If you own an SUV, you know just how expensive tires can be. That’s why you don’t want to replace them prematurely or wait until you experience a blowout. Here’s what you need to know about replacing your tires and how to choose the best ones for your vehicle.
It’s still several days away but, before you know it, Thanksgiving will be here and you’ll want something to drink. You could do worse than the Hornitos Harvest. It’s fortifying enough that it won’t get you comatose before the turkey and mashed potatoes do their number on you, but also strong enough that you should be able to properly adjust your attitude and be a little more forgiving of your family’s refusal to be anything other than your family. It also tastes good.
The star of our little show is Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila, which has magically found it’s way to my mailbox gratis and been featured here previously. With a richly bitter, woody edge that might please bourbon and Scotch drinkers, it’s definitely one of the more complex tequilas you’re going to find for around $30.00 for a fifth. Still, the question posed by the Hornitos Harvest is when we can cheat just a little bit on the cocktail truism that fresh juices are an absolute must. We’ll get a bit more into that after the recipe.
The Hornitos Harvest
2 ounces Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila
1 ounce pomegranate juice
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup or 2 1/2 teaspoons superfine sugar
1 lime slice (garnish)
Combine all of the ingredients, save for the lime slice, in a cocktail shaker. Shake for a good ten seconds or so, and strain into a rocks/old fashioned glass with fresh ice in it, and maybe also a nice lime slice. Give thanks that you’re lucky enough to enjoy tasty pinkish-reddish drinks!

The big question here is whether to try and juice your own pomegranates or go with the prepackaged stuff. I used bottled juice my first time out and, for whatever reason was slightly put off by my first try at the Hornitos Harvest. Somewhat harsher, more bitter flavors seemed to predominate in an otherwise very promising drink.
Blaming the non-fresh juice I was using, despite the fact that it really doesn’t taste at all bad on its own, I decided to give juicing a pomegranate a try. Mind you, one of my guiding principles in these posts is that no recipe should require readers to spend more than a few minutes to make a drink.”(Almost) no home made syrup, no DIY bitters, infusions, or liqueurs, and definitely no blenders!” is pretty much my watchword.
Fortunately, I found all it took was just a little bit of elbow grease and a tolerance for mess to juice a pomegranate using a manual citrus juicer. My next attempt at the Hornitos Harvest turned out to be a lovely balance between sweet, tart, and bitter/woody flavors that only got better on each subsequent try. Also, the color with fresh juice was brighter and a bit more colorful in the glass.
Then, I decided to try the unthinkable and killed my Black Barrel bottle for one more try with the exact same bottled juice I’d used on my first attempt. Turns out, this time I liked the results almost as much as the fresh pomegranate juice version. Go figure.
The phrase “celebrity home” conjures up images of opulence, style and of course, high expenses. We’re used to being amazed and thrilled by the homes of famous people, but it isn’t always the level of luxury that draws our eye.
Sometimes it’s the legacy and life of the owners that thrills us and makes the house more than just a home. Every so often, a dwelling that was formerly occupied by a celebrity comes on the market and the buzz around it is always palpable.
When you go shopping for a vehicle these days, you are spoiled with tons of choices and there more options available to buyers than ever before.

In a fast-paced modern world, it is only natural to want to have as many hours in your day as possible. Problems arise, however, when you choose to sacrifice sleep too regularly. Although the conventional wisdom suggests it is women who need “beauty sleep,” the fact is that men who stay awake past the recommended amounts also start to suffer. Here are several reasons why being sure to get a comfortable night of sleep is important to everyone interested in maintaining their health.
