Notes from a newb after my first batch of this lovely concoction.
I could fit 6 pineapple rings on a half sheet pan and setting the oven to convection was enough to char the rings nicely after flipping at 30 minutes.
you'll have 14-18 drinks worth of the coconut de leche and 8 drinks worth at most of the pineapple syrup so either double the syrup and drink it often or know you'll remake that.
The leche isn't pourable at fridge temperature, you'll want to take it out a couple hours before making these or fiddle around with the bottle under a hot water tap.
This recipe is 4.5 oz + dilution, it's smaller than most pina coladas so use a smaller glass. Was only like 75% of my mai tai glass full of crushed ice. To scale it up I went 2.75 rum, 1.5 leche, 1.5 pina syrup, .75 lime. For your own selves this is a handy calculator and select 25% dilution near the bottom, https://www.batchcalc.com/

Good Caturday morning to everyone! Today I have the story of Alabasterβs first climb up the catwall. Alabaster came to us in March. He was a rescue who had, at some point been socialized, but had been living in the wild for an extended time. When he arrived at the shelter where Bot Junior volunteers, he was badly mauled, requiring stitches in three different places. He was underweight and infested with fleas. They stitched him up and fixed him, chipped him, and waited for him to recover before offering him for adoption. But a wound on the top of his head didnβt heal, so the vet opened it up and discovered a claw embedded under the skin. After that, he began his journey back to good health. We started with him staying in Bot Jrβs room, so the others could smell him, and get used to the idea of a new family member.
It has been very problematic getting our existing three beasts to accept him. In the beginning Bagheera was fine with him, but the girls were hissy and growling. Over time, the girls slowly accepted him. Bagheera also accepted him, but a serious problem developed. Since theyβre cats, zoomies chasing each other are a regular occurrence. Bagheeraβs a 17 1/2 pound battle chonk, and Alabasterβs life before chez Bot means heβs afraid of being beat up.
So Alabaster mostly stays in Bot Jrβs room. He only comes downstairs when Bot Jr is there, and mostly hangs out on the couch.
In three months, heβs never climbed the catwall, although he has watched the others do so since his arrival.
Finally, this week, after scratching on the cat post, which is also the launch pad to the cat wall, he climbed up to the top of the post, then ventured onto the catwall for the first time. He made it to the spot where he could look at Belle on top of the antique bookcase, then moved back to the hammock. We were so proud of him!
BTW, speaking of birds, when I was a kid we had a book called Birds of Kansas, several hundred pages and basically like an early field guide. When I asked my mom where we got it she explained when she was in high school in the early 50's all you had to do was write to the state and they would send you a copy free, postage paid.
I was thinking it was published by either K State or KU but I could be wrong. To tell the truth I'm obsessing about finding a copy now so I'll contact both Universities soon and see what they know about it.
The Trump-nominated judge who taught the class, John L. Badalamenti, declined to comment for this article, and does not appear to have publicly discussed why he chose Mr. Damsky for the award.
I am not a law student, but there's a fundamental flaw in his paper. If Constitutional protections only apply to white people, and the government says you're not white, how do you prove otherwise? You're not obligated to a hearing, after all, unless you're white.
I feel so bad for Belgians. Why are they treated like the ginger stepchild? Belgium was my first stop in mainland Europe and locals took care of me in the loveliest way. I also happened to arrive right before their national day and enjoyed shitty cherry wine and amazing cheese I made the mistake of traveling with. I went on to Amsterdam and Cinque terre in Italy and then Prague.
As bad as that is, it still implies some standard that can be checked - which requires some hearing to check against it. But if absolutely none of the Constitution applies to those who arenβt white, then itβs entirely, unmistakably arbitrary.
Big tournament today. No idea how busy weβll be. Questions here.
That looks like a mighty fine drink. Have you ever featured it at the country club, Mr. Hooper?
I think you left that cocktail unattended for too long, seems some birds have nested in it.
Opportunists.
Ha Ha Ha Matt Hooper! It's the 50th Anniversary of Jaws! My question is: What kind of shark could do this to a person?
Not a nurse shark, that's fer shur.
Good for what ails ya. And you were correct, a bazillion calories.
I'm sure the drink is delicious, but just reading the ingredients makes my teeth hurt from so much sugar. Only a little dab of lime juice?
Pina Coladas are inherently unbalanced; add lime to taste.
I bet you can add more lime to taste
Who woulda thunk?
lol
I beat our great mixologist
XD
TBF, he might be answering while working.
Very true
:-)
Just started sprinkling in Cleveland Heights, so look for an uptick in business.
Full-contact cornhole?
I mean, you Americans would probably insist on wearing armour, like in your weird mutant form of rugby. :P
I thought Cornholing was by definition full contact.
True. ^^^^^THIS!^^^^
That game where people toss bean bags around is more aptly named "Waste Time".
Not my bag, but you kids enjoy yourselves.
Donβt be silly. Whist.
Disc golf?
B. Franklin Memorial Kite Fighting. Steel wires make cloudy weather ... adventurous.

Quidditch?
yes
When I drank I was always Steve.

Trump Complains He Should Have Won FIVE Nobel Prizes By Now But βThey Only Give Them To Liberalsβ
Leftists: Biden is a selfish egotistical narcissist for running for reelection! He should have never run for reelection!
Medicine: Bleach cure for COVID-45
Literature: Collected Social Media Posts
Physics: Golfing
Chemistry: Invention of "Clean Beautiful Coal"
Peace: Peace in Ukraine
What Nobel Prizes does Trump think he should have won?
A. O. T., K.
I'd imagine his base would realize what a butthurt whiny ass titty baby he is by now.
MAGAmasculinity (((shudder)))

Much of his base are also butthurt whiny ass titty babies as well.
Nah ..., his base listens to the whining and thinks "Yep, he's a fighter..."

Anyone SEEN her, or is she by chance β οΈπ»?
"Typhoid Barbie" has a nice ring to it...
She's obviously genetically and immunologically inferior, unlike RFQ. I mean, have you seen him with his shirt off?
Far more often than I would ever want to.

Also I'm not showing my cats that pic. They do seem quite attached to me, but I'm not taking any chances. Seriously, you're the best cat brad.
That's great news! He's beautiful! Thank you for helping him.
Love love love your cat wall. Alabaster is a fine addition to the family.
That's one gorgeous cat! π And what a cool wall!!!
What a guy! What a loving home!
What a pretty beastie!
What a brave sweetie pie!!!!!!!!!

Everything came from Pueblo, Colorado in those days.
I remember all those ads about Pueblo, Colorado!

U. of Florida law student got an award for being the top student in a class to which he had submitted a paper arguing that the Constitution is only for White people (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/us/white-supremacist-university-of-florida-paper.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Qk8.Wuh-.LLDp4LO8_XQe&smid=url-share). Said student also subsequently was spewing massively racist and anti-Semitic content on X. That got him suspended. So, U. of Florida, is he a good boy, or a bad boy?
because another corrupt Trump judge

When we've reached that point, the answer is, the government decides.
How many drops of blood til you're not white anymore? Which kinds of Europeans count as white now?
Everyone except the Irish and Hungarians.
