Join me for my next live video in the app

Let's get into it. I've never done a live on Substack before, but I thought it would be fun and I've been wanting to do them more.

So I'm going to just tell you about a few things that I got today.

I went to Surdyks and it had been a while since I'd been there and I was glad to revisit them - on their 90th Anniversary!

They are a local store in Minneapolis and I am a big fan and I bought some things

that I wanted to tell you about.

The first one is a product that is made in Minnesota.

It's called Pommeau and it is from Milk and Honey.

And it is the most delicious like honey apple Brandy liqueur.

And what I do with it is I will pair it with whiskey or with rum.

So I might have like an ounce and a half of whiskey or an ounce and a half of rum

and then an ounce of this and I have it on the rocks and

And it's just a delightful after-dinnery type drink.

So milk and honey, I was out of it.

I was happy to see it was back on the stores.

Here is a new product that I'm excited about.

I got it because it's from Vietnam and I was just there, fun!

Song Cai the name of the gin.

They had three different kinds of these Vietnamese gins at Surdyks

And I happened to chat with one of the folks there and they said this one was their favorite.

So I have not tried it yet, but can you see how pretty the bottle is inside it?

It just looks amazing.

So I'm going to go ahead and give this a try.

I think I'll, it's floral gins are kind of good with tonic or with club soda.

So I'm excited about trying that.

I will report back.

Something that is not alcohol, but I do have two of those left too.

It is Ryze Mushroom Coffee

This is something that I'm nervous about.

Now they say that mushrooms are super good for you.

And I absolutely believe that, but

Could this product replace like my love of coffee or is it just like another thing

to give you more of a wellness supplement?

There's 2000 milligrams of mushrooms in here, which is a lot.

So what you do with it,

and I haven't done it yet,

is you apparently take a tablespoon of this and then eight to 10 ounces of hot or

cold water and you can ice it if you want to or hot.
