The great summer adult beverage recommendations keep pouring (no pun intended) in. Today’s comes from Susie B. in northern NY state – …this is one of our favorites for the summer, my husband thinks the guys at Prime Meats in Brooklyn may have come up with this Porch Crawler recipe. The combination of flavors is […]
Thirsty Thursday
Friend of Chi Wulff, catering genius and chef extraordinaire, hot babe, fly fisher and all around good gal Libby sent this cocktail recipe over last week suggesting it would be another great share for Thirsty Thursday. …Here’s another good summer cocktail recipe for your Thirsty Thursday – the Redhead in Bed. Despite the almost suggestive […]
Strolling through the farmers’ market the other day I rounded a corner and there were tables and tables of early peaches already out; the temptation to stop, touch and smell was too much to resist. For some strange reason those peaches invoked a flash back to a summer now nearly 22 years ago when we […]
There are just some things you can’t quite get here in Montana. Really good, fresh seafood. Real BBQ. Sweet tea. That last one is perhaps the one I miss most about living in more southern climes. A big glass of sweet tea on a hot afternoon after a good day on the water is very […]
There a lot of great things about summer. Caddis fly hatches, early morning tricos on the Missouri, nearly 18 hours of Montana fishing light every day, the legendary Salmon fly hatch, wading wet. Gulpers on Hebgen, Green Drakes on the Henry’s Fork and Slough Creek; hoppers, beetles, ants and wasps everywhere. Fajitas, steak and chicken […]
And the summer cocktail, punch and other adult beverage recipes keep rolling in, here’s another tasty suggestion from Brandy in San Antonio. …Our women’s fly fishing group goes at least once a month to chase redfish around Rockport (ed. – damn, that sounds fun). We rent a beach house down there and have one big […]
Today’s Thirsty Thursday treat comes via Eddie in Albuquerque – …My wife’s family is from Spain, where most Cavas are produced in Catalonia. I don’t know how absolutely historical this Cava Sangria recipe is, but it’s one of our favorites for entertaining in the hot, dry summer here and has come along on many fly […]
About ten days ago, close to 7 pm on a hot, muggy evening with the mercury pushing 90, a neighbor waved me down as I was headed home. He was having a little shindig with some friends and wanted to proffer a cup of the potent punch he’d concocted that afternoon along with some barbecue […]
Lizzy in Houston sent in this cooling cocktail perfect for entertaining a crowd this weekend – The Piñata. My husband and I (fly fishing Wyoming and Idaho natives) are both grinding through postdoc work at the Med Center in Houston. Thanks for keeping Chi Wulff running, you guys provide a glimpse of home country sanity […]
Just a couple of days ago She Who Must Be Obeyed and I ran out to the farmers’ truck market here in town in search of some fresh-off-the-farm slicing tomatoes. Those first, sun-kissed, perfect summer tomatoes always make it seem like you’ve never tasted a real tomato before and these didn’t disappoint. There were lots […]
Cinco de Mayo today demands a change in programming this week… From 1980-84 She Who Must Be Obeyed and I lived in San Antonio while I ground through med school; we lived as poor as proverbial church mice on my $5K student loan and her $7800 annual salary as a teacher in struggling private girl’s […]
Being of the ‘it’s better to fish when everybody is drinking and watch sporting events on the tube’ camp, we’ll probably be fishing this weekend when folks by the houseful will be enjoying their dose of vitamin B (bourbon) while watching fast ponies and strange hats parade by at the Kentucky Derby. Wanting to make […]
Another emailed champion of an adult beverage recipe, this one from RK in Key West. As you guys explore Southern cocktails you need to include the Dark and Stormy on your list. I’m no cocktail historian but this originated in Bermuda and is traditionally made with Gosling’s Black Seal rum (aka the dark), Gosling’s being […]
Dang it, we love it when good ideas keep rolling in to share with the Chi Wulff tribe. Try this recipe for Guide Boat Ginger Mojitos from Captain GM working out of New Orleans – I had a client bring a mess of these with him a few years ago and I wouldn’t let him […]
Without a doubt we fall into the pretty-damned-unsophisticated camp when it comes to most adult libations. Probably influenced by lifelong exposures to (and our enthusiastic embrace of) the cuisine of the southwest (unabashedly including Tex-Mex) we tend to reach for tequila when it’s time to entertain or accompany a nice, spicy meal. Tequila is clearly […]
