This Weekend in Hedonism

  • Cheryl’s Recipe Corner
    • Mom’s Macaroni Salad
    • Description:
      • My mother made this macaroni salad for any BBQ, outdoor holiday (like Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) and since yesterday was the 4th of July in the US, it seemed like the perfect time to drag out this recipe and dust it off.  Everyone loved this salad, except for me because of being a super picky eater growing up.  BUT, when I got older, I discovered it was very tasty, and now folks request that I make it for get-togethers.
    • Ingredients
      • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
      • 4 large hard boiled eggs, (3 chopped; 1 sliced for garnish)
      • 1 cup finely diced onion (any type of onion is fine, red adds color, though!)
      • 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
      • 1 cup diced red bell pepper (optional)
      • 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (or chopped sweet pickles)
      • 2 cups creamy salad dressing (Miracle Whip or mayonnaise; I grew up with mom using Miracle Whip, but it’s still very good just using Mayo)
      • 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
      • ¾ cup white sugar (less if you’re using Miracle Whip, which is already very sweet)
      • 2 ¼ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
      • ¼ teaspoon salt
      • ¾ teaspoon celery seed
      • Paprika
    • Directions
      • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
      • Add elbow macaroni and cook for 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain, and set aside to cool. (do not rinse!)
      • In a large bowl, combine macaroni, eggs, onion, celery and red bell pepper.
      • In a small bowl, whisk together the salad dressing, pickle relish, mustard, white sugar, vinegar, salt and celery seed. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
      • Cover and chill for at least 1 hour (overnight is better).  Lay egg slices on top and sprinkle with Paprika before serving
    • Notes:
      • If you’re not a fan of fresh celery, leave it out… but definitely use celery seed to give it that celery boost (it makes the salad).
      • The diced red peppers are optional as well, but it does add color and texture.  I don’t typically use them… but green will work just as well, if you want to have peppers in the salad.
      • I always add a splash of sweet pickle juice to my salad, and typically leave out the sugar (I do taste-test as I’m making the dressing, to make sure that the sugar level is appropriate; you want it sweet, but not “candy sweet”)
      • Dijon mustard can also be used, but I like using the bright yellow mustard.
      • If you’re not familiar with Miracle Whip, it’s a sweet version of Mayo.  Russ hated Miracle Whip (and I have grown out of wanting it on sandwiches and such, partially because I didn’t buy it due to Russ’s dislike), so mayo is perfectly fine to use.  BUT, you will want to add a bit of sugar to the mayo to help get the dressing to an appropriate sweetness.
  • Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner
    • Blueberry Mojito
    • Description:
      • Summer calls for refreshing drinks, and this is one of my favorites!
    • Ingredients
      • 1 1/4 cups blueberries (about 8 ounces) 
      • 1/4 cup sugar
      • 1/4 cup mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
      • 2 limes, quartered
      • 1 cup silver rum
      • 1 cup sparkling water 
    • Directions
      • In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of the blueberries, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, and 2 tablespoons water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, breaking up the blueberries with a potato masher or wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and press through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
      • In a large pitcher, muddle the mint leaves and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar with a muddler or wooden spoon until the mint is bruised and fragrant and the sugar starts to dissolve. Add the lime wedges and continue muddling until the limes are juiced. Stir in the blueberry syrup, rum, and sparkling water. 
      • Divide the remaining blueberries among 4 tall glasses. Fill them with ice and pour in the blueberry mojitos. Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint.
    • Notes:
      • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this.  Or substitute any berry (Blackberry, Strawberry, Raspberry… or a mix of berries) you’d like.  No need to defrost the frozen berries, just toss them in the saucepan with the sugar and water and simmer as directed.
      • If you’d like a non-alcoholic version, leave out the rum and add more sparkling water or a lemon-lime soda (like Sprite, Starry, etc)
      • If you’re not a mint fan, you can swap with basil or lemon balm. Just don’t skip the muddling step to release all that fresh flavor.
      • If you’ve not heard the term “Silver Rum” before, it’s the clear rum you find on the shelves in the liquor store.
      • The syrup is useful for things beyond alcoholic beverages. Drizzle it over pancakes or waffles, stir it into lemonade or iced tea, or spoon it over vanilla ice cream. It also mixes nicely into yogurt or sparkling water for a fruity treat.
  • Russ’s Drink Corner (now hijacked by Cheryl - and probably occasionally by Bill!)
    • Item: Ironroot Harbinger
    • Description: The Ironroot Republic Distillery (aka Likarish Family Distillery - started by mother Marsha and sons Robert and Jonathan) first opened to the public in 2014. One of 27 distilleries (and growing) on the Texas Whiskey Trail, Ironroot utilizes heirloom corn varietals from local farms to add a unique Texas flavor to their spirits.  Harbinger is their flagship bourbon which is a cask-strength, non-chill filtered, over-proof sipping bourbon that, as their first release, was the herald of things to come at Ironroot.
    • Details:
      • Region: Distilled at Ironroot Republic/Likarish Enterprises - Denison, Texas; 
      • Info: 2018 Edition; 27 Months Aged
      • Mashbill: A mix of 90% Heirloom Texas Corns: Purple Corn, Bloody Butcher Corn, Flint Corn, non-GMO Yellow Dent Corn.  10% Texas Rye
      • ABV: 57.5% ABV/115 proof
      • Color: Dark Amber
      • Nose: Vanilla. Cooked brown sugar with a hint of Maple Syrup. Texas Corn – it’s odd, sweet/sour twang. Orange marmalade, and cherry
      • Taste: Extremely oaky.  Weird pie crust taste (bitter, almost).  Light cherry taste. Baking spices, cinnamon, cloves.  Bitter coffee (which could be affecting the pie crust taste, adding to the bitter).  Mild Rye heat, but not overwhelming.  In an odd way, it really tastes like a poorly made cherry pie (light on the cherries) with a cup of old, extremely strong coffee.  BUT, it works.
      • Finish: Short to medium length. Lingering Texas Corn. Brown sugar. Light cherry. Very slight hint of orange. Toasted Oak. Oily (the mouthfeel on this specific Bourbon is unlike others I have tried that have had an oily complexity).
      • Cost: $65 (only available in Texas, AFAIK, because they have some weird liquor laws)
      • Score: 91 - The bottle is a fair price; the taste (although odd, and not terribly smooth) is interesting - in a good way.  A drop of water did seem to cut the “funk” a bit and changed the taste profile (brought out a touch more of the orange).
      • Note: IMO, Texas is far too hot for a smooth bourbon; all of them we have tried have been “eh” to “okay” to “good”… but none have been great.  All the extreme heat does is make the whiskey over-oak far too fast before the ethanol can be tamed and the more subtle flavors of the wood and distillate can come together.  The day we visited Ironroot (July 2018) and toured the rickhouse (which was in a metal warehouse) it was UNBEARABLY hot (I think the themometer on the wall said 120 degrees).  We were only in that area about 5 minutes because it was so overwhelming.  But if the whiskey is baking in temps like that for several months out of the year (I used to live in Dallas, which is 75ish miles from Denison - Texas weather is not for the weak!), it’s going to end up producing a whiskey that has some “funk” to it.  Places like Tennessee and Kentucky have more distinct seasons… cold winters, hot summers, mild spring and fall.  Texas just tends to have varying degrees of heat… with the occasional ice storm thrown in for good measure.

This Weekend in Hedonism

  • Cheryl’s Recipe Corner
    • Chicken Paprikash
    • Description:
      • This was a fond memory of my childhood, and I’ve not eaten since I was probably 11 or 12… so I started throwing things together, came up with something very close to grandma’s recipe, and then through the power of Google I learned I had made, essentially, Chicken Paprikash. But, I did it as a one-pot meal. :-)
    • Ingredients
      • 2 cups uncooked Egg Noodles
      • 2 TBLS Butter
      • 4 Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (thighs give the most flavor; substitute if desired)
      • Paprika (Hungarian is preferred, but regular will work)
      • Salt
      • Pepper
      • Garlic Powder
      • 1 TBLS Butter
      • 1/2 Cup Chopped Onion
      • Roasted Red Peppers (optional)
      • 2 TBLS Paprika
      • 2 cups Chicken Stock
      • 2 TBLS Tomato Paste (optional; provides color more than taste)
      • 1 TBLS Cornstarch
      • 8oz Sour Cream
    • Directions
      • Bring water to a boil in a skillet and cook egg noodles (or, you can serve the dish over rice). While pasta is boiling, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and season it with paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder (amount to your preference). Set aside. Once pasta is finished cooking, drain well and wipe out pan. Place the skillet back on the stove and add 2 TBLS butter; allow to melt, then add seasoned chicken pieces. Cook for about 10 minutes, then remove to a plate; set aside. Add 1 TBLS butter to skillet, allow to melt and add chopped onion and saute until soft. Add roasted red peppers to skillet, stir to mix. Add 2 TBLS Paprika to skillet, stir to combine with onions/peppers. Add Chicken Stock and tomato paste to pan, bring to a boil. Stir cornstarch into sour cream, add mixture to skillet and mix well. Add chicken and pasta back into skillet and simmer until warmed through.
    • Notes:
      • You can use Cream Cheese instead of sour cream. This will make the sauce thicker, so there is no need for the cornstarch.
      • Tomato paste is optional. It adds very little flavor to the dish, but DOES add the dark red coloring that is usually associated with Paprikash.
      • If you’re using standard paprika (what you’d typically pick up at the grocery store), you’ll need more and need to boost it with Cayenne Pepper - 1/8 teaspoon for every tablespoon standard paprika (if you’re not into spicy food, just sprinkle a tiny bit and taste to adjust the spice level as you go. Hungarian Paprika, depending on the version, can be VERY spicy)
      • Because I literally threw this together, you may want to add some seasonings to the sauce mixture; my chicken was heavily seasoned before I cooked it, so additional seasonings weren’t needed. But, I also taste-test as I go and adjust as needed.
      • I used Garlic powder with this, as “Jarlic” (the new name for jarred minced garlic) tends to be bitter… and since I was trying to recreate a recipe from 40+ years ago, I wanted to try to make it close to what my grandmother made (and Jarlic" didn’t exist back then). If you would like to use “Jarlic”, I would suggest adding a TINY bit of sugar, a little bit of melted butter and ONLY stir it in over the last minute or two of simmering (just long enough to get warm).
  • Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner
    • Blueberry Lemonade
    • Description:
      • A refreshing mix of blueberries, lemonade and vodka
    • Ingredients
      • 1 cup of blueberries (frozen work fine)
      • 1/2 cup of sugar
      • 1/8 tsp of salt
      • 1/2 cup of lemon juice
      • 2 cups water
      • Vodka
    • Directions
      • Place blueberries, sugar, salt, lemon juice and water into blender and blend well. Place ice in glass, add 2oz Vodka (or Rum, if preferred) and top with lemonade mixture
    • Notes:
      • Taste lemonade mixture once blended; if it’s not sweet enough, either add more sugar and re-blend OR add simple syrup to your drink. Leave the alcohol out for just a refreshing drink or something fun for the kiddos!
      • You can use this recipe and substitute any berries… strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc. (fresh or frozen)
  • Russ’s Drink Corner (now hijacked by Cheryl - and probably occasionally by Bill!)
    • Item: Joseph Magnus Bourbon Cigar Blend
    • Description: I purchased this to take specifically to Hamvention; I picked it because of the ABV (which was Russ’s age). We shared a dram, around the firepit at the hotel, with Steve-KJ5T, on Saturday night.
    • Info: Batch 457 / Bottle #20 (Purchased in late April 2026 from Total Wine in Springfield, MO - $259.99)
    • Mash: Undisclosed; Batch-specific blend of various aged bourbons sourced from different distilleries, primarily MGP and Barton, combined with their proprietary Triple Cask whiskey. Because each batch is uniquely crafted by Master Blender Nancy Fraley to achieve a specific flavor profile that stands up to a cigar, exact mash bill percentages vary from batch to batch. However, all batches follow a blueprint of blending high-rye and low-rye base bourbons.
    • Aroma: (All tasting notes were taken from Nancy Fraley’s Blog) A range of savory and sweet mint notes along with dark berries and citrus fruit, from a blackberry Bourbon smash cocktail with muddled mint, candied blood orange citrus wheels, and chocolate mint chip ice cream.
    • Taste: Breathtaking sensations of wintergreen mint, tobacco, chewing gum, Sarsaparilla, and Thai sweet basil with ripe mango.
    • Finish: Long and savory, with lemon balm tea, crème de menthe, and Cuban mojito cocktails with mint and lime.
    • ABV: 56.19
    • Score: 85

      • Much appreciate your podcast and listen when I can. I would love to hear more for beginning DragonOS/Linux users. I certainly know enough to be dangerous, so need to upgrade my old Hp-UX. I am having issues with updates/upgrades on my old ASUS repurposed laptop. It is failing to boot on the new upgrades linux versions. I replaced the old HD drive with a SSD, when I put it together. I did the DragonOS and 73Linux install from Ham Radio Crusader. I have updated to wsjt-x 3.0 and it works well. Also installed gridtracker2, so it will update my QRZ log for me. I want to get PotaCat running so I can tie to my new ic7300 Mk2 and run it remote from my tablet or phone. Mostly using it for wsjt-x, with gridtracker2. I want to take this laptop to the field for POTA activations and expand on its use. Satellite tracking is another area, as well. So in general anything on DragonOS maintenance, adding new apps like POTACat, gridtracker2 or other interesting HAM tools to the mix would be great! Also any basic Linux tools to manage it. I still need to learn how to add access to my wifi printer and other pcs as well. Ham On and blessing to the Ham Shack family from Texas.

Show Notes

Hamvention Wrap-Up:

  • Attendance, on FB and Dayton area newspapers, they listed the attendance of 25-30k people for 2026. Official number for 2025 was 36,814. So, our guess on lower numbers was likely correct (it will be a few weeks before Hamvention releases the official numbers)
  • Only a handful of people asked what Linux was (this number seems down… way down, actually)
  • Many folks said they are/have moved to Linux after the Windows debacle
  • Probably a normal amount of, “What can Linux do for me?” Type questions
