no. 113 - Forager's Gin This is the first Rhode Island gin I tried and the first in the Collection. This unique gin is made by Rhodium using botanicals foraged in the state. I purchased my bottle on July 27, 2025 during a visit to the distillery.
What I ate last week: January 9, 2026
Pictures and descriptions of what I ate last week. Enjoy!
Shepherd’s Pie
I don't know why I never made Shepherd's pie before, and usually I try a recipe a few times before committing it to writing, but this turned out so good in just one try that I have to document it, if only so I can make it again for myself.
Dino’s Kouzina
Dino's Kouzina in West Concord is starting to win me over. I have always liked the Italian Pizza, but now the meatball sub has made my list of favorite local sandwiches.
gin no. 117 – Sylvius Dutch Dry Gin
no. 117 - Sylvius Dutch Dry Gin I got this gin as a gift from Niki and Sreyleak when I visited to meet their baby in October 2025 and opened it on December 1. Named for Dr. Franciscus Sylvius who is undeservedly credited for inventing gin. The flavor is dominated by anise, which gives it a limited audience.
