Ode to Bloody Caesar

Posted on October. 23.2022 by willkelly • Leave a comment

Some days are just bloody days. Bloody days can be pregame days. Some bloody days are holidays. Most bloody days are full of melancholy. There isn’t a perfect bloody recipe. Some are better than others, most just follow the mood. I like them light, refreshing, and citrusy. Then, I like them spicy. Then, I like … Continue reading →

Cocktail Hour: Neighborhood Speakeasy

This week I was invited to provide some content for my pal at Red Clay Soul. The task at hand became a lengthy and waggish piece on the holiday home bar- a list of sorts armed with a few recipes for “pink cocktails” that are sure to get Grandmom rosy and bright.  To be clear … Continue reading →

Rum and Island Dreaming

Posted on August. 8.2020 by willkelly • Leave a comment

Part I: The Longing There are so many things absent in our lives this year. A recurring treat that has sidelined this year are the impromptu pilgrimages to the Islands. For years, my wife Casey and I have slipped away for “long weekend” to dates together to the Caribbean. We usually travel on relatively short … Continue reading →

For those of you that follow my good friend, Mr. Red Clay Soul, you will know that I occasionally guest write for the RCS blog. Perhaps that is where many of you got to know me and have found your way to this little personal blog, Big Haint Blue. Today, we have “co-posted” companion pieces … Continue reading →

Kiss My Ice: My untold thing for the cube

I start my morning with a few cups of black coffee. Not just any coffee, the kind Tarantino made for Jules- the serious gourmet shit. I admire folks that enjoy their Whisky “neat”. Witnessing someone take proper afternoon tea, English style, makes me smile. In the hot South, if we stop at four o’clock to … Continue reading →

*Yes, this is a summer receipt right here in winter time, but here in the South- we pulled it off in the last of the “shortsleeve days”. I’m a Southern Soulfood guy. We do Lowcountry, farm and field to table, Creole, meat and potatoes, BBQ- that sort of stuff. But we fish. When we have … Continue reading →

Ice Bucket Challenge: Bourbon Whisky

Posted on February. 8.2015 by willkelly • 1 Comment

There will be people in Kentucky who chortle and snicker at this. If you are a Southerner, whisky is just something that is there like soul food, mosquitoes, and humidity. In college, we all mixed whisky in a Coke filled stadiumcup. When life got a little more sophisticated, maybe it was into a Presbyterian’s drink … Continue reading →

Musing about Whisky

Can I get you a whisky drink? That’s what my friend, Vance, asked me when my wife and I sat down in the lounge area of his restaurant before dinner last week. You see, that bold sentence could create the unmistakable illusion that I am a bar fly. In fact, I was timid at first … Continue reading →

Happy New Years Day everyone! Yes, in case you didn’t know it is National Bloody Mary Day (and who the hell cares?)– but it makes sense. I guess there are people dragging out of bed everywhere looking to rekindle. Personally, I’ve got a little Julia Child in me, I like a cocktail while I’m cooking. … Continue reading →
