Dinner was going to be something creative, but instead I made a couple salmon/provolone wraps. Tonight I will cook something. Breakfast yesterday was Greek yogurt, honey, banana, and peanut butter. YUMMMM!!!

I know what you are thinking.... honey on tomato? Yes, and it was great!  And of course my Daddy loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches! Me too.
 
 
 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

Hot Buttered Rum Day


Hot Buttered Rum History

A cocktail made with boiling water, sugar and spices is traditionally referred to as a "toddy," and made with whiskey or sherry. Warm alcoholic beverages such as glogg, mulled wine and toddies originated in Northern Europe, where beer, cider, wine and spirits were mulled with sugar and spices to add some cheer to cold winter days.
Hot buttered rum is a toddy (specifically, a rum toddy). Toddies can be made of any spirit—bourbon, brandy, tequila, Scotch and other whiskeys are popular.
Hot buttered rum was a favorite in Colonial America.  Rum is a New World spirit, made of molasses, a by-product of sugar refining. Distilleries in the Colonies were making rum from the molasses by the 1650s, and “hot buttered rum” joined the toddies and nogs of English tradition (a nog is a beverage made of beaten eggs).
Hot buttered rum is traditionally made with dark rum, which has been aged in oak barrels to develop a deeper, molasses flavor. You can use light rum or spiced rum for a milder or spicier flavor, respectively. Dark rums can also be drunk straight.
You may see photos of, or recipes for, creamy toddies, which add cream or ice cream to the basic recipe. These are new interpretations, not traditional toddies, which were not cream beverages.

Hot Buttered Rum Recipe


Ingredients Per Serving
  • 1 small slice unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1 pinch each allspice, ground cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, as desired
  • 2-3 ounces dark rum
  • Boiling water
  • Optional garnish: cinnamon stick, lemon wheel, star anise
Preparation
  1. Place the butter, sugar and spices in an Irish coffee glass, glass mug
    or other mug. Cream together (muddle).

  3. Add an equal amount of boiling water. Stir well.
  4. Garnish as desired. Serve immediately.
If the drink is too strong for your liking, add more boiling water.
