Inquiring minds want to know. 😹 The pot still is the original still, a simple kettle that's easy to understand – boil some liquid in it, allow it to turn into vapour and collect some of it out of the top. A simple method of concentrating alcohol and the original method of rum production, brought over to the Caribbean by 'visiting' Europeans. The other type is a column still. Pot stills look like kettles. The “pot” refers to the large, spherical main chamber, from which a swan neck and lyne arm protrude like a spout. The arm feeds into a coiled condenser, also known as the worm, and finally into a collection vessel. Column stills are more industrial-looking than pots. They’re often much taller than pot stills and contain multiple chambers stacked on top of each other, sometimes reaching several stories high. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Pot I was thinking of....😹 All joking aside, how do you rate it compared to Kraken? Or are they two entirely different types? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kraken is a column stilled rum. The main difference is taste. With Tiki cocktails they use a wide variety of rums each with their own unique flavor and taste. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In October I will just want to be laying out in the middle of the ocean.....on a cruise ship. No real need to be concerned about the ports. Doesn't have to be an Oasis class. Just get out and relax! 😊 Thanks 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted May 21, 2023 #94061 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) We are on our way to LBI for the day. Momma and Papa bear were reminded this morning that our baby bear, Chris, has never been a morning person. Took us 2 or 3 times to wake him up at 6 am.

grapau27 Posted May 21, 2023 #94062 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Good afternoon. It is sunny and 63°F here at the beach. We had a lovely church service this morning. Father David was back after his 3 week's pilgrimage to Rome sporting a beard. I hope everyone is safe and well and I wish all my friends here a wonderful day. 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the weather will be sunny and warm for her big day. Congratulations to Erin! Today certainly looks like a much better day for graduation than yesterday was. We went out to dinner with friends last night, down near the beaches (when we made these plans we didn’t count on monsoon type weather). There were several large parties celebrating commencement weekend at URI, some of the new graduates still wearing their robes. I felt bad they had such a terrible weather day for their big event. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted May 21, 2023 #94065 Share Posted May 21, 2023 @Jimbo. Vincent's Diner is still a great place. We all enjoyed our meal. I had eggs Benedict with tomato and spinach instead of ham and it was delicious. They have the best coffee too!! Maybe when you stop in NJ to visit your Son before or after your cruise on Jewel you can enjoy a meal there😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far from Sydney is it, and is it inhabited? The photos are beautiful. It looks like a marvelous place to just wander and ponder! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this fits into a new level of crazy, in my book. Whether you have the money or not, that’s just insane. We had the kids here for dinner Friday night. Jess & Ali were stalking last minute ticket prices that were dropping rapidly the closer it got to the concert start time. From over $ 1,000 at around 6 pm, some were down to the $ 400 range by 8 pm. They cooked up a plan to try again last night. Cristina was supposed to drive up today to be in RI for work meetings all week, but they convinced her to drive up yesterday instead to join their quest. So the three of them headed to Gillette Stadium around 6:30 pm, hoping for the best. They didn’t end up getting tickets because they had all agreed $500 was their max, each. Tickets did drop some last night but adding in fees, etc brought the cost well over their budgets. But they had parked and walked, so they got as close as possible and ended up at Patriot Place (shopping & dining venue attached to the stadium) where they heard the whole concert, even if they couldn’t see her. Looks like a lot of folks did the same. The girls spent their money on t-shirts and sweatshirts instead and said they had a blast. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
