Archive for the ‘All American Alcohol experiment’ Categorylittle hound sniffing a local (backyard) pepper Part of the purpose of Hounds in the Kitchen is to advocate for local foods and local eating. ‘Local‘ is subjective and prone to green-washing as are so many other terms. With the advent of Local Foods Week coming soon (see below), now is a good time to [...] In late 2007 we decided to start a blog about All American Alcohols. It was our resolution to drink only american made spirits for 2008. The resolution only lasted until April, and the blog petered our in May.

We believe that drinkers should designate a sober driver when needing transportation to and from [...] One of our rules is that what is in our liquor cabinet at the beginning of the year is fair game for drinking, even if it is foreign. Here is everything we start with, with links provided for the unusual or highly recommended: Tools:The Little Black Book of Cocktails by Virginia ReynoldsCocktail shakerSelection of shot [...] We were talking about alcohol ingredients last night. Should we find the source of all ingredients in every beverage? In a bottle of beer, even one made in Ohio, there could be hops from England or spices from the Carribean.
