Episode 81 - Week of May 20 2018


On this episode: The roads less traveled


Get your motor running, whether it's gasoline or electric, and head out on the highway, or in my case State Route 542. AJ and I share some worthwhile jaunts to take when ya just wanna get outta town for a spell or just take a weekend cruise. PLUS... an award-winning photographer strikes again, Stay tuned, y'all. This is the Bellingham Podcast

Favorite Summer Time drink...that isn't Coffee

* Chris; a Thai Basil (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1012605-thai-basil-bliss) cocktail... When you want a refreshing drink-drink
* Crush basil leaves and pineapple chunks. Add this to a shaker with some ice. Drizzle some simple syrup, a couple shots of tequila (depending on how bad your day was), and add a squirt of lime juice. Shake it, don't break it, and strain it into your glass. #Consume
* AJ; San Pellegrino (http://www.sanpellegrino.com/us/en)+ Pok Pok Som (https://pokpoksom.com/)
* “Pok Pok Som drinking vinegar is a refreshingly sweet and tart, fruit and vinegar-based beverage handcrafted in Portland, Oregon using quality US-made organic cane vinegar and fresh whole fruits, herbs and spices – no artificial flavoring.”


Head East... And North

Chris - Everson-Goshen Road, Head east on SR542 on the Mt. Baker highway
New Grounds Espresso (https://www.facebook.com/NewGroundsEspresso/) - at the Smith Road roundabout
Enjoy the farmland and Wide Open Spaces. Also enjoy the lack of stoplights and traffic.
Turn left on Van Dyk road, enjoy Samson Estates Winery (http://www.samsonestates.com/home) - Ever had a Chocolate WIne Truffle (http://www.samsonestates.com/chocolate-wine-truffles/)?
