Remind me to tell you about the time that I, fresh from the shower and in a mad rush to get out the door early in the morning, attempted to iron a shirt without bothering to put on my underwear. My blistery bris!
So last week at my volunteer gig, a friend mentioned my Substack and someone asked what it was about. Since I've never been able to answer that question, I just told her about this post and remarked on the John Daly. She said, "Wait, I've got a photo of him on my phone. Hold on..."
I friend had sent her a photo of him with Daly, who looked a bit off his rocker, which was apparently the correct assessment.
Agree on the day drinking. Only exception has been at an all inclusive resort in Cabo San Lucas, and the entire family (for a wedding) had margaritas from 10:00 AM on. I was done by 1:00 PM.
Just bought some "Simply" Peach drink. Will try it with iced tea although I don't think the syrup can be beat.
Had a Peach Palmer at a New Orleans restaurant once, and I now make them at home all the time. Just iced tea with Real peach syrup - no alcohol. I know, where is the fun in that? Gradually got used to ordering sweet tea when in the South, and it sure can vary. Best was from the St. Roch Market.
Fully loved this. Even the title just made me smile. And palmiers are some of my favorites. But I am unlikely to try these since, like my iced tea and my lemonade, I prefer them without additions. Oh ok, maybe some gin and muddled mint in my lemonade come summer, but that’s a whole different beverage!
Honestly, I never saw the point of taking two perfectly lovely beverages and mixing them together. It always tasted artificial, like Nestea or something. But the combo works in a cookie. Probably because it's super subtle.
I am definitely trying this recipe. I discovered chocolates with earl grey ganache at Maison du Chocolate in NY (called a 'Yoko', I believe) and they were my favorite until I came upon lime-infused ganache (at Alain Ducasse? or maybe Jacques Genin). That was a tangent, except that you should have some chocolate. We should all have some chocolate.
I loved palmiers growing up and smoked out the kitchen more than once when I made them. Buttery, crunchy, that whiff of dangerously dark caramelized sugar. *swoon*
I shall roll mine into phallus shapes in honor of their namesake.
Just keep an eye on your baking time. I'd hate for you to burn the tip.

What I really want to know is why your valet wasn’t doing the ironing.
What a perfect recipe and memory trail for the day.
I think I need a John Daly with my late bfast today.

It's a strange world we live in.

I consider the drinking of margaritas in Cabo to be basically a sacrament.

I think the addition of peach syrup sounds delightful. And better without booze because I am a lousy day drinker.

I'll take any recipe with a pro golfer theme. I once met Gary Player and I'd eat his boerewors any day.
Well that's bound to put the springbok in your step, for sure.

They're called Yoko? Do they emit disturbing screams when bitten and/or break up creative working relationships?
The screams might be mine. And can she help it if she's that delicious?
She is an acquired taste for sure.
These look absolutely delicious.
They do not suck.

I've smoked out a kitchen our two in my day, but that usually resulted in me being too stoned for baking.
Cue "Smoke two joints"
Have you been spending time in tearooms again, Mr. P?
Have you been skipping your meds again, Mr. L?
No, Mr. P. Not skipping, per se. I just opened up the window and threw them all out. There are some pretty psycho squirrels in our backyard right now.
Now that is what I call wildlife.
Touché.
