Bulbous Project: still playing with bulb options, but happy to finally have my custom chandelier in. Walnut-stained box with cloth cord, porcelain sockets and both vintage bulbs and ikea cfls.
We Made it! Four Chord Kitchen's Vegetarian Miso Ramen. Two and a half hours of cook-time for two people, three grocery stores, two asian specialty stores produced four bowls of delicious ramen; two of which were made vegan with alternate noodles & lack of egg. Thanks to Brett for another killer recipe.

I can't believe I'm selling these. Make them yours.
I made THE BEST AND EASIEST (SERIOUSLY) MAC AND CHEESE YOU'VE EVER MADE, using Brett's magic powder, Sodium Citrate. It's delicious, and the house didn't blow up when I used it; win-win.
**I've got the power!** 8+ years later this shed finally has power again and a sick repurposed barn light as well. Thanks to Greener Landscapes for burying my new line & Dave Jackson for finding my short. My projects finally have a a place to live. (via Photo by hugel • Instagram)

Making a Negroni with Buzz Andersen
Buzz Andersen (buzz on Elixr) graciously chatted with me (Marc) about his love of cocktails. I know a lot more about consuming cocktails than making them, and I suspect some other Elixr members are in the same boat. So, I asked Buzz to take us through how to make a simple cocktail that uses basic ingredients and tools we may already own. He chose the Negroni.
Ingredients
- Gin
- Campari
- Sweet vermouth
- Ice
- Orange peel as garnish
Equipment
- Mixing glass
- Bar spoon or stirrer of some sort
- Strainer
- Drinking glass (a cocktail glass to serve up, or an old-fashioned glass to serve on the rocks)
- Knife or peeler
Steps
- Pour 1 oz. each of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth into the mixing glass.
- Add ice to the mixing glass.
- Gently stir the contents of the mixing glass for 20 seconds.
- Pour the contents of the mixing glass through the strainer into the drinking glass. If serving in an old-fashioned glass, add fresh ice to the old-fashioned glass before straining.
- Garnish the drink with a slice of orange peel made using a knife or peeler.
- Enjoy!
Buzz also notes that if you get into making the Negroni often, a pinch of salt to the mixing glass can soften the edge of the Campari and thus improve the drink.
Apologies that my part of the audio has a ring to it. I need to invest in a good microphone. But, Buzz sounds great and I learned a lot, including the difference between a shaker and jigger!
The Negroni photos were kindly taken by Buzz.
Love the content Marc is experimenting with for Elixr, I'd listen to these all day.
