The Catoctin Creek Pizza Club

Leave a comment

The n’th in a multi-year series. Baker Bob (aka Larry Kilbourne) and Scott Harris create some excellent pies and talk about the world. We always start with a batch of excellent cocktails.

This time featuring a lesson in Chinese toasts (“empty cup”) replete with rewards.

Meanwhile baker bob checks in on his double gluten dough.

We made 5 pies. Delicious.

Becky’s injury kept her parked on the main floor.

Scott was jealous, so he injured himself to keep up.

Larry made a new friend.

We ended the night with an industry sour
Equal parts: fernet, simple syrup (1:1), green chartreuse, lime. Such an excellent nightcap.

Always a pleasure to have a cocktails, salad, and pizza night with our Catoctin Creek buddies and Baker Bob.  This iteration included cake and a special appearance by eddie.

A kind of Paper Plane.

Becky made an excellent drink with the hot honey rye. Delicious.

Catoctin Creek: Local Excellence in Distilling

Leave a comment

It was an interesting evening…a fundraiser for the USO at the best local distillery (well, the best legal local distillery anyway).  The dress instructions were vague and a bit confusing.  Something about casual something or other with red and black.  LOL.

So anyway, we wore this.

Our dear friends Donnie and Geri came and we scored the head table with our excellent hosts and good friends Scott and Becky.  Scott and Becky are the powerful couple behind Catoctin Creek.

Scott pinged me and we did the kilt thing!

I love wearing my kilt, and I especially love it when my buddies wear theirs too.  More kilts is what we need to solve global warming.

The kilts and the stills

 

Romey was resplendent in her red shoes.

 

The food was good.  The company was interesting. And the 1908 Rye?  Well, you only get to try that once or twice in one 2021 life.

We ran the proof in the back.

 

Fred Minnick was the MC

Fred did a great job keeping things moving and imparting wisdom about the booze we were drinking.

There was cake.

 

All the hosts at once.

 

A Paper Plane nightcap back at the home bar ended the evening.
