Welcome to episode 21! Tonight on the closing of Thanksgiving, we’re resting in our turkey comas have put away all the leftovers and are enjoying a nice hot mug of cider. What’s in that cider, you may ask? Well we’ve got Plantation Original Dark Rum and Old Granddad’s Bonded Bourbon, both worthy additions to a apple-y nightcap!

We’ve also got some Twitter chatter with Dave Z ✶✶✶✶ Beer In Front Podcast (@BeerInFront) and F**k My Work Life (@fmwlpod) on making beer, Malort or White Claw gummies!

    The question of the day is “What are the best party games for the holidays?” What’s going to keep everyone engaged and having fun? Is it an old school classic game like Pictionary or Cranium, or something new like The Chameleon? Could it be something hectic and crazy like Spaceteam or a lower key (and lower volume) game like Whoonu?

    Welcome to episode 20, where we try 3 Floyds Daiquiris and kittens in blenders for dessert!

    Wait.

    Let me rephrase. Welcome to episode 20, where we drink 3 Floyds Barnabus Lime Daiquiri (still not as good as a Hemmingway), and talk about the card game Kittens in a Blender and what are the best Thanksgiving desserts! Much better, kinda.

    Meeples & Wine 19 – Food Games & More Mead!

    By |

    Tonight we discuss tabletop games that have a theme of food! Thanksgiving is just a couple days away and we’ve gotten our baking needs bought, well, except for heavy cream. I don’t care if it’s grass fed, organic, only got sun from the west, the name of the cow was “Loretta”, I’m not paying $6.50 for a pint of cream. – Michael. We’re sipping Chaucer’s Mead (with the spice bag) hot tonight, so we’ll see where that takes us, it’s from Bargetto Winery by the way. But on to the games! Food themes is where we’re at, and we’ve already talked about Sushi GO!, so that’s off the table. Point Salad isn’t though, and toss that in with some others like Turkey Day!

    CREAMED ONIONS…yeah

    Welcome to Meeples & Wine! Tonight Michael and Suzy talk about Flat Top Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2018, a light “not as citrus as they describe” wine that still was pretty good.

Also, a super cool badge goes to Dave C. out at Blubrry, for getting things fixed up for us to keep posting through #napodpomo!
