With #NYCC gearing up I get to see a bunch of amazing @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social artists that we work with and hang out not-on-a-Zoom with them like @steveellisart.com and Fred Harper. Missed a couple of pics with folks earlier today but gonna be more diligent from here on out.

Afterglow — Coconut rum, Campari, Lychee Soho and acid-adjusted and clarified mango juice with some Pychaud’s bitters. A Cataclysm cocktail for the #dogsearmenu

Another John D. MacDonald homage for the #dogsearmenu inspired by the flavors of a piña colada. A Deadly Shade of Gold — Coconut rum, Lychee Soho, and clarified, malic acid-adjusted roasted pineapple juice, and a dash of MSG solution.

I am very excited that we have started working on @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social comics but I have to pitch stories just like everyone else. I just want to write a cozy cat murder mystery but Catawampi is always, always, ALWAYS the killer(s).

I remember discovering Joe Kubert through the DC war comics collection (that I still own and is shelved next to the Marvel Origins books and the DC Mysteries in Soace collections). His stuff commanded your attention on every page. And there were a lot of heavyweights in that book alongside him

That’s a wrap on The Cleveland Gaming Expo. Great show. Great time meeting new and existing fans of @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social but I am ready to be home.

En route to the Cleveland Gaming Classic where we will be hosting @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social demos, running roguelike league play, and I will be hosting a talk about making games. Come by and say hello if you are around!

I am here to chew some bubblegum and make some cocktails. And I am all out of bubblegum… because I used it to make a bubblegum simple syrup for The Body. A tart watermelon bubblegum cocktail on the #dogsearmenu

The Phantom Flight — a Paper Plane variant for when you want to see your friend but no flights go to wherever they are now. Bourbon, Cointreau, Aperol and clarified acid-adjusted Clementine juice. #dogsearmenu

I love this drink. Bright, colorful, acidic and dry all at the same time. Rumble Tumble — Gin, Lillet Rose, Lychee Soho, and acid-adjusted, clarified strawberry water. #dogsearmenu

I am mildly obsessed with using pectinex to turn fruit puree into a gem clear fruit waters. Have used it on tomatillos, peaches and most beautifully on strawberries so far. Bright colors on the #dogsearmenu

Award-worthy performances in Hulu’s FURIOUS up and down the call sheet but Quincy Tyler Bernstine just turns in a scorcher in every single scene she is in.

This was a fun watch but only if you like Taken meets Point Blank but with a dash of Terminator?

Nightmare in Pink — a hibiscus martini for the #dogsearmenu Vodka, Lychee SoHo, Lillet Rose, and acid-adjusted hibiscus tea. Like the book it looks like it should be a light summer bit of froth but is actually dry, deceptively strong, and makes you want more.

Going to be at the Cleveland Gaming Classic in a couple of weeks to showcase @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social and toasting that with a new cocktail that I thought would be taller. Escape from New York — Bourbon, Licor 43, and lemon. Now streaming on the #dogsearmenu

Guy ahead of me on line brought a Tupperware and asked “how much to fill this up with chocolate soft serve?” They settled on the price equivalent of four large cups and ice cream guy threw in four free waffle cones.

The Right Madness — a clarified watermelon enzoni that is worthy of a James Crumley pairing on the #dogsearmenu Gin, Suze, St. Germaine, and citric acid adjusted watermelon juice over a watermelon rock.

Has anyone else noticed that people have forgotten how to handle cash? I paid for a drink with a $20 bill and the cashier had to count out $17 in change five different times.

Had a bunch of leftover produce from the weekend. Not enough of any one thing to do much with. Whipped up some pico de gallo with watermelon understudying for tomatoes, jicama, jalapeño, scallions, cilantro, bell pepper, lime and a little agave. Gonna make this again.

A relic from the heyday of the NJ Magic scene. Could apply to Psychatog or pastrami memories.

Playing around with garnishes and ended up with a Lansdale-inspired Rusty Puppy for the #dogsearmenu Gin, Lychee Soho. Lillet Rose, citric acid-adjusted watermelon juice, coriander simple syrup and a splash of preserved lemon brine.
