUS-VIDE it!
2nd Blood & Sand of the night switches out Talisker for the highly sought after but rarely seen NAS blend, "Elements of Forbes" – blended by the reclusive Italian master, Tim DuePasta. Really brought the drink to life.
Time for the annual making of the Blood & Sand at the BStanding household. Blood oranges a LOT redder than usual, and for some reason I totally forgot I needed sweet vermouth, but *luckily* had a bottle of Cocchi rolling around in the cupboard. Tried with #Talisker 10 this year, cos I'm out of JW Double Black. #cocktails #inept #lovescotch #vitaminCfixesofinstagram
Wound up with slightly more Kingstons and Fantales today than I was expecting to… #straya
