We also did the pizza with the overnight proof, served with a Caprese salad. Sorry, I can't find the original thread with the recommendation/recipe. Pretty easy and tasted great. It helps to have a 50-year-old cast iron skillet. Also fixed my wife's biggest gripe when I have made homemade pizza in the past: She says they aren't round, they are "Ameba shaped";). Thanks for the recipe. I'll make this again.
 
Seriously. Cooking, drinking and eating with family and friends on a weekend is one of my favorite things to do. I can’t wait until this pandemic is behind us. For today I present to you a simple meal lol

I thought the same thing at first, but the manager of my local Specs Liquor store (Joe) said it's a very popular item and sells out fast. Naturally I bought 10 bottles of something I hadn't tried before. I trusted him because we also talked about sushi and he seemed to have similar taste. It's a really good draft sake you can drink every day. At roughly $6 a bottle it's really affordable too. The can is easy to transport and there's a lid you can put back on if you don't finish the can right away. It's such a small bottle though I can't see myself keeping part of it for later.

They also have higher quality stuff that comes in a glass bottle. The one below was $50. I didn't know this before but they classify sake as wine so if your local place gives you a 10% discount or more for buying 6 bottles of wine or more, it also works on sake. It makes sense, I just never thought of it I suppose.

I think 3 maybe 4 cans would fit in a SFRB :D

Sadly, the liquor laws in Tennessee are atrocious.

I learned a few things when we attempted to buy a wine/liquor store about 15 years ago...
  • Tennessee is a dry state. However, if individual counties choose to be wet, they may sell alcohol. However, by default, it is a dry state.
  • Some individual counties (including the one where I was looking to buy) are dry - again by default. However, the county will allow a individual cities within it to become wet.
  • Even though the state is dry, they have restrictions on any alcohol sales. One of those restrictions include distributors. As in, a store can only purchase from one of two distributors OK'ed by the state. From what I can tell, the OK comes on the heels of a huge political contribution. It certainly does follow in the wake of "great selection". Therefore, getting something less common is near impossible. There are liquors that we now travel out of state to get, because we can't get them here anymore - because neither of the two distributors carry it.

While Indiana is a "wet" state, we also fall victim to state approved distributors. We call it the Beer Baron laws. I don't know how many state sanctioned monopolies we have but we definitely suffer in the selection category as a result.
