Caramel application was a bit messy for me, and I only had the phone to grab a shot of the interior when it came time to serve it, but this was well-received.

heading out to see a play with my wife. This is a variation called &#34;Eeyore&#39;s Requiem&#34;, which the creator says was inspired by &#34;the most bitter character in literature&#34;. Ups the ante with the addition of a bit of Cynar and Fernet Branca. Very tasty.<br/><br/>(Also, since I&#39;m mixing this at home, tossed a ducat or two at the Slow Food Foundation, which a participating bar would have done.)<br/><br/>#drinks #photography #cocktail #tastybeverage<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/179/266/357/681/144/original/362bc60920e80938.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-22T04:25:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyend4n73urwtwngezqhzhw6z2qa8sfkma9etpm4l2tqce983p3tczyqz9urqlxt4acjswypj8rzeud557h7t4s0tmwy9pk67lsdemmf946xlslfa Small Copper butterfly snacking on goldenrod at @dnrt_org&#39;s Ocean View Farm in Dartmouth, MA.<br/><br/>#insects #wildlife #nature #dartmouth #massachusetts #wildmassachusetts #naturalmassachusetts #massachusettswildlife<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/172/947/125/146/002/original/60c144c0c064a4c2.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-21T01:31:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst4gxz0r4w5zjqsxl2vkc7cweqf5mthxg3ku3wz2tzev7zagqne9gzyqz9urqlxt4acjswypj8rzeud557h7t4s0tmwy9pk67lsdemmf946202guj Clouded Sulphur moth on what I think is an alfalfa flower.<br/><br/>#insects #wildlife #nature #halifax #massachusetts #wildmassachusetts #naturalmassachusetts #massachusettswildlife<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/167/753/927/384/097/original/e8ce86c4e33fe815.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-20T03:29:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgmtfej2t2h3vn0sf7km9nctl04vqvtt9u02mmjlldujrp2l0luuszyqz9urqlxt4acjswypj8rzeud557h7t4s0tmwy9pk67lsdemmf946uxwysc No, the fish isn&#39;t leaping into his mouth.
