The Men Behind Your Favorite Liquor Brands
It’s hard to walk down the aisle of a liquor store without running across a bottle bearing someone’s name. We put them in our cocktails, but how well do we know them? Here’s some biographical detail on the men behind your favorite tipples. —- by Ethan Trex
1. Captain Morgan
The Captain wasn’t always just the choice of sorority girls looking to blend spiced rum with Diet Coke; in the...

Attention Handsome Hubs!!! I Wanna Futuristic...
Futuristic Transforming Dining Room Table-and-Chairs Set
For now it is simply a design, but there is very little preventing this futuristic dining room table-and-chairs furniture set from becoming a present-day reality. The pieces fit neatly together and a simple pneumatic system would make the central lift possible – providing a cosmetic overhang that doubles as a central light...

Question...What's the last restaurant you visited?...
FBS: Last Night we went to The Cheesecake Factory at The Coco Walk in Miami, FL. to celebrate one of our private little anniversary date. Our server was an incompetent ass clown with chronic halitosis. But we still remained courteous and left a fair tip.
My Big Gorgeous ordered an outstanding BBQ pulled pork sandwich while I had some faux Baja fish taco fuckery. Their red sangria was better than expected. We both adored our desserts. Booboo got an Oreo cheesecake and I got the turtle cheesecake. The platter of nachos that Big Sexy made for lunch today totally kicked The Cheesecake Factory's Ass!Lol
=======================================================================
FBS: The Hubs, and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in my hometown of Etowah, TN which is about 15 miles away from the Cracker Barrel in Athens, TN .My Mom invited us out to eat with her and the Womack family; who are our best friends from Miracle Deliverance Tabernacle. We had to wait a while to be seated, but it was worth it since we were given a fantastic window seat in the main family room with the fireplace. My only regret was that we had to leave our doggie Biscotti at home; but I had enough food left to bring him a doggy bag of macaroni and cheese.Yaay! For some reason, the majority of Athens,TN businesses and restaurants are not doggy friendly, at all. Our lovely waitress, --who was an even prettier version of Mila Kunis was wonderful. She was so detailed and efficient that she repeated everyone's individual order upon receiving it and then promptly re-verified the entire group's order before turning it in to the kitchen. Before our main course arrived; we all polished off like 2 baskets of heavenly buttered biscuits with apple butter and assorted jams/jellies. Mommy Adella Bella, Shawna Womack, Bobby, and I ALL ordered the Cracker Barrel sampler which consists of chicken and dumplings, meatloaf, a choice of city or country ham, with a whopping 3 side dishes. My chosen sides were fried apples, macaroni and cheese, and the turnip greens which had these delicious savory chunks of smoked meat in it. Absolutely to die for, or better yet--to LIVE for! Sue Bee Womack and her adorable grandson Dylan had breakfast with fried eggs, sausage patties and pancakes. Dylan's big brother Logan enjoyed the child's portion of macaroni and cheese as a main dish. But sadly, NOONE can recall what Sue Bee's husband David Womack ordered simply because it disappeared off his plate within seconds. We then "over-shopped" at the general store while paying our separate bills. This is hands-down everyone in our group's favorite after-church service eatery! Absolutely no complaints because we all left happy and full as ticks. Bobby and I can't wait to come back!:) So 5 stars it is......
======================================================================
FBS: Last night was a family night out. We specifically targeted only pet-friendly establishments that were within walking distance of our house; since we brought our dog Biscotti along. First stop was:
920 Grill
Categories: Argentine, Steakhouses
920 Lincoln Rd
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 674-9696
We didn't dine there,we only had drinks. The hubs and I both ordered 2 rounds of the $5 mojitos for the happy hour special. They were sooo good.We will definitely be back for steaks and drinks next time.
Stop #2 was:
5 Napkin Burger
Category: Burgers
455 Lincoln Rd
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 538-2277
We had dinner here. I had the Burger Salad, and my guy had the Bacon Cheeseburger. The food was good but nothing spectacular. It was more like a 2,5- 3 Napkin deal. The prices and the aloof service does not merit 5 napkins IMO. We'll probably be back sometime in the future for takeout if the mood arises; But no hurry.
Last Stop was:
Lush South Beach
Category: Dive Bars
233 12th St
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 801-8301
We wanted to hit one more place before we headed back home. We stopped into one of our favorite dive bars for beer and pool. Nice crowd of locals on a Tuesday night. Very friendly staff and regulars. I had an Abita Purple Haze beer, while Big Gorgeous had a Red Stripe.

Question...Do you or your Big Sexy like sushi?...

Recipe for a Hipster Thanksgiving
Posted by Julia Bainbridge | Bonappetite
Hipsters don’t eat turkey. Turkey is for people who live in Oklahoma. Turkey is played out. So forget it; you need to find something else to make this holiday cool. Where do we turn for the latest in not-lame food ideas? Brooklyn. Obviously. Ask Alice Waters, ask Alan Richman, ask the Bon Appetit Foodist;...
