Jill's theme is: Bourbon Night - BYOB!

A message from Jill: In ordinary times, I would host a Bourbon night with a tasting of several spirits and a discussion of the merits of each, followed by some tasty supper - maybe Bourbon sloppy joes with cheddar cheese and pickled onions. But we will make do with a virtual meet up. So IF you are a Bourbon fan, have a favorite bottle or cocktail on hand and share your thoughts and enthusiasm with us. Why is it your go to choice? What brought you to Bourbon? What recipes have you tried (if any) that work with this spirit? If you are NOT a Bourbon fan, join in anyway! Any drink will do. Obviously we will move on to the topics of the day: how we are all surviving; what we have learned from this pandemic; best reading (a most subjective question) for this period; and the most binge worthy TV we have each discovered. And anything else you want to discuss! See you later in the summer. Cheers!
