Is it possible for good rum to go bad? How can one ensure their fine bottle of rum will last for more than a year. Do you store it like wine, with the cork covered by the liquid? Or sitting up? Do I need to worry about 'sediment'? Do corked rum need to be drank right away or can it be stored for a year or more? How do you know if rum has gone bad? ~Lady B

When the mood strikes, I like to combine several rums into the flask and see what happens . . tastewise. I like to call it Alche-rummy. . . My last blend from the weekend was: 3oz Westerhall Plantation Rum 2oz (or so) of Dogfish Head Honey Brown Rum 2oz (or to top off the 6oz flask) Brindley's Vanilla Rum Turned out very smooth and sweet with an obvious tone of Vanilla Honey. Ended up getting several 'thumbs up' from around the campfire. I'll let you folks know what I find, both good and bad, but in the meantime, what flavors/ blends have you experimented with?

Barbancourt vs. Matusalem Last weekend I finally was able to find a bottle of Barbancourt rhum from Haiti. I’ve always wanted to try this rum and have heard great things about it. My usual favorite is Matusalem Gran Reserve rum from the Dominican Republic, around the other side of Hispaniola. I was interested in comparing the two. I was on my way to visit my friends Mary and Roger for the weekend and, needless to say, the bottle of rum was brought out Saturday night. I was playing my pirate songs for Mary, my old mentor in tunes from the Emerald Isle. Well, we had a rum first, and Mary topped off my glass between songs, refilling hers almost as often, and occasionally Ro…

I just found Animal's thread : A Boucanier Barbecue and it kinda answered what I was looking for... but I'll post this anyway... The last batch of buccan/jerky I made was just dried meat, with no seasoning. I had cut the meat into thin strips, and placed them on the grill from my oven, and then put that over the heater...This works great in Winter... I have to heat the house anyway, so I can also dry out some jerky at the same time..... in three days it was all completely dried. (unfortunately, I kinda nibbled it all up, so I have to make some more...) I've read recipes for jerky using soy sauce, or honey or Tabasco, and obviously salt. But I was trying to figgure out w…

This information is from Appendix E in Benerson Littles' The Buccaneers Realm. Comments are welcome and encouraged. It is quoted in it entirety: "Sund. Our Men feasted on shoar with Barbakude, Goats, and Fish, &c.," wote John Cox, former commander of the Mayflower prize in the South Sea. An ancient tradition even in the seventeenth century, smoking or grilling meat on a barbecue, or barbacoa, was common both as a means of preserving food as well as well as cooking it. Today, purists distinguish between barbecuing and grilling: the former is slow cooking over several hours or more, the latter quick. However for the Caribbean adventurer in the late seventeenth centur…

As we prepare for Twelfth Night I'm teaching Gretchen about Scottish Black Bun. It's the cake that most Americans seem to not enjoy; it's a rich fruitcake inside a pastry crust, flavoured with spices and whiskee. Ever since I first came to the states 40 years ago I have yet to understand most Americans' reticence regarding fruitcake. not that in the end I mind it(since it has always lead to more for me ) Tuesday's Dinner will begin with: Roast Elk(since I can't get Red Stag) Mashed Buttered Turnips with chives Broccoli in Stilton cheese sauce SCOTTISH BLACK BUN This cake in a crust is the traditional New Year cake in Scotland. This one is from a family recipe book …

Story at Irish Central "A fire broke out at the Guinness factory in Dublin shortly after noon local time. Over nine fire brigades and three rigs with aerial ladder platforms were able to contain the blaze before it spread to the ammonia plant at the site. An official from Guinness was able to confirm that no one was hurt in the incident. “There were no injuries to any personnel and the fire has been extinguished,” the spokeswoman said. “An internal investigation is under way to find out exactly what the cause of the accident was.” The fire broke out near the Victoria Quay entry to the factory, and locals in the area are being advised to keep their windows closed due…

So I purchased Hatchet Meg's (of the BlackBeard Crew) rum cake cook book at the Hampton festival earlier this month... After hearing so much about how great her cakes were, and after tasting it first hand (she was selling samples at the festival) I had to have the recipe book.... Up until now, I haven't really had the excuse to make one, but later this week, we are having a pot luck at work for Independence Day, so I thought that would be a good excuse to make one. Well I just dragged the wife to the grocery store (against her will) to buy the ingredients we didn't have on hand (most of them), and then raced home to bake the cake (which Kate has lovingly done 99% of the …

Just buzzing through Woodall's The surgions mate and I came across this interesting quote on the causes of Tenesmus (which I would describe in layman's terms as a really serious case of constipation.) "And sometimes it [Tenesmus] happeneth here in our Countrie, as some English Writers affirme, by little drinking of beere or ale, and sometimes it commeth by drinking too much wine, and by eating of costive meats, and superabundance of choler adust." [Choler is another name for the humor yellow bile - believed to cause anger and bad temper.] (Woodall, p. 242) Wine was generally considered inferior to beer during period from what I've read. So he's giving you all a reason …
